[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of us have families that have been here since practically the Mayflower. I would have zero chance of getting a passport anywhere other than the countries that basically sell them and I am not interested. [/quote]

WOW, how amazing. But just so you know, when you say stuff like that, people who can trace their ancestors back a thousand years or more are laughing at you. [/quote]

Honestly curious who can trace their ancestors back that far?  Are you Danish royalty?  [/quote]

Not Danish royalty, but yes, royalty a LONG time ago in a fairly insignificant place in the world. Means nothing today other than the fact that we can trace our origins better than some. I responded to someone else that my grandmother spent most of her adult life tracing her lineage and wrote a couple of books about it.[/quote]

The surprise is t that records were kept. It is that 2000 years worth of records are extant allowing you to trace an unbroken chain that far back. Can you only trace that far back via descendants of some royal or noble figure? Can hih trace that far back on lines of your peasant ancestors assuming your family mixed with the unwashed masses.[/quote]
