You think you are a descendant of Alexander the Great, but in fact you are related to all the peoples that have occupied the contemporary SCG ever since.

 

My question: name the niece of the last Byzantine emperor, the wife of Igor III of the Moscow dutchy.

 

Googling not allowed. Either you know or you don't.

it was Ivan III who married the neice of the last byzantine emperor :-P . Her name was Zoe Palaeologus. the Russians called her Sophia, tho.

My family heritage finds it's way all the way back to a knight who swore fealty to william but William refused to aknowlege him because he had a reputation for killing people who pisssed him off. lol my grandma told me that story all the time when i was a kid. ^_^

[Arnieman]

Well, there were people with my last name who fought side-by-side with William Wallace... not that I've traced my family back that far.

 

Did find on a geneaology website where someone listed my grandparents - they are still living, and the site doesn't list living people... anyway, I can trace my family back to at least one person who fought in the American Revolution.

[Mad_Raven]

I can trace my family tree back to me!

[crypt1c]

Lol, how could someone get that wrong. This is a biblical question tho. Nero burned the city after confronting Paul etc. and other things which I will not go into here... just a bit of History Channel watching ^_^

[sparhawk]
