On Radio 4 the other day, an expert in the relevant field said that all Europeans who do not have completely non-European ancestry can trace their latest common ancestor to as late as the fourteenth century & they would be from southern Germany.


So come on, get digging......

Is that because they are very good at record keeping in Southern Germany? Or ...

Surely this expert was referring to continental Europe? I don't imagine every single person in the UK, or Scandinavia even, having German ancestry, however distant. I certainly don't, and I have virtually 100% English and Irish ancestry, with a dash of Scottish and Swedish thrown in.

Latest common ancestor, 600 years ago. Germany was not a country then, it would have been the Holy Roman Empire if my memory, and maths, serves me well. Everyone is descended from Charlemagne
