Inspired by this thread after an original idea by HPL, who formulated his idea thusly:
My ancestors were Vikings. They were big and bad, and kicked the collective asses of basically everyone in Europe at one time or another, as well as some Arabs and Africans when the fancy struck them. I’d say my ancestry pretty much automatically beats any Anglo ancestry there is, given how much resistance the English put up back in the day (slim to none).
My ancestors going waaaay back were germs. They were tiny and insignificant, but if you caught them, you died.
Game, set and match, me 
Depending on how far back you go, my ancestors were first lumberjacks, then Vikings. Yeah, we’ll kick yer ass. C’mon, don’t be a wuss. Just step right up over here.
Well, my ancestry is about 3/4 Celtic (Scottish and Welsh). And the Celts are the big losers of history, in spite of having raided Greece and Rome. They wound up getting defeated by the Romans, pushed by Germanic tribes (themselves pushed by the Huns) and by the Danish, and then finally, in the modern era, getting pushed over the sea by enclosure acts and potato famines.
However, with Celtic knotwork art t-shirts, Celtic music, St Paddy’s Day parades, etc, etc, etc, we won the coolness war 
My other 1/4 is English, and they conquered half the world, though just how they pulled that off is anybody’s guess 
Ok, I have here a result of a genealogic study on one of my family names, and it says that it originated with Jaques de Badier, Marquis of Versailles and liutenant-general of the Kings (France) army, XVIII century.
Great, a French militar. Where do I sign the surrender?
But wait, another study of my lineage traced another of my family names to a gladiator! yeah, that´s better; I´ll be fine as long as the fight doesn´t involve lions.
Hey, we must be related, because that’s basically my ancestery, too. Trade off the Welsh for Irish and add in a teeny-tiny bit of Native American (wiped out by European diseases like smallpox), and that’s me.
Yeah, baby!
I’m one-quarter Transylvanian (my mother’s father). Don’t mess with me.
My ancestors started in England and migrated/indentured, who knows, to Kentucky and Tennessee. From there, they came to Texas and mostly stayed. The smarter ones moved on to California. None of them were particularly note-worthy so I guess I come from a long line of poor white trash. But none of them ever lived in trailers until my father and mother retired and moved to Florida.
The folks on my father’s side were german horse thieves. They don’t stick around for no fight, they just steal your horse when you are not looking.
On my mother’s side, Poor Drunk Irish Potato farmers. (Is there any other kind.) Your ansestors could whip their ass, but they could drink you under the table.
I’m Eastern-European Jewish. We’ve survived all the shit that history could fling at us.
Bring it on, fools!

My ancestors are the famous Dutch Traders. Yup: the guys who stocked all the new colonies like Australia and the America’s.
And I hate to break this to you all, but you’ve all been paying *waaay * too much for centuries.
Saps.
I’m related to both Robert E. Lee and Robert the Bruce.
Who wants some?
My ancestors used to do the dirty work for the Earl of Lennox, even got involved with assasination, so don’t diss the Eurythmics singer when I’m in town.
Well, my ancestry is mixed, but I have to say that the Scots (I guess they were Celts, back in the day) not only fought the Roman Empire to a standstill, but gave them such a drubbing that they said “That’s it! Today the known world ends here!” and built a wall defining the boundary thereof. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? Hadrian’s something-or-other, IIRC.

Eve, you suck!
My ancestors: German, English, Polish, and Seminole Indian… :dubious:
I’m not sure where I stand. 
I’m part Transylvanian, Hungarian and Italian on my father’s side. That’s the part of me that sides with dictators and bites your ass. Aftewards, we can have a nice paprikas!
On my mother’s side, I’m part Irish, French, Scottish, and Souriqous Indian. This side of me HATES the British Yeah, I’m looking at you Mayflower descendants. Feel my wrath! Or at least trade with me for fur and infect me with some horrible disease. Plus, my Scottish lineage dates back to the Royal Stewarts and further to the Vikings. My family has been around for a while and nothing can take us out.
Hmmm, Eve the Impaler? :eek:
Some of my ancestors were marauding Turks who not only conquered and oppressed a good chunk of the known world, but also knew how to kick back, smoke a hookah, and enjoy dancing serving wenches at the end of the day.
So, hah!
… but did your ancestors eat haggis, and wear a skirt (kilt) with no underpants?
I’m about 50% each of Scottish and French. So I guess I can eat haggis, but only if I put way too much sauce on it. As far as fighting goes, I’ll talk a good match over a beer or ten, but as soon as anything starts, I’ll surrender.
