....Yeahhh. I am desended from Llwellen the Great, last king of Wales- He was beheaded and had his head paraded around Wales by the English King of that time. (Funny thing is, I'm also related to English Dukes, ect. highly thought of my the Royal family; and you're born into that rank. Ansestors against Ansestors anyone? Anyways.) He had some kids, and his brother who died escaping the London tower, also had kids. The desendeds later ended up in the coal mines, working. A lot of Wales is related to the Lwellens in some shape or form. So I was talking to my mom, and my uncle swears we are from Llewellen the Great. And we will be checking family books once we find them. The thing is, though, I thought this up:

"You know, considering much of Wales is related to Llwellen, we could be desended from him, but also his brother. You know, far-off cousins marring far-off counsins or something." "OMG YOU'RE MAKING THIS COMPLICATED. FIX IT."

The fuck is wrong with my mom. No, really. o_o Yeah, you might think "OMG INCEST IS BAD" BUT we all are related to eachother somewhere along the line, since WE ARE A SPEICES. But she doesn't believe evolotion to far back for man; only animals. :| -facepalm-

Personally, if I went to Wales, and found a Welsh boy who was far off related to me, I wouldn't give a fuck really. At most in relation from my Welsh side, he would have to be like... A desendent from my Great Grandpa's sibling or something. ._. (It was either my great-grandpa, or great-great grandpa that emigrated to America. My grandpa is full Welsh, though... So I think it might be just great-grandpa.)

Anyways. yeah. anyone else have momments like this? XD I think she is still mad at me too. O_o lulz.

Llewellyn is such an awesome name

Also, aren't all blonde people somehow related or something? I always hear people saying that.

Mirry- nods Yes. :) Scientists believe the gene arose about 11,000 years ago; during a glacieral peride in Europe. And it was, to ah, "attract mates"; standing out from the others.

Wow, now, that's an interesting ancestry... I didn't pay enough attention to mine to know but still that's cool.

It's fun to try an pinpoint the line where it gets gross. lol

Jewelz: Not really. It was more so to standout; I think: other colors like Red hair I -think- came up later on. I think they only had mostly blond, black, and brown hair during the ice age... I could be wrong, though. (I think red hair MIGHT have stemmed off of blond, due to the pigments in it, it is closer to blond then it is to brown) I normally think shiney, healthy brown hair is the prettist. xD The only blond I really, really like would be strawberry or platnium. Everyone is different, though. One of my friends really likes redheads. :P

Alcatote: haha, ditto. D;

Psyanide: :P I think cousin and anything closer is really where the line is. 2nd cousins can be iffy for me, though... .-. 3rd and beyond, however, is fine with me. -shrugs-

Hm. I know a bit about my family tree & whatnot, but only enough to know for certain that my family came from a city in France on my mother's side and that we're also related to this 'famous' pirate that no one's heard about. :P

Are you implying the Welsh are inbred? TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KN- NO NO, I kid, Welsh people that may be reading this. We all know you're more interested in sheep than your own relat- NO NO! I don't mean it. You're all normal, not inbred, people who have no sexual relations with animals whatsoever ;D

Anyway, I highly doubt you'd be related enough to random Welsh people to produce any inbreeding effects - unless of course, the Welsh ARE actually inbred D:

Olol. I'm Welsh/live in Wales and EVERYONE around here has about 50,000 cousins and are probably sleeping with their cousins. It's lol-worthy.

FDR and his wife are 5th cousins. Which I think is where the line is drawn. Personally, I would not marry anyone remotely (say 10 generations up) related to me. But I guess some people do prefer to skip close to the line.
