Where are your ancestors REALLY from?

Where are your ancestors REALLY from?

Where are YOU from?
Where do your ancestors come from?
What race of people are you descended from?
And how far back can you trace your ancestors?

Most people when asked where they are from, they say, Britain, America, Japan, Ireland, France, or what ever country you live in.

Most people know where their father is from, their grand father, or maybe their great grand father. Some people who spend a few years tracing their roots, at best, can trace their linage back about 10 or 12 generations. But after that, there are almost no written records.

Your family surname can give you a rough general idea of where in the world your father's blood line comes from, but not your mothers line. DNA testing can tell you what ethnic group you belong to. But most people have never had a DNA test.

The Bible says that every single human being on earth descended from Adam and Eve, who were living in the Garden of Eden, down around modern day Iraq. That would make everyone on Earth an ancestral Iraqi.

Charles Darwin's theory says that your ancestors roamed the plains of Africa hunting and gathering. This would mean your ancestral home is Africa.

Where are you from? And how far back can you trace your roots?

This thread is really really interesting!!

Now anyone here who has white skin, and some type of European surname, knows their ancestors came from Europe. Most Americans are not American, they are really European - Spanish, British, Irish, Dutch, Italian, Polish, etc, etc.

Many people here mention a connection to Ireland. And John Neale, you live in South Africa, but your white, so your ancestors are European, and your surname "Neale" suggests Ireland or Scotland.

Now - I can take you back much much further than that!!

If your ancestors passed through Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales, there is a very old book from Irish history called "The Book of Invasions", or in the old Irish language its called "Lebor Gabála Érenn"; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebor_Gab%C3%A1la_%C3%89renn

The Book of Invasions was written in the 11th century, possibly by monks or priests, they are not sure. But the book describes how all the various "tribes" came to the Island of Ireland over the coarse of a few thousand years. Its quite a violent book, as each successive tribe "invades" Ireland and fights for Kingship and power.

All these people passed through all the other European countries like England, Scotland and Wales, France, Greece, Germany. But it goes back further, it actually goes back as far as the Biblical Adam.

Because The Book of Invasions goes back to the Biblical Adam, academic scholars treat the book as pseudoscience, they say its pseudoscience because they don't trust the Bible. But the book is incredible, its got a massive genealogy of all the "Lost tribes of Israel" that went north out of Israel. If the book does turn out to be correct, then through that book, any one of you could trace your ancestors all the way back to the biblical Adam.

There is a full English translation of "The Book of Invasions" here if anyone wants to read it, its free;

There are 8 parts, and about 95 chapters in the book.

If The Book of Invasions is true, these peoples, these "tribes" are YOUR ancestors! These people have YOUR genes, they have YOUR DNA in them. YOUR blood flowed through their veins! And a part of them still lives inside YOU today! They are YOU, and YOU are them! This is YOUR history, and a large part of the history of the world!
