    From the beginning of the 18th c. , for which time I have accurate information, all are Bulgarians, Orthodox
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.

    They had been both Arabs and Muslims(sunni-7anafi school), though my paternal grandmother was a Lebanese Shi3a Arab married to my paternal grandfather who was a Palestinian Muslim Sunni who fled to Lebanon in 1948 when he was 48 years old(he died at the age of 110 back in 2010). I'm 3/4 Palestinian and 1/4th Lebanese.

    My paternal great grandmother was a Macedonian Greek(not from the Slavic country of Macedonia, just from the region in Greece) who got married to my paternal great grandfather when he was stationed in Egypt when he was a Ottoman soldier. Both my mothers and fathers villages had Moroccan Berber families living in them, and that my great-grandfather from my maternal side was half Egyptian.

    8 great-greatparents from Toledo (Spain) from two villages 15 kilometers of distance one from the other, mostly catholics and some atheists.

    I have a galician and basque surname, but my origins from there comes from the beginning of the XVI century when my village was founded. I have historical information that my paternal family has lived continously in the same village for 5 centuries (any familiar did an 'excursion' to the Américas, but came back)

    Very boring

    I know guys I'm asking too much (I simply like clean, ordered statistics), but it would be cool if you would stick to my OP and provide the number of how many of the 16 great-great-grandparents of yours were ethnicity x, y or z, rather than just broadly mention they were mostly ethnicity x, y, z. And of course, needles to say, only if you are sure about it.
