i actually did some work on a family tree and could trace my heritage back to french protestants who fled france to settle in Prussia in the late 17th century. The whole family is pretty much straight prussian since then(this is my moms side). My dads family came frome russia to germany sometime in the mid 19th century, thats as far as i could trace that so that would make me maybe 1/8 russian 6/8 prussian and 1/8 something else. And there have to some irish genes in the mix because despite the fact that i, for the most part, look like the cliche german(blonde hair, creepy piercing blue eyes) my beard is red for some strange reason
