I wish I had more of a background like that. All I really have is Irish/Cherokee Indian.

We all have backrounds much like that only they have been lost to time.
I am part Welsh and recently read that the Welsh seem to be orignally from Russia (we are talking Ice age) and also seem to have moved into Spain as well. I wouldn't ever think of myself as Russian, but its there none the less.
Even the Cherokee which are classifed as 'clovis' in terms of anthropology (based on the clovis style spear point) were thought for a long time to be part of the first group of humans to live in the Americas comming over from Asia. Its becoming apparent that there were people living here prior to the clovis peoples and they were superceeded by the clovis people, the problem is no one knows their origin. A 9000 year old skull which made such a fuss gave this for facial reconstruction.
Looking like Patrick Stewart this has caused a bit of confusion. Undoubtedly there are forever lost links and stories with this, perhaps you are even related to this other group of people, but we can't ever know for sure.
I'd really love to see my true family tree and its a shame we humans have such short attention spans to really pay attention to those who came before us.
