I'm from England, so there's definitely Germanic lineage here, as well as...well, just about every other race from Europe.

I am horrid in French, but don't they call the Germans, Allemand?

There was a German tribe called the Allemani.

Euro history, and history in general, has always fascinated me, because it is my history, all the way over here in America, things that happened back then influence my life today.

We still live with remnants of Roman traditions today, Look at Washington D.C's architecture, look at alot of republics constitutional systems. Look at the catholic church., they filled a void after the fall of Rome.

I am always amazed at how little we change, despite how much we have changed.
