(On the mothers side) The Swedish side--was traced back to the early part of 1000 AD. My mothers maiden name was Arliksson. Scandanavian families are easy to trace because true Scandanavians have names that end with son/sen at the end of them, which means they were the son of this person or that person some where down the line. That part of my family was from the northern part of the middle of Sweden near the coast, today people call that region Onka. Part of the Germanic side of my mothers family is from Thuringia, in the villages of Nordehausen and Sonderhausen. Thats in the heartland of Germany. I'm guessing if you want to go back further to the Pre-Charlemange era they'd be Visigoths. The other part of the Germanic side was from Bavaria, the town where some of them live today is called Obersdorf. It is a mountain village and one of the most beautiful places on earth in my opinion.
On my dads side they're all German and from the northern part of the country. They're from the Saxony region.

I've been thinking...is it wrong for me to think that my ethnicity is the best?
