For example, someone with a very trim, slight body might have had artist or noble ancestors, while someone with a more powerfully built form might have had soldier ancestors. Looking at your own body... what role do you think your oldoldoldold ancestors fulfilled in their respective societies?
(odd Kennatsu-esque questions, go!)
No, Really. Bite me.
Mine were probaly wet nurses, midwives, and some other kind of child/pregnant woman care giver.
Everyone in my family has what I'd call a sturdy build, pretty much made for lifting/pulling things, or hurting people.

doubtful. But you know what they say... Everything's BIGGER in canada, so our penny whistles must be at least a foot long.
No, Really. Bite me.

damn metric system, eh?

I like it, we've got the new 28 cases coming out, which kick the crap out of a 24, simply because you can fit more beer into the case!
No, Really. Bite me.

Or some kind of farmer. Something boring like that.
Though apparently, way back, my family had strong ties to royalty. So I guess we were royal farmers, or something. Or something.
Then again, I'm fairly sure I'm mostly Irish (further supported by everybody in my family being an alcoholic). And you know, those irish folk. All big and bulky. Or something. [ 03-26-2003: Message edited by: Suddar ]

I'm directly descended from Kaiser Wilhelm. Crazy shit man. My great grandmother used to have an old-timey family photo in her attic with everyone's favorite German warmonger (no, the other one) and her as a little baby.
That explains a lot. :D
Great something father was actually a famous classical composer, and every male I am descended from has been some form of runner when they were young.
Italian side is built like soldiers. All tall and well-built, and I inherited some of that, buuut...
My mother's side is a bunch of tiny pixilike artists and stuff. I'm a direct descendant of Thomas Chatterton, and everyone says I inherited the Chatterton genius for some reason. It's supposed to skip a generation, so I guess it would make sense...
Lover AND fighter, baby.

Supposedly my ancestors had the last name Wilhelm, but when they immigrated to ZE NEW WORLD, it got fucked up. [ 03-26-2003: Message edited by: Veruca Salt ]
I dunno for sure, though. I'd have to ask my dad.
Merchant, Govt. Official, something like that my guess.

Don't hurt me..
I know this for a fact because my family's officially been farmers for the past 5-6 hundred years (on my father's side, no idea about my mother's side), and there's not much reason to believe we weren't before.
My Great Great Grandfather on my Czech side was apparently a big player in some Czech civil rights movement, or something.
Also a direct descendant of Al Capone.
So I'm either a doctor, an engineer, a noisy troublemaker, or a bootlegger.
Go figure.
It's not something people hear about.
