Family Veeky Forumstory

What's your family's history?
What ethnicity, what wars of nationality and ideology did they fight in, and on what side?

Obviously you need not go into personal detail since this is anonymoose forum, but just the general gist.

I...I don't know shit.

For example:
Protestant Anglo family here in the American continent since colonial times. Anglicized German name that we managed to actually trace back to Northern Ireland.
Somehow I never learned what my family did in our Civil War, but since they were in Iowa at the time they we're almost certainly Union.
Fought in the World Wars for the Entente/Allies naturally, and the West in the Cold War, having also fought in Vietnam.
All told the most archtype American: Protestant, Germanic, Anti-Communist, Western

Surely you know SOMETHING.
This is an international forum, just give your surname origin, nationality, and religion.

and your mothers maiden name and the name of your first pet xx

Also the number on your credit card + CCV and expiration date

Grandparents were too young during WW2, one great grandparent was an air raid warden, another was a soldier who basically did nothing the whole time since he was in one of the diversionary units who attacked the Isle of Wight.
One of them never talked about the war at all but definitely fought in it, so I assumed he either did or saw some really fucked up shit.

I'm one quarter French-Canadian and my ancestor came over to New France a long ass time ago

That's about it

Italian peasants, got the shit bombed out of their village in the 40s, came to Connecticut in the 50s. I had a great great uncle fight for Italy in WWII, to my knowledge he's my only veteran besides my maternal grandfather who is from China. He came over here and RICE'd a southern lady. He was a mechanic in Vietnam and got blown up, received a purple heart for it. Came with his uncle from China when he was 17.

Dad is a guinea from new England, mom is hapa southern lady.

Settled in Connecticut in the mid 1600s, one guy was governor of the Oregon Territory.
If you go really far back you've got the Carolingians and Willy I but literally everyone's descended from them.
If the Anglo-Saxons were right I've got Odin in there but that's probably bullshit.
