For me:
On the English side we're mostly farmers and coppers, although there are a few scientists. Quite what happened to me I don't know. My most well-respected ancestor happens to be this chap.

On the Danish side, we're pretty definitely from the Jutland Vikings, and there is a quaint insistence that we're on the wrong part of the royal line. But that's most likely untrue. However, I await the day that I am called to ascend to the Danish throne. Hurray!

My mum is actually half Danish/German so that means I have a little bit of Danish in me : )
Edit - We also have someone who was a raving loonatic on my German side. Hence my joining this site.

No loonies in my family
Just a lot of engineers.

Half Danish/German?
My lord. What an unholy union that must have been! ;)

EDIT: We've one loon, on the English side. One of those guys who is so crazily intelligent he's a little bit mad. He is a lecturer in Biomedical Science and designed one of the first hip replacements. He's written books and is something of an authority on the subject. Can't tie his own shoelaces though.

Mine lived in an asylum until he escaped and raped one of my female descendants.
It did answer a lot of questions about my family when I found out.
