I'm with you on this one.
Very, very, German, very, very Norse. Not a drop of French blood, near as I can tell, anywhere in the past 500-1000 years.
If one were "very, very" Norse he wouldn't be German, and vice-versa. And if you family tree goes back 1000 years, then there wasn't any distinction between Germany and France, so you may have more than "a drop of French blood" after all. Charlemagne would be considered a German by today's standards.
Good, I think it is pretty obvious, unlike with the post-war aftermath of WWI, which didn't have the results we see now.

My dad's family was very, very 100% German. My mom's family is very, very 100% Norse (Anglo-Norman and Norwegian). We can trace them back 500-1000 years. Hence my statement.
And Charlemagne was a German - Kaiser Karl der Grosse, holding court at Aachen (not Aix-La-Chappelle), in the German language, not a Roman tongue. The real French are really German Franks. The short dark haired "French" are really Gallo-Romans.
But I'm not even a Frank because my dad's family is pure Allemanian from Switzerland, the Palatinate, Alsace, Baden, and environs.
