2% of humanity can say honestly that they have Hunnish blood boiling in them. I can do better. I am part of the .01% of humanity that can say they descend from Atila the Hun. Why is this such a big deal? Well for any of you that may be historically retarded, the Huns went through a "genocide" of a sort but most people would just call it revenge. After Atila died of natural causes at the ripe age of 88 (rare in those days) the Hunnish empire began to fall, the most feared man in the world was now dead. Most of Atila the Huns biological (the "royal" wife, Atila is recorded to have more than 22) children died in war or in one case disease and the other protecting the last of his people. Most of the Huns scattered, went into hiding, tried to rebuild the empire (failed), became Mercanerys, or just settled down to regular Europeon or Russian lifes. Amongst these are belived to be the children of seven Atila's lesser wifes. One of which is a daughter Joana, and her so Bareith, both of which can be traced to my family tree. YIPPIE! Im a Hun!
