Romanian Ancestry?

[edit]

"Ancestry" refers to genetical facts, and not the place of birth (and it’s territorial classification at that time). Dornhelm is either of german (name!) or jewish ancestry, for he is related to Ioan Holender. Please don’t come up with the usual reduction of Jewry to religious terms only.

Wikipedia does have huge problems with terms as “ancestry”, “nationality”, “place of birth” and such. Criticism of this is not nationalism, but does refer to facts. If you want Dornhelm to be Romanian by all means, then do write “born in Romania”, don’t stress the term “ancestry” in an errant way (in case you want to be an encyclopaedia).
