How many generations before you "lose" ethnicity?

How long does it take to dilute the traces of a genetic strain?

A Half-life every generation?

Genealogy is the art of the living haunting the dead....

Heritage is the anchor in the sea of life,
holding us steady, giving us a standard to live up to or beyond,
a compass for our course, and a place to call home.
