What are you?

[Sean Snow]

Where did everyones family come from? Mine came from:

Father: Poland and Italy (Sicily)
Mother: Germany (Prussia)*

My family on my mother's father's side moved from Prussia during or after World War I.My grandfather was born in Cloppenburg and so was my mother. Cloppenburg is in north-western Germany, near Hamburg and the North Sea. So I'm:

50% German
25% Polish
25% Italian

Polish people are harder to do geanology on, because back then Poland was slipt between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia.

Prussia is now split between Germany, Poland, and Russia, but my family moved away when it was all German.

All my family on my fathers side are Scottish. My mother is Scottish too, but her mother was born in Belgium so I have a whole bunch of relatives in Belgium.

Umm... my dad's side of the family came from Germany, as did my mom's mom's family. My mom's dad's parents (my great-grandparents) came over from Czechoslovakia. I know it's not a country anymore but it was when they came over (during WWI, I believe, but I may be mistaken), and I don't know whether they were from the Czech Republic part or the Slovakia part.

I'm 100% German... Nothing else, although, I'm not sure which part of Germany.

American. 100% through and through. My ancestors were a mixture of German, Norwegian, and Irish. But I don't consider myself anything except an American.

Grandma: 1/2 English 1/2 German

But if I traced my ancestors, most of them were over her by 1900. So I'm a mutt I guess?!?!?

[Cokies]

My father is nearly all Scottish, with a little bit of English and Irish. But my last name originated in Scotland. My mother is also of Scottish-English decent, with more Irish than my father. And there's a hint of Portugeuse, but it doesn't show up in me.

But I always say i'm a good ole' Scot. Proud of it too. Mossopp with be glad to hear that. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Umm... for me it's hard to tell cuz both my parents are mixed but anyways:

Dad's side: my gradfather is East African Indian. Born in America.
Grandmother: German, Polish, Native American, Indian and Dutch. No clue to where she was born.

Mom's side: Grandmother: Native American. Born in America
Grandfather:German. Born in Germany.

So, i'm mostly German Indian and Black, but I identify myself as black, even tho' i don't look like a normal black person.

My family is confusing. In simple terms:

Mother:Mexican/Native Amarican

Father:French

You don't want me to post the complex terms.

[lesliem14]

My Mom's just about 100% German and my Dad's mother's side is 100% Irish. Dad's father's side is a combination of English/Scottish and I think some Welsh. My last name's definitely English though. I have a family reunion in California in a few weeks and the "older generation" is going to teach the "younger generation" the family history. I'm looking foward to it, but then again I'm a history major!

[JoPol_wannabe]

My Mom and Dad are both German/Russian but were more German then Russian see my family moved to Russia during WWI. Practically the everyone in my town is either German or German/Russian.

Teddy: You all set for tomorrow night?
Jinny: I have my bullet proof vest polished if that's what you mean.
Teddy: Come on, Jinny.
Jinny: Oh, yes. Actually... I bought a dress.
Teddy: You did?
Jinny: There is no guarantee, however, that I am going to wear it.
Teddy: So, uh... I don't know. What else did you buy?
Jinny: How do you know I bought you anything for your birthday? Maybe I plan on knitting you a sweater or... give you something much more organic.
Teddy: Well, you do give good organic.

Teddy: What's this dress look like anyway?
Jinny: Oh, yeah, OK. Low cut, skin tight, animal print, ruffle at the bottom. Don't you have lawyering to do?

Teddy: Be honest with me, not my parents!
Jinny: All right, fine. You want honesty? Why don't you let me tell you a little bit about my family? See, I never really had a birthday party unless you wanna count my 15th, when my father showed up for cake, plastered in his underwear! Oh... yeah, by the way, my mom couldn't make it that year either because, well, sadly, six months earlier she blew her brains out!!!!!
Teddy: Jinny, my God.
Jinny: As for my brother, ugh... yeah, John... see, he just doesn't like you unless your American, white, and straight... and for me, a few weeks ago when I had that nut case after me... yeah, I had to make a little list, of all the guys that I've slept with in the last two years. I couldn't remember some of their names.
Teddy: Stop.
Jinny: Ya know what? This is who I am, this is my family!!!! Come on, it's your turn. Go ahead, flash that all-American, prep school, choir boy smile and you tell me that it doesn't matter!

Actually, it was the Irish because of the potato famine. At least during the big industrial revolution it was Irish. Maybe since then Germans have passed the Irish up...

[Sean Snow]

Germans are the largest immigrant group- A German is anyone who speaks the language. 1/4 of the US population is of German decent.

Mother: mostly Finnish, a little Swedish.
Father: mostly Irish, a little German.

[Ian]

Father: 100% Scottish
Mother: She's Scottish, but she had an Irish surname. So, there is a wee bit of Irish in me.

I'm 100% English. I was even related to Princess Diana. We had a common relative way back- Ichobod (sp?) Spencer. My grandma's maiden name was Spencer. Some of my relatives over in England are Earls and Dukes. (My mom always kids me saying we're royalty, lol) My dad's side is English, too.

That's so cool. Did you ever have the opportunity to meet Princess Diana when she was alive?

[triple19]

I'm also 100% American. However, on my Dad's side of the family, I have Irish, Scottish, and Polish kin. But on My Mom's side of the family I have distant, distant Russian, Swedish, and Irish kin.

[DJM77]

I was told that I'm about 60% english. I also have a little bit of irish, scottish, and indian in me.

No, unfortunately, I didn't. But my grandpa has done a lot of research about our geneology, and he has gone over to England and met some of our relatives over there.
