I was just wondering what is everyone's nationality. I'm not being prejudice or anything, just curious. :bye:

I have dual citizenship between Germany and the United States.

Okay, forget wat I first posted.

~American--European~

American/German/Irish/English

that's just my mom's side. I dont know what my dad's side is

I'm a citizen of Ireland and America...

but anyways, my blood is English, Irish, and some Scottish. I for some odd reason though, group it all into British.

My nationality is American. My heritage is Scottish, Irish, English, and German, and supposedly there's some Cherokee in there somewhere.

American-

maternal grandfather is exactly 1/2 English and 1/2 German
paternal grandma is exactly 1/2 English and 1/2 German

American
German

And some country that's not a country anymore! :D

I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ here, but isn't it rare for a person to have more than ONE nationality? (I said it's rare, not impossible)

Here is the definition of nationality, according to Webster's dictionary: "The status of belonging to a particular nation, whether by birth or naturalization."

So how come so many people here are claiming multiple nationalities?

Because mostly everyone is confusing nationality with heritage.

Yea, I figured that. Although I do find the subject of heritage fascinating................

I think everyone pretty much knows by now where I'm from ;).
I do have relatives over in Belgium, however - my mother's mother was born in Brussels so I have Belgian blood in me somewhere. I don't really focus on that though.

Yeah, and also people can have dual citizenship. The US won't recognise it though. If you're born in Italy but then become a naturalized US citizen, the US says you're only a US citizen while Italy says you have dual citizenship.

I am a U.S. citizen, but my ancestors were French-Canadian, German, Italian and Polish. My cousin and brother are researching our family tree and so I just recently learned that I have Belgian blood in me too.

U S A

Canadian, my father's parents were born in England.

True, that's a good example of what I was thinking about when I made that statement (so thanks for making that point).

Anyway, I'll take my turn now.

Nationality: American

Heritage: Portuguese, Cherokee, Irish, German, Maya and, well, that's all I know about. I'm sure there's more..........
