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.

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?

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.

Seeing as you are from Quebec, are you French also? Just curious!My husband is French Canadian on his mother's side but they came from Amherstburg , Ontario.

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..........
