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. ------------------ Jack: You know what your trouble is, Chrissy? You're a compulsive eater!

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.

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.

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. ![]() ------------------ " I love the dark, I love the dark. But I hate nature. I HATE nature ." - Chunk |

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.
