Mostly really German, here. Proof: In almost every history class I've been in, I'm *always* pointed out as the example of an Aryan. :lol:


As for the rest, it's a bit of Irish and some Polish.

If they were Jewish Germans, then that's not surprising at all.

I myself am quite the mutt. I have Iroquois, Irish, English, French, French-Canandian, and Norse blood that I know of.

Scottish + Scotch-Irish/Welsh --so I'm mostly Scottish. My clan is Gordon and there's actually an old hillside in the highlands that used to belong to us but we sold it a long time ago. ^^ So yeah, I dig dudes in kilts. :rock:

Btw, Scotch-Irish is NOT Scot + Irish--it's Scottish people that immigrated to Ireland during a famine and became part of the community there.

Filipino and miscellaneous whiteboy. Sorry, but we SEAsian types do not distinguish between Italians, Anglo-Saxons, Germans, Franks, Slavs, etc. Just like Italians, Anglo-Saxons, Germans Franks and Slavs lump CJK's and the rest of (East) Asia as "Asians."

My ancestors killed some Portugese guy, then had their rear ends handed to them by the Spanish for three centuries, then the Americans for half of one, and the Japanese for a very brief hiccough of time. (I think if the Japanese won the war, I would be speaking Japanese today). My maternal grandfather's ancestors must have escaped some Great Potato Famine from somewhere. And Grandfather himself deserted the US Army until Harry S Truman granted amnesty to all [s]cowards[/s] deserters some time in the fifties. Meanwhile, Grandfather fathered Mom and her siblings. Then he disappeared somewhere in Ohio.

Mangafanatic! We are the same!

My background is from alot of places... my father is from somewhere, but then his parents are from two different places, and then their parents are from two different places, and on and on, all over the middle east and europe or something.. My mother is less complicated, her background from england (I... think).

I don't remember exactly, I know I have at least some ancestors that lived in Canada which is cool (yay hockey!), but there's alot more than that I'm sure. I am 1/4 Scottish and 1/8 Irish I know, and I have some Indian, German and Welsh blood somewhere, among other things I think. I wish I had Japanese blood, but oh well, I do at heart. ^^

Most of my ancestors are from Europe. Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland... Those are the main ones. (random: an older man at work called me "Irish lass" last week o_O).
My family has pedigree charts (that's what they're called for people too :P ) back hundreds and hundreds of years.

I'm primarily Norse and English-Scot-Irish, but I have a notable amount of Greek, Portugese, and German. Like most Americans, I have at least one extremely distant Native American relative...something like a great-great grandfather that was half Cherokee or whatnot.
