Nationality?

What a compliment

I was born in Texas, USA. My dad's side has English origins, while my mom's side has Irish origins.

Strange thing is, I have a picture of my great-great-grandfather (my dad's side) and he looks black, and then my grandma says that at some point someone in our family married some famous Native American. Don't remember her name though.

I'm still as white as a cauliflower, though. <.<

NOTE: Well, maybe not that white...

25% German, 15% Scottish, 5%French, 2% English, 23%Elf, 24% Cat.

100% American Crazy Person.

I'm 50% Russian and then some mix of German, Welsh, English, and some other European nationalities...

But I've lived in the USA all my life and was raised American.

I'm sure you'll be sorry you asked after this post

I was born in Florida, and I've lived inthe USA all my life. Now for my anscestors. I'll give y'all the percentages in order. lol.

Native American- 50%
Italian- 15%
Greek- 10%
Irish- 10%
German- 5%
Scottish- 4%
French- 3%
English- 3%

This may sound crazy, but we did research projects last year on just this. I look almost pure Greek. I have dark brown hair, green eyes, deeply tanned skin. I am tall, which is an attribute of the Native American, I believe. The Greek, Italian and Native American in me really show in my apperance. Anyway, there it is

Yeah, I'm boring too. My parents, my parents parents, my parents parents parents . . . (you get the idea) are all from the same place. My entire family was born and raised in Macedonia, except for me. I was born in CANADA! (woo!) I can pretty much trace back most of my family history since they are all from the same country. And, that's about it, nothing interesting.

As far as I can tell(and I am planning a family tree of some sort with origins...sometime...) I am Slavic as far back as I can tell.

From my dad's side(who was born and raised in the FORMER Yugoslavia, now Bosnia i Hercegovina, very near to Mostar), I am Croatian. Because Bosnia & Hercegovina has three predominant races/religions; he is a Croat/Catholic to clarify things(and as far back the line as my dad can recall from his dad and his).

From my mom's side(who was born and raised in Slovenia[north of Croatia], again, former Yugoslavia), I am obviously Slovenian, and according to my mom, a bit of Hungarian, because her grandmother was so(my mom's mom was Croatian). I might have Macedonian(I have to find out from my mom), and it doesn't seem too farfetched that I have a bit of German in me somewhere down the line(at the least, I wish^^;;).

As far as religion, on both my parents side, they are Catholics.

Both my parents came to Canada when they were around 14-17(young I know; my mom came here out of choice, my dad to escape communist Yugoslavia at the time, he went to Germany and worked with my Uncle for some time, before going to Canada) My mom's aunts lived in Montreal, so she lived there for some years, before coming to Toronto. (I have a french-cousin, once removed[and younger by some years]).

And here I am today, one of the first of the family to be born on Canadian soil!(on my moms side, second).

Chinese from Taiwan living in New Hampshire since 2 years old (exactly).

I was born in NZ, my mum & her family moved here from England when she was 6, and have some Russian in their background...my dad was born in NZ but he was adopted so we dont know about his parents. He guesses they may have been Irish. I'm certainly English though; very pale skin, freckles, brown hair, burn WAY too easily...Plus, when I'm joking I do this weird British accent unintentionally LMAO. I dont really know that much about my family history but my aunt is doing a family tree so I might have to get in touch with her about it...you've gone and got me interested now #-o

Well, let's see. I'm black and I'm in America so I guess that makes me plain ol' African-American.

Actually, my great great paternal grandfather was Irish and my great great great maternal grandmother was Navajo I believe. But yeah, besides that...African I guess.

Feh...

I am a nothing...

Chinese and American.
Got Austrian and Portuguese and Norweigin and Romanian and Hungarian and Irish in me.

Oh wait!
In America, there is nothing else, it's just American! Nobody cares about what else you are here as long as you have that lovely abomination of an A-word after a hyphen after some fancy prefix of a "nationality".

Wow... why was I so angry again?

My head hurts now.- how on earth do you all; A) have so many nationalities in your line? and B) know?

If your family has been in the US for long enough, you get pretty mixed up. I am %100 American mutt. Let's see...in order of greatest contribution I am (to the best of my knowledge): Polish, German, Spanish, Scottish, Irish, English. At least, that's assuming my mom was lying when she told me she bought me from the Gypsies.

I'm seventh generation Australian, and proud to be so My ancestors came out on the first fleet
