What is Your Ethnic Background?

[Wierdguy]

Swedish. My family on my fathers side has for as long as the records show (1500-1600 sometime then) lived by swedens largest lake Vänern.

On my mothers side they have lived for (assumingly) as long in Skåne the most southern part of Sweden. Although Skåne was danish up untill mid 1700 so I guess I have some danish blood aswell...

 

[A Distant Star]

Technically I'm Metis, but since few people know what that means, I'll break it down like this. Half White (French Canadian) half Indian (Algonquin)

 

[bushwhacker2k]

About half Irish and about half German, with a tiny bit of Cherokee.

 

[Tibs]

My ancestors are mostly all from England. The other bits being filled by Dutch, Irish, and Scottish.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

English, German, Italian, Swiss... Mainly from Western European regions.

 

[Yeager942]

I'm American, but if we have to go into the specifics, I'm a quarter Irish and Norwegian and half Armenian.

 

[instantbenz]

German and from any searching, my family has found that we're 100%.

 

[Nimzar]

75% German... 25% other stuff (aka the American Melting Pot).

 

[Twilight_guy]

Pick some countries in Europe. I have family from all of them. There is special focus on Germany and Ireland but my family is pretty much mutts.

 

[fisk0]

Mostly Swedish, though the family has moved back and forth between Sweden and the US a couple of times in the last 100 years or so. If we go back another 500 years or so there are also some Walloon and Finnish traces in there.

 

[MaxwellEdison]

Mostly Irish, a bit Dutch.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

Hmm. Mother Peruvian-Polish, father Peruvian-Italian, I was born in USA, Mexican by heart...so yeah =3

 

[Treblaine]

Ancestors left Africa a couple thousand years ago, after that it all gets a bit vague.

 

[LordLundar]

half German, quarter English, and quarter Russian. I'm always fighting with myself.

 

[irani_che]

Persian and Irish

 

[kickyourass]

My background is quite a mix, I have German and Swedish on my mother's side and on my dad's I have English, Scottish, I think a little bit of Irish, and some Cherokee from his grandmother.

 

[Cliff_m85]

I'm French (French Canadian), Ukranian, and Norse. Norse being my favorite. I have a German last name though, despite having no German ancestry.

*SQUEEEEEEE* Clannad!!!!!

 

[Devil's Due]

American, I was born in America. That was kind of a let down, huh? Before people start claiming "that's not background," of course it is! People say "German" at times when Germany is a much younger nation than America, same with some other nations. It's rather easy, really.
