Whats your ancestry?

[JimmerDunda]

This thread is mostly aimed at Americans but Europeans are welcome to join as well.

Where do you live and what is your ancestry?

I live in Wisconsin of the USA and I share a Austrian, German, and Russian ancestry.

I live in the West Midlands in the UK, and I'm half English and half Welsh, hence the irritating name. There's apparently some French in there aswell.

I'm pretty much close to 100% Celtic Irish, with a tiny bit of Celtic Scots thrown in. Not a drop of English blood in me!

I should know, my dad hired a genealogist to trace it back as far as the records go.

Incidentally, I'm actually descended from the O'Neills and the O'Rourkes, two families who at differing times were the high kings of all of Ireland. Which is nice.

Well, that would likely make you a Gael rather than a Celt. They were a different people, albeit culturally (and genealogically) related.

I'm part Viking (All man!) I'm not sure what else is in there, but most of the distinguishing characteristics come from that.

I don't know and don't care.

Also, "I'm extremely close to full English" lol.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I'm born in Wales, half-English, with some Scottish and possibly Spanish ancestory.
Current residing in Wales.

It's a complex story. But I'm currently living in Britan, but my mother was Canadian, and father Icelandic. And apparently my Icelandic side can be traced down to Eric the Red. Part Viking too, then!

 

[The Hairminator]

I'm.. let's see... Swedish, Swedish, Swedish-American, and my grand-grand-grandfather something on my mother's side was Russian, although I'm not entirely sure about that. Oh, and guess what? I live in Sweden. Yeah, might be a little inbred.

I'd still say I'm more Viking than you

straight english up to like 150 years ago when we let an irish in the family. and before that we were highway men.

 

[The Lawn]

Half Welsh, half Scottish.

My ancestors were the crazy war clans that the Roman empire were scared of.
Sure that was a long time ago... but it would explain my interest in swords and stuff.

 

[8bitlove2a03]

I'm from Kansas. My biggest chunk of heritage I suppose would be the fact that I'm 1/4th Croatian. Other than that, I'm mainly Scottish and Irish according to my dad. But then again, he also claims his family has been banned permanently from both countries for being badass Robin Hood types, so who knows how reliable information from him is.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I'm so mud-blooded I can't even keep track anymore. All I really know is that I'm mostly German, a little Native American, some Portuguese, and no Italian. There's a hell of a lot other than that, though.

 

[erbkaiser]

I live in the Netherlands. My ancestry is Dutch/German, with a sprinkling (GGGP) of Irish.
And the Dutch side is originally German too, so I guess I'm mostly (Westfalian) German.

 

[Tumleren]

Living in Denmark, about 1/32 part Polish from my dad's side of the family, my mom's side is Danish as far back as we were able to track it

 

[splatterguy734]

My granddad was indian so I'm a quarter indian on my mothers side.

 

[HentMas]

I live in Cuautla Morelos México, and my ancenstry is a mix of French, Spanish (obviously) and indigenous

also, common knowledge is that more than halve of the people living in Morelos and other close states are relatives (in one way or another) of Emiliano Zapata, a Hero in México... funny thing is that the reason behind this is that the jerk had a lot of sons with several different women, and his brothers too... thats why i always date girls that came from other states, i dont want to be dating my cousin or something.
