I was born in Liverpool:
Most dominant heritage seems to be Sony and Microsoft
Although i'm 1/8 Nintendo on my mums side, n 1/8 Sega on my dads.
We did a little digging into our family tree, and if you go back far enough, you can find links to the Atari and Commodore clans.

I lived in Jersey, now in Indiana, and I'm Korean. My parents and relatives all claim we're fullblooded, but I call shenanigans on that.

I'm pretty much 100% mixed between Irish and Scottish blood. For my birthday a few years back, my relatives gave me a keyring with my Scottish ancestors' family crest. Not to mention that some of my most prized possessions are my Irish claddagh ring and my Celtic knot earrings, so I take pride in my ancestry

My mum recently got into this stuff

My family on my Dad's side had lived in Dundee for a few generations, but had lived SLIGHTLY NORTH of Dundee before then (exciting, eh?)

My Mum's side comes from Hertfordshire, Herefordshire and Ireland. At some point, all the Hert+Herefordshire fellows went north to Sheffield and spent generations slowly moving down until they ended up in Birmingham, where my Grandad lived. The Irish lot went ALL OVER THE PLACE (As the Gaels are wont to do) and we loose track of the bunch

Far back enough, I'm related to Charlamange and all that lot (though, in all honesty, EVERYONE is that far back, so it's not really that big a claim), and there's a Norwegian family in there as well

I am 1/4 Gaelic, 1/2 Celtic, 1/8 Norman, 1/16 Saxon and 1/16 Welsh...ish

Plus Norway...just "because"

I currently live in Illinois, and know very little about my ancestry. I am one of those people who doesn't much care for that kind of stuff.

I've no idea where my Dad's folks came from, but my mom's folks are English (Gran), and Scotch-Irish (Grampa).

I believe I am third generation born on U.S. soil from my Mom's side.

Mine can be generalized to British-German, but more specifically includes Austrian, Irish, and Scottish. My brother also claims there's a bit of Romani in there, too.

So, "barbarian", basically. Just think of the dudes from the Capitol One commercials.

I live in Maryland. My dad's side of the family is all Lithuanian Jews. On my mom's side I have ancestors going all the way back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, including one of the initial settlers of West Virginia. According to the research my mom has done, one of my ancestors found the Cumberland Gap and showed it to Davy Crockett, who wound up with all of the credit. Another one of my ancestors was John Hart, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
