Ermm I do believe pure English (Yeah yeah I don't count all the invasions and stuff, don't be pedantic).
Yeah it's not a very interesting ancestry, to be honest.

Normally live on the East Coast of Scotland (except for this 1 year in the US)
98% Scottish, 2% Irish.
Although If I were to do some proper research and go really far back, I suspect that I might have some Germanic/Norwegian origins as well because of the Viking presence in Scotland.

I live in Annandale Virginia. Weirdly enuf though my family all the way back to my great great great grandparents are Dutch. So even though I have never been to the Netherlands or any where in western Europe othere than Italy I can still be considerd Dutch.
I am an immigrant to America (lived here for 7 years now) so I'll add:
6 to 8 generations of my family in dad's side lived in South-East Africa (primarily Madagascar)and we are all of Indian descent, so the term applied to us is "Khoja". I come from a long line of businessman from the Gujarati province of India from grandfather and proper Mumbai from Grandmother. Grandfather came back to India where Dad was born in Pakistan after all the Muslim Indians were forced to go there when the Brits left. So from dad's side I am Indian/Pakistani/Hindustani/Khoja. What's really cool is that my family dates back to pretty much the beginning of India. From Harapa to the Gupta's. But My family is most known in the Mogul empire (we have been Muslim for an extremely long time), I am the descendent of a Mogul emperor and we fought against the Hindu empire of the Rajputs as they were called though I really hate that Hindu's and Muslims in India have to be enemies.
Mom's side is a whole different story. Primarily Mexican, Aztec roots. Don't know a whole lot about mom's side other than that. Her family has been in USA for at least 5 generations living in Mexican communities in Texas so they are still pure Mexicans.
