Whats your ancestry?

[DarkSpectre]

English, East-German, Portuguese, Scottish, French, Flemish, and a sprinkling of a few other ethnic groups. Basically I am mutt of European descent. I am mainly the first three. Though the English side is a wash of Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and Briton. I can trace ancestors back to a lot of places. Kings and peasants, heroes and villains.

 

[Bigsmith]

Im 100% english. my entier family has come from england. or so i think.

 

[Tharwen]

I am half Scottish, a quarter Welsh, and a quarter English. I've lived in the East Midlands of England for my whole life (except the very first bit, which I spent in London).

[sub]To be totally honest, I'd rather have Irish than Welsh, but that's not up to me.[/sub]

My dad's side has been in yorkshire for a long time (ie 800/900 years at least) coming from our local Celts and the Norse. My mum's side is a little more varied, my grandmother on her side is a Burns from Glasgow and therefore either Picti or Scotti descent whereas my grandfarther is from southern England and can trace his herritige back to the Brettons, the Angles/Saxons and the Normans. So I'm about as 'british' as you can get.

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.

Ah, my fault, I always mix those up. Although I believe that Ireland is considered one of the 6 Celtic countries, so I suppose I could justifiably say I was one.

Still, I'll change it.

As an aside, the term Celt was first used in the 1800's and before then Gaels was the catch-all term

 

[tehweave]

I live in Kansas in the USA and my ancestry is Welsh, Finnish, Cherokee, German, and a bit of French. So I'm like a whole bunch of white people mixed in with a native american.

 

[Vortigar]

I'm a Dutchman with a French last name.

I hope I can leave it up to you guys to do the math.

 

[Dapsen]

My grandmother was from Greenland (she must have had strong genes, 'cause i do very well in the cold), but apart from that im purely Danish -Viking country, woooo!.
Unless some of my Danish ancestry migrated from Norway, Sweden, Germany, or Finland like 200 years ago.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

My mum's side is pretty much entirely irish, but the name traces back to Scotland.
My dad's side is english, except for his grandfather who was irish, with a name that traces back to Austria.
Makes me feel culturally diverse somehow.

 

[Danik93]

I'm from Sweden with Swedish background.... the family on my mothers side has lived in this very house I'm sitting in atm for 6 generations.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

Half throughbread english, half buchannan tribal scot, related oddly to alexander graham bell and william wallace, love the scottishness

 

[TehCookie]

I'm American, if you want me to get more specific I can't. All I know is that I'm 1/32 native American, and I have some English in me because my ancestor came over on the mayflower. I'm guessing there was a lot of interracial relationships since my family has been here so long.

 

[Klarinette]

I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, and I have English and Italian roots.

 

[son_of_khorne]

I am a quater polish, a tiny bit welsh and a ton of other stuff but I am mainly english.

 

[tendo82]

I am 3/4 Jesus and a 1/4 grey wolf.

 

[Billion Backs]

Canada, and for my ancestry I might as well simply say "Eastern Europe".

My parents, grandparents, and great grand parents generally lived in Russian Federation, USSR, and whatever it was called before that on this side of the world. But given how closely all the East European countries are related - especially during the days of USSR when they were all forcefully combined into one nation, it would be hard to say that I'm Russian.

Because there is no such thing as a "pure" Russian as nationalities go. But it's a safe bet that I have some Slavic and Jewish ancestry.

 

[Redingold]

I live in England, and I am very English. My family is in the Domesday book, although I do recall one of my distant relatives on my mum's side being Romanian or something.

 

[Mechsoap]

[not_the_dm]

Oh. I live in Australia, so I guess I'm not welcome to join. Pity that.

Yes you are!

Indeed you are, convict.

I live in England, and I am very English. My family is in the Domesday book, although I do recall one of my distant relatives on my mum's side being Romanian or something.

My home village is in the doomsday book. Well, sort of. One farm with a cow and two pigs, inhabitants, the farmer, his wife their son and two daughters and the plumber who was working for the local monks.

 

[EboMan7x]

Russian, German, Galacian, Irish, Scottish (maybe), Native American (VERY maybe)... and I THINK that's it.
