Whats your ancestry?

[Lord Beautiful]

I live in the southern United States. Genetically, I'm English, Scottish, Irish, German, and slightly Creole (the type descended from saltwater slaves).

I'm American and my ancestry is just about everything in Europe, except German... Also I'm apparently related to Atila the Hun.

Well, lets see; the 5 main bloodlines running through me are: Irish, Scotch, German, Swedish, and Native American (Chickasaw). I also have a bit of African American in me from my Mother's side.

My gran was Jersey French, otherwise I'm Devonshire all the way!

Yay for country bumpkins.

I live in Sweden, on the border to Finland. My ancestry is Finnish and Swedish.

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 thought the Gauls were from what is now modern day France?

Anyway, I'm English, Irish, Dutch, German, Cherokee Indian and my family lived in the southern US before the Civil War so...apparently there is some African too and that was when the curly hair integrated itself into the family. Then a good chunk of the family moved north.

Gael and gaul are different
Gaelic is a language spoken in Ireland (I think)
Gaul are French barbarians

Oh, whoops. I see. I misread what whoeveritwas said. I thought he wrote 'Gaul'.
