your ancestry

[Roca Wear]

what nationality is every1? im 50/50..half german and half italian

[Bonos-Girl]

i'm english...but kinda 1/8 or 1/4 irish...

[Moraneah]

Although mostly western european, I am 1/8 quapaw an American indian tribe.

[Rumil]

english here - no interesting mix as far as i know

[Sindarin]

I'm 50% Italian and 50% Irish.

[Ralenquil]

100% American

[Aubrey]

Hey, Roca - I'm half German half Italian, too... Well, Sicilian - but that's Italian.

[Glarawen]

ummm a lot of things:

mums mom side: irsh
mums dads side: german
dads dads side: german/ brit
dads mums side: brit

i am a lot of those things and i get hothead like the irsh
people say i act like a brit (whatever that means)
so i am very different!

[Arkenstone]

First and foremost, I'm 100% American, and proud! :evilcool:

My ancestry is...
50% Italian
12.5% American Indian
12.5% German
12.5% French
12.5% Scotish


So, I'll make you a scalping you can't refuse and you will
like it with a cheezy sauce while I shoot lightning bolts
out of my arse!

Ooooo, genetic confusion!

[Evenstar]

I am 1/8 welsh and 7/8 english, so basically i'm british! I haven't ever been to Wales tho... My Grandad's dad was welsh and he died before i was born.

[Gwaihir]

Those mixes are cool, but I'm starting to get mixed up. :) I'm 100% Japanese, and I'm proud to be one. I've a person I know who says no one's 100% Japanese because Adam wasn't Japanese! lol

[Nessa the Dancer]

Hmmm lol

I'm a half and halfer as well.
Half English half French, that makes for a nice mix.

[Pil]

I'm 100% Welsh and proud of that too...however i was born and brought up in england...darn it...so i suppose most people regard me as english but i'm really not.

Um...

Mam = Welsh
Dad = Welsh
Mam's Mam = Welsh
Mam's Dad = Welsh
Dad's Mam = Welsh
Dad's Dad = Welsh

lol

You get the picture! However my Dad's Mam's Mother or Father (my great grandmother or father) is irish....i'm celtic blood all the way! :thumbs: :)

[Brego]

I'm just plain British/English :)

[Roca Wear]

haha cool aubrey

whats welsh?

[Keverzwijn]

I'm from Belgium, pure belgium as far as I know.

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Weeell...I'm norwegian...but then there's some sameblood in me, from a coupple generations back! My great-great-grand-father was a same, readhead, owned quite a bit of land in my mothers hometown. Reindeer and all! Oh, and while we're going a bit back...this borders to off topic, but what the h...around 1680 one of my ancestors was beheaded for killling her (probably), violent husband!:o

[Frodo's Love]

I'm German, with Dutch roots actually. But that's long ago, at least five or six generations... and it's quite funny that I'm now the only one in my family who can speak Dutch... :)

[Keverzwijn]

nice, to see that someone else speaks dutch. Van wie heb je het geleerd Frodo's love?

[Galadriel]

I am Irish, German, French, British, and Swedish

[Cuthalion]

Well, as I'm chilean I have a lot of mixes going on (South America is a mess) But I think I'm part Spanish, part Italian and part miscellaneous races....let's say I'm just chilean.

[Frodo's Love]

Ik heb enkele taalcolleges gevolgd en twee jaar in Nederland gewoond:grin:

So you're Flemish? :) I've been twice to Antwerp... lovely people there!

[Gatsby]

well i'm mostly Irish (i look it too... red hair, blue eyes freckles and skin that will burn on a cloudy day) but there there is also French, British and austrian thrown in there as well

[Ithielnor]

I'm American. If you are asking for my blood line you are asking the wrong person.
Here are some of the parts, the rest is unknown:
25% Japanese
25% Ukrainian
12.5% Irish
3.125% Cherokee

who knows what else!

[Bonos-Girl]

isn't cherokee a type of car? or should i shut up now! lol

i look irish...ginger hair, freckles, blue eyes, i burn so easily its terrible.....its good i live in england i guess rather than south of france or spain....lol

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Really BG, never heard of the cherokee- indians? :grin: And I'm off topic again, but I just have to say this; lovely avatar, Gatsby! Much better than the other options,even if they were beautiful...this ones really Gatsbyish!:cool:

[Gatsby]

thanx ! i thought so too... took me forver to find one that wasn't a pic of a beautiful flawless elf warrior type maiden... which is painfully not my style... anyway yeah i know i can identify with the you there BG on the 'jesus i burn like crazy' matter. by mid May i can't go out without sunblock... i've never tanned in my entire life :mecry:
out
gatsby

[Lady Arien]

Oh my...it seems that I'm the only one here (so far) who's Russian....100% in fact. I was born and raised in the United States, but my grandparents on both sides were teenage immigrants...my grandfather's family settled in Mexico, where there is still a thriving Russian Molokan community, and my grandmother's family came to the East coast...through Ellis Island, I believe. My stepmother has done some intensive geneology investigaton, and it turns out that I'm related to the Romanovs...I could be a long-lost princess, just like I've always said I was (hehehe). The actor Boris Karloff also shows up in the family tree as well. But, alas, my children are pretty much mutts...my son is Irish, Maltese and Russian, and my daughter is Russian and who knows what else, 'cause we haven't sorted out the tangle of Illu's ancestry yet (although he prefers to claim Scottish blood 'cause his grandmother's last name was MacGraw). People always ask me if I speak Russian, but I've never had the patience to learn it, although there are a few words I've always used since childhood, for everyday things like teapot, blanket, etc.

[Glarawen]

I have to agree learning a language is really hard! I am trying to learn spanish (and elvish) but if ya aint forsed to speak it (like if i was to move to spain) you really cant learn it all in a class and it is a lot harder

[Ludibunda]

Bull Roar Roca Wear! I"M half German and I think I would KNOW if YOU were half German. What's your proof?

I'm 1/2 German, 1/2 Scott, a little bit French, a little bit English and 1/64 Chippewa!

So PRIOVE you're German RW or I'll send a buffalo to sit onyou and then I'll scalp you Italian head!

[Lintefaniel]

I'm a girl!!!! But according the genealogy....I'm Welsh, German, Very American (were talking colonial) and 1/64 Quapaw (kind of a Souix). It's also likely that I may have some African American traces but they would be very slim chances and I would have to do some serious diggin.....But we're all God's Children!! And it's all good in the end anyways...;)

U know how in the U.K. there is England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales? A Welsh person is someone from Wales. :)

[Bawax]

i'm english all the way i think, my great, great grandad was german but he was born in the uk and fought for britain in the war.

i feel like i'm a rather dull nationality now. :)

[Pil]

Whereabouts in england are u from B? England can be cool...this being said by a welshgirl...it must be too early for me! lol

[Bawax]

i'm a Londoner, i've lived here all my life.

what part of wales are you from? i've only been there twice, once to Brecon beacons and once to swansea. i like it there, it was relaxing but maybe thats because i wasn't at work or school. :)

[Pil]

Well my family all live in the Rhondda Valleys about an hour or so's drive from Cardiff. Brecon Beacons = beautiful! I only went there when i was little but i remember it so well! :)

Londoner! :thumbs: BG is in london today...keep an eye out for your date! lol lol lol

[Bawax]

lol ok i will do or would but i have no idea what she looks like. :huh: probably for the best, i'm looking rather rough today, i haven't shaved for a week. :Orc: :elfeek: lol

the brecon beacons was beautiful but i was on a training thing and had to run up and down all manner of places in the middle of winter, i liked swansea, it was a very lively place, me and the people i was with were looked upon as a strange thing cause we all had london accents and were rather noisy. :blush: :)

[Pil]

She's got straight ginger hair with blue eyes, PERFECT figure...i swear it's just not fair! lol

She might go for the unshaven aragorn stubble look....or she might just run! lol only joking mate! :p

[Bawax]

she sounds distinctive but with over 10 million people in london its very unlikely that i'd ever bump into her, especially as i'm sitting in my house on the internet. ;) lol

[Pil]

Well she's back...i suppose u didn't bump into eachother...lol

[Bonos-Girl]

nope...not to say i didn't look! lol

i was in the car most've the time....we drove through most of london actually cos we had to go somewgere after (my mums boss's singing concert..don't ask) so we went a differnt way out of london than we came in....

[Finrod Felagund]

Welsh, Danish, French, Scot, etc.
pretty much a mut

[SindarinGirl]

I'm American and that's all. :grin:

My mom is an English (English/Welsh) immigrant, though, and my dad is / was American.

Lady Arien, I think Russian is one of the most beautiful languages! Such a rich sound. I love listening to it! I took Russian History in college (up to the October Revolution) and it was one of my favorite classes. I'd love to visit Russia one day - do you have any contact with your relatives there?

[Lady Arien]

I don't even know if I have relatives there, to be honest. There are some distant members of my family that have traveled there, but unfortunately, I'm not really in touch with the Russian community here in California. Most of them are "old school" church people, and I haven't been to a Russian church since I stopped going to Sunday school years ago. I would like to visit there someday, though...I'd love to see St. Basil's Cathedral.

[SindarinGirl]

Russian Orthodox Churches are so amazing!! The glory and workmanship is astounding! :thumbs: I hope you get to go!

[Lady Arien]

It will be quite an experience, if it ever happens....I've never been inside an Orthodox church. My immigrant ancestors actually came here to have the freedom to practice their own religion, for which they were persecuted by the Orthodox church.

[Arkenstone]

Orthodox churches do tend to be a bit...um....that way...

[Erana]

I am..are you ready for this?

Scottish(Mostly)
Irish(Mostly)
German(Little)
Native American(Mostly)
French/Canadian(Little)
English(little)
And God knows what else! there is alot more than what I put down but I can't remember! lol

My family came over for the same reasons Lady Arien we came worship freely *is a Christian and proud of it!* I am non-denominational that means I have no special sect or anything. i just asked Jesus to forgive me and come into my life and I read the Bible(Though somethimes I forget) But yuppers that's why my fmaily came over the seas...ofcourse the Native American part didn;t have to go anywhere! lol

[Pil]

Wow! What a mix! Now i'm beginning to feel like B was....i'm so boring! lol

[SindarinGirl]

I know what you mean, Pil! My family appears so centric - no one mixing outside their own culture! Where was their sense of adventure? lol

[Bonos-Girl]

lol...my family's quite boring really.....you american people are so lucky to have loadsa differnt cultures as your backgrounds!

[Arkenstone]

I just found out something cool this weekend...

On my mom's side, I'm related to two presidents!

They're each from opposite sides of her family.
Zac Taylor and James Polk.
THEY were related by marriage.

The Taylors in my family are from Scotland, Clan Cameron(sp?)

The German ones fled Germany for their lives as the
Von Richers, went to Amsterdam and became the Van Rissers.

Taylor became a Marshal in the Oaklahoma territory and merried my great grandmother from the Amerindian side. :evilcool:

Whew!!

[Pil]

Wow! :king: :notworthy:

lol What an interesting ancestry! :thumbs: :p

[SindarinGirl]

Originally posted by Bonos-Girl

That's why the US is called "The Melting Pot"! :thumbs:
I know it sounds like a fondue restaurant.... lol

That's amazing Arkenstone! :o

I'm related on my mother's side to St. Boniface, and possibly Billy the Kid (William Bonnie, a Wild West outlaw) - how's that for a mish-mash?! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

whoa...you could be related to billy the kid?! thats so cool! i'm related to someone hamilton (not christine and her husband...)someone who married someone famous like a poet or author or summat

[Kenzie]

i'm AMERICAN!!!!

well other than that lol ........... i'm half spanish ( my mom was borne there ..) and half sweedish!!!

[legolastheawesome]

I am American too, if you want a generalization....

I am a Guyanese, Trinidadian, Indian, Pakastani

[Arkenstone]

SindarinGirl, that's too cool!
There's a guy I do stunts with who used to play
Billy The Kid.
You've seen the famous pic, with Bonnie standing in a short
stove-pipe hat holding the end of a rifle?
He posed for a pic like that.
A friend of the photographer's has an old west museum with a
copy of the two pics hanging next to each other.
He said some people don't know which is the real one...

[SindarinGirl]

lol Hmmm, Definitely related to the Saint, no one seems to care, but might be linked to the outlaw and everyone cheers..... hmmm. lol

I haven't done a lot of research into it, but there's a genealogy group that says Bonnie's one of ours. His family shortened the name at some point, so it's a link through some cousin a very long way back.
Nothing like Arkenstone's presidential relations! :thumbs:

[Cuthalion]

Why do people from the U.S: call themselves "americans" ? As far as I know America is a continent not a country. and everyone who lives in this continent is American: peruvians, argentinians, mexicans, cubans, etc. So....why?

[legolastheawesome]

hmm... maybe because the founding fathers (of the US) couldn' t think of a better name? lol lol

[Arkenstone]

Because it sounds better than 'United Statesians! :)

[legolastheawesome]

We all have our own identities too. For example, I am "New Yorkan" lol lol

[Ilmarë]

Its so interesting to find out everyone's ancestries. Me.. i'm Scots - Italian. My mum is Italian.. dad was Scottish. Born and raised here tho... and dern proud of it!!
My great grand parents were French on my mother's side and Irish on my dad's side, i believe. We're related to one of the royal families of Ireland somehow... i forget how.

[Roca Wear]

i'm related to a bishop. lol waYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY back when in italy, my grandpa was a bishop(im talkin 14 century here)

[Bonos-Girl]

whoa....thats a long way back! lol

[Bawax]

apparantly a couple of polish brothers married two of my grandads cousins, i think one was insane cause he tried to kill the other one apparantly. :huh:

[Pil]

:o *pil makes mental note not to get too close to B...* j/k hon! ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

lol....thats so weird....i have a nice...erm...*normal*...or not...family! hehe

lol thanks alot, i'm sure most people on the site have already done that anyway.;)

normal BG? i'm sure you must have a couple of unusual characters in your family, my family has me after all. ;) :grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

lol.....having you takes up the amount of strangeness usually made upo ny at least 3 people! (i know what i'm trying to say.....lol)

and maybe normal was a bit of an exageration...but after all it was kinda being compared to a set of polish twins who tried to kill each other....

[Gatsby]

my family is a bit odd... but no one's tried to kill someone else yet, we're getting there though lol

i'm related to robert fultan... the guy who invented the steam boat! my sad, sad claim to fame
out
gatsby

[Dawn Noelle]

i am irish and german
and maybe some english in there too
in doing family history it all seems to go back to germany and ireland

[Bonos-Girl]

it'd be really cool to do an enourmous family tree...but i don't have enough spare time and can't really be bothered......

[Dawn Noelle]

well, if you ever want help
i can at least point you in the right direction
as i research i have found a great deal of it done for me
it's just a matter of finding it

[Bonos-Girl]

lol...i did that thing where you type your name into a search engine and see what it comes up with...i'm apparently born in 1300's and dies sometime during 1400's or summat! roflmao

Our country's full name is the United States of America, meaning the part of the American continents (North America and South America) that are individual states united under a federal government.
Technically, yes, everyone from Canada down to Argentina could be called Americans (just as everyone from Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, China, etc. are Asians) but given how popular the US is right now, a whole bunch of folks are going to take that as an insult. ;)
The name "America" comes from Amerigo Vespucci, a Spanish- Italian explorer who made trips to the "newly discovered" lands - as they didn't count the peoples already living there. :rolleyes: In 1507, the terms "New World" and "America" were first used in the accounts of the expeditions he participated in. He also prepared navigational maps in 1508 for other expeditions originating from Spain.
Thus endeth the lesson. If anyone really cares anymore. lol

BG, you sure are lively for a 600 year old corpse! ;) lol

[Bonos-Girl]

lol.....whats really dumb is...amreica wasn't named after like, the first person to land thgere or anything like that...just some random guy....

[SindarinGirl]

Well it wasn't like they named it after some dung farmer. lol
In his day, Vespucci was a pretty accomplished explorer. Not the first, no, but one of the most dedicated. It's disputed whether he made 2 or 4 journeys - remember what travel was like in the 1500's and that is impressive.
His expeditions and maps made it possible for the English, Spanish, French and everyone else to follow 200 years later. :thumbs:

Today, he may seem like a nobody, but in 400 years, very few people will remember who Einstein was either. :(

[Ringwraith]

I'm Brazilian.

[Scarpinato]

I'm mostly Italian. My great-grandparents came here from Sicily in the early 1900s. I recently talked to my great-aunt Vincenza and she said our family came from the Province of Vallelunga, City of Caltanissetta, Sicily - or something like that :)

Anyone ever been to www.ancestry.com? It's been a very helpful site. I met one of my cousins on their message boards and managed to get a huge family tree from her.

[Daisy Gamgee]

I was born in Germany, am a British citizen, and an Australian resident....another year and I'll be eligible for citizenship so will have dual nationality with Britain and Australia. Both my parents are English, my mums an essex girl (which explains some things!!) and my dads a manc (ie from Manchester). I've never really looked back further than my great granparents.... we don't know who my grandma's father was, and there's no way of finding out.

[Bawax]

the nearest thing to an interesting nationality i can get is my gf, she's half Dominican, quarter irish and quarter swedish. its news to me, i only just found that out today. :huh:

[Bonos-Girl]

thats a very interesting mix.....how come you only found out today? lol

[Eowyn]

well as far as I know everyone in my family is british born and breed with the exception of me! I was born abroad but I'm still British and proud of it. (however quite sick of having to prove I was born!)

[Pil]

Where were you born? :p

[Bawax]

Originally posted by Bonos-Girl

lol well i knew she had some dominican in her family but i just didn't know the rest, i've only been going out with her for a about 10 weeks, i can't know it all (unusual for me i know). :)

[Bonos-Girl]

very unusual.....lol

[Eowyn]

pil I was born in......Saudi Arabia (a fact I'm trying to keep quiet at the moment!) I'm sure you understand!

[Pil]

:p Kay, but i think it's really cool! :)

[Eowyn]

it is except when i have to fill in loads of forms to prove I'm british and have lived here for years! grrr! gets annoying after a while but it makes me different so its kinda cool!

[legolastheawesome]

Being different makes you special :)

[Eowyn]

Thank you:)

OK, So I have thought about it. I guess the reason I myself would say American is because of my general overall heritage. I can trace my ancestry back to both continents...North and South. But as for other people, I suppose it's because the overall title for the US is the 'United States of America' and because of that most people forget that the emphasis should on the first half of the term and not America!! But as was posted after your post..."Statesians" does sound kinda silly...Anyway...Hope your well....;)

[Celebrían]

Well, I'm English, Scotch-Irish, and French. I wish I knew more about my ancestry. I dig that kind of stuff. Although I was pretty excited when someone on my mother's side of the family traced us back (in England) to the 1200s. I thought that was pretty cool! :thumbs:

[Eowyn]

:thumbs: sounds good!

[Alatar]

I am Australian!!! I am Irish on my mothers side and my fathers side i think i have a wee bit o English in me to i am sure:thumbs:

[Eowyn]

sounds right for australia! lol they always have interesting backgrounds :huh:

[ringbearer1]

im 1/8 irish but ithink the rest of me is english :)

[Eowyn]

cool! see interesting people with interesting backgrounds! lol

[Enelya]

1/4 German; 1/8 Irish; 1/8 Italian; 1/8 Scottish; and 1/8 something else.
isnt it funny, no American blood yet i live there:grin:

[Eowyn]

lol very diverse! Is there no-one else born......sort of in the middle east? come on I know there must be! please? grrr! I'll carry on being different on my own then!

[Alatar]

do you count yourself as an American???

[Enelya]

well i guess so:thumbs: maybe that does count

[Eowyn]

lol so whats that now! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

not many people in america can say they are pure american...unless they're native americans or summat! lol

[Celebrían]

Very interesting stuff, guys! :thumbs:

[Herenyë]

im indonesian ... but im american ... so then im asian american ... so yea ... im born in American, live in California, and is full Indonesian ... heehee ...

[Lessien Elensar]

full blood New Zealander!! :grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

lucky.....lol

I'm boring...i live a few miles (maybe a bit) more from where i was born..the only 'foreign' blood in me is Irish (which is cool...but not very 'foreign'....)

[Lessien Elensar]

well i kinda wish i was part something else just to make it more interesting........lol but if ya go a couple of generations back i think i have a lil bit of irish as well........

[Bonos-Girl]

lol...its great to be irish....associations with beer are the best bits!! lol

[Lessien Elensar]

hehe, yea i can only imagine as i haven't really found that out yet!!

[Black Rider]

ok i'm 1/2 brit on my dad's side, which includes scottish and on my mom's side i'm irish. my dad's mother is from southern england and all her ancesters are from the southeast in the little towns there. my father's father is from inverness and we can be traced there as well. and on my mom's side, her parents are dubliners (if that's a word. yeah, wasn't that a book by James Joyce?).
so out of all that i'm a redhead. there are just too few of us...

what about you?

[Melian]

My mother is 100% Norwegian, my father is half Norwegian and half Welsh and English. There are a lot of Scandanavians living up here, ya sure ya betcha.lol I have a lot of redheads in my family (my father, my sister, my brother, lots of cousins; but not me).

[Aerandir]

I'm mostly Irish, lil English, Germen, This, That....

-Aera

[Amithrellas]

Father's side is all German...my mother's side is a bit like a crazy quilt. Her mother was Scotch-Irish but there was a little Iroquois thrown in. :o Her father was French, Polish, German, Dutch and goodness knows what else....

[Tirithel]

Mutt! :o JK! JK! JK! Arent' we all...;)

I'm about all German...(i think it's my) Great Grandparents came over from Germany in the mid 1800's on my mom's side; my grandmother and all her brothers and sisters speak it fluently.

My dad's side is mostly German too, except for the introduction of some McCloud somewhere along the lines, leaving me part Scottish. And he mentioned something about some Russian once too, but I couldn't tell you any more about that.

I've been told I have a very German nose, however...lol

[Bilbo]

I'm:

German
Irish
Scottish
British
Welsh

[Cuiel Rilwen]

My parents are both norwegian...one of my great grandfathers was same...other than that no surprises...I think! One of my ancestors got beheaded for killing her husband...but no exciting history besides that!

[Ranger]

Well - I have relatives in Canada, but I'm not sure how they're related to me - great aunts or something like that. My man is 1/4 Italian, my nan was 1/2 Italian and my great nan was born in Italy - she had lots of susters but I'm not sure what happened to them because they where sent to a convent.

[Polly Sandybanks]

It's interesting how most people in the States are such a mix of everything.
That's a bit different here in Europe.

My great great grandfather (on my dad's side) was Danish, but other than that we've all been Swedes. We've mixed a little bit between different regions of Sweden though.

Personally I believe that there must be, or should be, quite a good thing to have parents from different countries, as you'd get two cultures and two languages (in most cases). Languages are always good. But sometimes the cultures are of course too different.

[Hobbit]

The parents of both my grandads were from Belgium and I believe some relatives from my grandmother were also from Belgium. So my family was from Belgium, although we live in the Netherlands for quite some time.
But I've got an australian aunt.

[Lessa]

OK lets see both my maternal great-grandparents were totally welsh but my maternal grandfather was english with a little scots thrown in. My paternal great-grandparents were irish but their boys married english girls. So to sum up I have mostly english and welsh with irish and scots making me totally British.

Lessa

[Miss Jack Sparrow]

i was born in Canada, though my mom is from Friuli (Italy), and her parents too. My dad is from Abbruzzi (Italy) same with his parents....so that makes me a sorta full Italian..i guess?

livs

[Ereinion]

I was born in Russia, and so were both of my parents...

[Aranel]

I'm 1/2 English on my dad's side (Yorkshire-born as far back as I know!)
and I'm 1/2 Polish on my mother's side - she was born in Wroclaw.

My surname is Danish. Don't ask me why... lol

[Bonos-Girl]

hmm..i swear there's another thread about this somewhere around....mayeb it wsn;t about this and just drifted off topic..i'll go look...

*edit* ok found it. it was called nationality, usual thing about checking for similar threads before posting etc.;)

[Herenyë]

Anyone else Indonesian? lol ... heehee ...

ancestry ... dutch, german, and maybe wait nevermind ... dutch and german ;)

[Evenstar]

My aunt is Indonesian, and my cousins are half indonesian, three eights english and 1 eighth welsh.
And I just realised I cant spell eighth.
As for me, I'm 7/8 english and 1/8 welsh... not that the welsh part matters, cos the only time I've ever been to Wales was on a school trip. :)

[Dwimmerlaik]

i was born in California, though my parents are from Peru, and their parents too, so that makes me full Peruvian

I'm about 3/4 British (of which mostly English) and 1/4 Scandinavian (mixtures of Swedish and Norwegian). Still 100% Canadian, though! :grin:

my family havnt been in the country long, mom's side only 4 or 5 generations and my dad I'm the first generation to be born in the country.

my dad came from holland but the family migrated after the usual wars that went on in Europe, and that was 300 or so years ago. Basically royal blood all the way on my dads side, they married alot into royalty after the country they had kindom over was conquered and intergrated (some small country in romania or something, only existed for 3 or 4 generations and they were lords of the land before it was called a country (which was probly why they got attacked by bigger kingdoms after land). lol but i dunno how pure my blood to that line is now as that was A LONG time ago going from church records. I've got a whole books of study on the family line for my dads side.

My mom's side is basically German Jew, Irish, French and British (sjees what a mix)...and nothing much important except the british part he was the governor of a part of England, a lord and had royal ties and alot of political power because of these ties. The rest i'm unsure on the history as i never asked, but dont think it will be very interesting.

My mother always claims that we're related to the Dutch royal family, but I have a hard time believing that. lol

You're not the only one Vani... All I know about my ancestors is where they came from. (And the fact that only ONE ever served in a world war... All the rest were farmers, so they didn't have to... roflmao)
