Nationalities
 

Well, I haven't been around for that long, but where are you from? I reckon most of you are American, perhaps? I'm from Sweden, which isn't exactly the best place for a FM fan to be, can't say I ever come across many people who even actually know about FM or Stevie!

A lot are american, but if you ask us our nationalities we will say something else, anyway... :p :laugh:
you know "i'm Italian and Irish" etc... :rolleyes:

That's what I was going to say before I read the first post!
I'm from the USA btw :D

~*~Becky~*~

Oooh hehe. :D Didn't think about that! Well you are free to tell me everything about your heritage, family's history and current residence!

Well....
 

I'm Cherokee, Irish & German...And Idiotic, Thus I am an American :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

1/2 italian, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 french/native american.
I live in Oakland, CA. I grew up in Northern California.
boring, no? :laugh:

1/4 Italian, 1/4 German, and then there's some Polish, Austrian, Native American and everything else thrown in.

I don't know the percentages or whatever - but I'm part Mexican, Spanish, Native American and God only knows what else...:D

I am, however, an American - my family has been here since well a long time - I think it was a border crossed them they didn't cross the border type thing...:shrug:

But up here I've had about five people tell me how wonderful my English is considering I'm from Mexico :rolleyes:

1/2 Italian, the rest German and Irish. 23 yrs old, St. Louis, MO. THere ya go!

~*~becky~*~

German/Scottish/English descent. Raised in Louisiana.

Ha! First non-American checking in. I'm Dutch. Dutch, and Dutch. Err.. well, tiny bit of German in there, 8 or 10 generations back.

Hah. At least you get the odd album on the charts every now and then. Finland doesn't get even that. :p

Irish....minus the red hair and freckles. :wavey: I have hints of German in me, too

Moi! :wavey:

On the charts? Perhaps around number #500 or so... :p

I'm from Austria.. well, Vienna.. not a good place to be a FM fan either.. *sigh*

Nevertheless, Just a beautiful, beautiful place from what i've heard and seen. On the top of my vacation list, and i don't like cold places without water to swim in!!! :D

Heheh :D Well.. Vienna is pretty cool.. but I dont like the rest of Austria.. dunno why.. :shrug: I'd LOVE to go to America..

I was born in Manhattan.
My mom's ethnic background is primarily Germanic, ancestors from the Essen area. Also, one
of my Great-great grandfathers was Belgium's ambassador to Ceylon and one of my Great-great grandmothers came from Switzerland. All those folk are from my mother's father's line... My mother's mother's line is American "Old" German...with a drop of Welsh blood - Mayflower Welsh blood. I too, can be a member of that "wonderful" organization Daugher's of the American Revolution.
My father's ethnic background is primarily Slavic. Granny's people came from the Minsk area
(present day Belarus. However, one of her mother's great grandmother's came from Siracusa Sicily. I am therefore 1/64 Sicilian :) Gramps' people were what was known as Rusyn/Ruthenian/Galician what some refer to today as Ukranian.
I consider myself to be 1/2 German 1/2 Slavic with a few drops of Celtic/Latin blood for spice:)

Re:
 

Waving my little maple leaf from Canada!

1/2 Irish, 1/2 French Canadian.

Another non-American reporting, 100% Italian. :nod:

Same here, but to show our appreciation to US music, we got Ashlee Simpson in the top 50 :rolleyes:

Romy

Damn you!!!! *shakes fist* :lol: :laugh: :lol:
Not your fault, obviously... :D

Yeah I know... MTV is heavily promoting her, and has also brightly started to air The Newlyweds dubbed in Italian. Simpson family (the evil one) is invading us. :mad: ;)

Romy

Sorry about that! :sorry: :laugh: :p :wavey:

Well then..
 

Whenever I hear of Austria I think of three things - Mozart,The Sound of Music (I know, I'm like TOO corny, it was one of my favorite flicks as a youngen) and Ahnold;)
Do you ski?

OOOH. Finland! I had a penpal from Finland when I was young.

Hyvaa iltaa. Mita kuuluu? Nimeni on Seeker007.

Well well...ethnicity is the question right? k.

1/2 Mexican (a lot of mexican indian as well)
1/4 Spansih
all the rest is made up of: welsh, swedish, english

A little German, Russian, and French Canadian.

1/2 Italian; the rest English, Irish, and German

Uh, Arnold.. such a shame for Austria. :shocked:

Hehe.. well, I went skiing once... with school. :rolleyes:

I was born and raised in America...Omaha, NE to be exact. My dad (also born and raised in NE) is Basque and Native Mexican and my mom (born in Idaho and moved to Omaha at age 12) is German, Irish, Scottish, and Natvie American.

So that's makes me a mutt.

Hejsan!

Incorrect about those charts, I think. http://www.fmlegacy.com/charts/SWEcharts.html

Face it, the worst FM have ever had it in Europe is Finland. :p

Romy, oh Romy, have you forgotten the gigantic three shows that the Time line-up played over there. ;)

That's very good. :) Well, sparing the silly umlauts and all.

heritage
 

Irish/German mostly, with a smattering of English/Scot/Danish/Dutch
one thing I noticed was the number of people who are Irish or German or both~

Born in Oakland, raised in the Bay Area until 25 then moved to the mountains east of Chico.

I am half Italian and half Irish. Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, USA and I am still here.

I'm plain straight English.

I'm some percentage Irish from many generations back so I'm told but I have no idea how much..
