What are you?

So, I went into the city tonight and there are tons of tourists not just from this country but from out of the country as well. Then, I came home and turned on the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and it got me thinking...what nationality/nationalities are everyone made up of? Me, i'm Italian (dad is 100%, biological grandfather still lives in Italy) as well as Irish, German, Scottish, French (and that's all we've traced...my mom's side is very confusing). What about you?

Dad's side- English 100%

Mom's side- Scotch-Irish 100%

I'm boring.

I am 50% Italian; the rest is German, English, and Irish, about equal parts.

WelshWitchPMD · #4 08-13-2004, 10:49 PM

Italian on my Father's side and my Mom was Irish.

Turkish & Cuban on my mother's side. My dad's side gets a bit complicated.

I'm sure there's more to it than what I know, but I know my Mom's side is mostly English, while my Dad's is mostly French and Native American.

Very cool though. Do you still have family elsewhere?

I'm an American Mutt, predominately English and Irish if you look back far enough, some native American, along with a few scoundrals. Some of my American ancestors date back prior to colonial times.

My great grandparents on my dad's side came over from Germany, and I don't know how far back my family on my mom's side came over, but they are German, too. So, I guess I'm an AMERICAN with at little bit of German in me.

I'm Belgian, English, French, and Canadian.

That subject line cracked me up!

I have Italian, Irish, German and Cherokee Indian blood in me...and that's just what I know of. There could be more. LOL

Seriously, I need to do some genealogy searching because I am really interested in my Cherokee heritage.
