87,5% Finnish. 12,5% comes from a shady Russian salesman who sometimes crossed the border for the good old "in-and-out" game. This should explain the content of most of my posts.

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?
My mom is 1/2 Italian, My dad is 1/2 Italian. My great grandpa on Dad's side was Sicilian, his wife from Northern Italy. Great Grandpa on Mom's side was Sicilian, his wife from Northern Italy.
My dad is also 1/2 English/Irish/Scottish
My mom is also 1/2 French/Native American
I am 1/2 Italian, 1/4 Eng/Irish/Scott, 1/4 French/Native American

Um, unless your Maori, if you're australian, aren't you probably English/Irish/Scottish? I mean, Australia was settled, It didn't have an indiginous white population, right?

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.

Very cool though. Do you still have family elsewhere?
