Is this serious and true? If so, it forces to think you make quite an interesting specimen.

It is completely serious. My family has a long history of moving a lot.

[Stig]

Dutch



and mostlikely loads of German in the 18th-19th century :furious3:

[Strike For The South]

:england:
:france:
:italy:

[Orb]

English. English. More English. Probably some :scotland: that I refuse to acknowledge.

Quid

[Motep]

[Bijo]

Excellent. More should do this and mix with each other, all over the world.

[Fwapper]

I feel like going into some detail...

I have some Scot in me - my great, great uncle was Provest of Dumfries.

A good bit of Englishman - My great, great, great, great, great grandfather was 'Sir Eliab Hardy' who was Admiral of the Temeraire (as in the fighting Temeraire by Turner) and fought beside Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar :)

A little bit more Englishman... - My (lots and lots of greats) grandfather was William Harvey, who discovered circulation of the blood and was King Charles the First's physician.

Probably some Welsh, as I have a Welsh surname.

And no Irish so far as I know.


...and yet here I am, sitting a house in dingy Aberdeen, and not in a great estate somewhere in England :P -My family seems to have a big tradition of losing large amounts of money before their children can inherit it. Eliab Hardy lost a fortune gambling, and my Great, great uncle lost a massive estate and mansion because he didn't have any sons. Stupid 19th Century sexism...

[Andres]

I only have Belgian beer in my veins.

[Warluster]

Most of all I'm a Aussie!

I am part Irish and English as well. Also a bit of Scottish.

But I am most proud of being AUssie and Irish.

[Husar]

Depends, my maternal grandma came from eastern prussia, so that's german, my dad's family is from the Netherlands but they may have german roots, so...

[Lemur]

American mutt, with a lot of the British Isles as a backdrop (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc.).

I can trace my English relatives back to a man who lived in 1208, some peasant. ~D

As for as I know, I don't have anything else than good old inbred norwegian blood in me.

Not too surprising though, as I'm extremely blonde, and my eyes are blue...

[King Henry V]

[I of the Storm]

Mostly German. Some French is in there too, from a Lieutenant de la Grande Armée, who liked to stay in that village with my Great...grandmother rather than moving to Leipzig and Waterloo...:laugh4:
Part of my family is from Silesia so some Polish blood is almost certain.

[Subedei]

1/8 Polish, 1/8 Hungarian, 6/8 Bavarian. Descendant of a Merc the 30 Years war, if my aunt told me the truth. Nasty ancestors I got there....what can U do?

[SwordsMaster]

Well, in the previous 2 generations (i.e. gradparents level) and counting in nowadays political boundaries, I have:

Spanish, Russian, Polish, German, Ukranian and Kazakh

Apparently the Russian line goes back to some Leib Guard officer who mutinied in 1825 and was sent off to Siberia...

[Caerfanan]

75% french,
25% italian

[TevashSzat]

Nah...I wish...At least I would have had good grades on maths. ~;)

[shlin28]

[Conradus]

Mostly Belgian, but some Dutch blood as wel, and I should be able to go back to French blood too, otherwise I don't know how I ever got my name.

Ow and since I'm Belgian, there must be some German, Austrian, Spanish, ... blood in there too, we were occupied quite some time.

[The Stranger]

I dunno what other ethnicities may run through my veins as the vast majority are mixed because of ancestry; Spanish or Chinese.

And I was born in America, but; my parents are both full filipino/filipina.

[Togakure]

50% Japanese. The other half is predominantly Irish (surname is Sheridan), with a good dose of Dutch. Mom was a native of Sapporo. Pops' side of the family has been here in America since before the American Revolution.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

My mother is from India and my father has English and German blood.

[Incongruous]

Basically in a symplistic way.
1/4 Hungarian German-thats blue blood mate!

About a third Scottish the rest some odd Anglo-French thing, originating in Kent and Lorraine, respectivley.

12.5% German


:portugal: :norway: :spain: :england: yet somehow wound up a Virginian with :australia: citizenship but at the end of the day, 100% :unitedstates:.
How did that happen anyway? Did you marry an Aussie citizen? I've never been very clear on where you're from or where you currently live.

[Fwapper]

Wow... knowing your Norwegianess to five significant figures is rather impressive.

*impressed look*

[Proletariat]

How did that happen anyway? Did you marry an Aussie citizen? I've never been very clear on where you're from or where you currently live.

Nah, didn't marry a cousin. :/ My Mom's family lived in Sydney when she met my American Dad who was working there. They got married and moved back to the States, I was born there, but my Mom still had Aussie citizenship (although she was actually born in England, but whatever) so I got dual citizenship from her. That's the short version, anyway
