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

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

Re: the nationality thread
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...

Re: the nationality thread
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.

Re: the nationality thread
British, Norwegian, and American. (My Mother's American roots go back hundreds of years apparently.)
But I'm 100% Canadian! ~:smoking:

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

Re: the nationality thread
English and a lot of early Australian blood (Which is still English, but whatever). I also am 1/8 Hungarian.
-
Re: the nationality thread
50% Italian (From a small farming village over the mountains near Naples)
25% German (Dresden)
12.5% Irish (No Clue Unforunately)
12.5% Welsh (Again, No Clue Unforunately)

Re: the nationality thread
Mostly :england:, :ireland: and :spain:. But also :wales:, :portugal:, :germany:, :southafrica: and :namibia:.
I can trace my English relatives back to a man who lived in 1208, some peasant. ~D
Edit: I'm not African though. Just my family were crazy settlers. :shrug:

Re: the nationality thread
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...
