Ethnic makeup

1/8 Scottish, A crazy Scottish great-grandad claimed he was a descendent of Livingston, the one who got lost in Africa.
One of my uncles made a group of Germans believe he was the Prince of Galway, that he lived in a big house in Scotland and had a seat in the House of Lords, of course there is no Prince of Galway. He works in Albania, where most people believe he is a descendent of King Zog (not sure if that is the correct name), last king of Albania.
1/4 German.
All the rest English, possibly Norman, but there no way to tell.

I figure about 10%Welsh 15%Scottish 15%Irish 10%English 5%French 40% Saxon(from Saxony) and 5%Hungarian

*Note there is unfounded Stories of an American Indian Somewhere in the Family... I think like some of the others, people and government in England frowned on them.

Bunch of halfbloods. ~;)

100% German, mostly from North Germany and Prussian regions.

From what i know, i'm 95% English. I think my family hails from Ireland, so i have a bit of Irish blood in me.

Western European -- Don't bother muchb more than that, really, since it is such a stew of everything... largest part is 3/8 German, though.

i dont know the percentages but here they are

english
french
russian
german
irish
hungarian
sioux (native american tribe)
black foot(different tribe)
polish

i am a mutt :embarassed:

100% Brabantine,

or Mostly Brabantine and a bit of Hollandic,

or some Frankish, some Frisian,

or some Batavian, some Menapian, some Eburon, etc.

Pretty much totally Dutch.

Damn you, go brew me some beer and shoo! ~D

Let's see here... what was the figure? Ah yes.

75% Frankish. This amounts to 37.5% Batavian/Caninefatic (Dutch Germanic tribes who joined the Frankish confederation during the Great Migrations) and 37.5% French nobility from Tours or Toulouse (don't remember, must consult my uncle, who is well-versed in these matters... and retrieve my family weapon for engraving on a seal ring ~;)).

25% Ashkenazim. Ashkenazim are the Jews from the eastern European diaspora, and in this case the Tsherta in Poland-Lithuania. My Jewish great-great-grandfather came to Groningen from Poland on his cart. ~:)

All this amounts to... well, what, really? Born on Curaçao, raised by Dutch parents on Aruba, I'm more cosmopolitan than Dutch (which is not cosmopolitan at all, although Dutchmen are deluded and think so). But my heart is in Aruba.



~Wiz

Ulster scot 100% (aS far as i know back to my Great great grandparents but i think they are the same as well)

Does being 90% Bavarian and 10% Bradenburger make me a halfblood?

4/8 congo, 3/8 vai, 1/8 bassa. with smatterings of arab, jew, and irish from over 2 centuries ago.

Care to elaborate on that, nokhor? Congo, as in the countries/river basin?

evil_maniac from mars: No, not as far as I know. Now, if you were half Prussian... ~;)

Family names: LaRoque and Frederick= French and German :scastle:

Mostly french and a tiny drop of Mic-Mac(native american). My ancester came straight from Normandie more than 300 years ago. Got the native blood from my mom side, but its 5 generation away. But i am definitly Canadian and a citizen of the World.

*edit fred same first name than me, i am a Frederick too ~:cheers:

100% English

~:cheers:

I encapsulate England's eternal enemy.

Mostly Scottish and Irish with some French and German.

hehehe

I'm a Heinz 57.
Mostly Ukranian, Scottish, English.
All Canuck though!

I'm a Celtic cocktail (3 oz.) with a splash of German (1 oz.)

11/16 - English
2/16 - Scottish
1/16 - Irish
1/16 - Welsh
1/16 - French

Good thread! ~D

Mostly British (Scottish, Irish, English), with a healthy dose of German and splashes of Russian, French and other assorted Euro nationalities. Typical American from a southern family.

98% Northern Chinese
2% Genghis Khan

:charge::charge::iloveyou::charge::charge::charge::charge::charge:

100% norwegian
