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

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...
I only have Belgian beer in my veins.
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.
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...
German/Irish/Scottish
All the terdditional enemies of England: Scotland, France and IrelandQuote:

But I'm 100% Canadian! ~:smoking:
American mutt, with a lot of the British Isles as a backdrop (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc.).
:portugal: :norway: :spain: :england: yet somehow wound up a Virginian with :australia: citizenship but at the end of the day, 100% :unitedstates:.
English and a lot of early Australian blood (Which is still English, but whatever). I also am 1/8 Hungarian.
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)
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:
My great-great grandmother =:gibraltar: Her Husband =:scotland: They had kids born in = :england: (my grandads mother) After that all the family were born in =:england:
Except my kids and grandkids who were born in https://img442.imageshack.us/img442/2963/gbenysai4.gif
:beam:
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...
:england: :germany: :austria:
'Tis true, I am more German than English.
As for as I know it's limited to :netherlands: and :unitedstates:
:balloon2:
100% Human.:balloon2:
As far as I know, only Dutch. And 50% Frysian :balloon2:
As a Belgian, I am the bastard child of every foreign invader that ever set foot on our soil.
:scotland: = 75% (half highland, half lowland [west, Red Clydeside], but Norman name?!?!)
:northernireland: = 25%
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.
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?
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...
75% french,
25% italian
I am 100% Chinese :beam:
Northern Irish, but if you go back far enough to the plantation Scottish, and if you go further back a bit more you get back to Ulster.
100% Japanese.
Nah...I wish...At least I would have had good grades on maths. ~;)
Another 100% chinese here!
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.
my nationality is dutch
my blood is partly dutch partly guinean (africa)
Hoy, PiNoY PriDe!!!!!!
100% Filipino
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.
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.
My mother is from India and my father has English and German blood.
Basically in a symplistic way.
1/4 Hungarian German-thats blue blood mate!
1/4 Hungarian Magyar-Thats blue colar blood!
the other half is odd.
About a third Scottish the rest some odd Anglo-French thing, originating in Kent and Lorraine, respectivley.
Well, I am 100% Frankish. I guess there is some from the Alemanni, maybe some Celtic and Roman, too. Huns? Who knows!
Filipino national here! With a small fraction Spanish blood.
No danish blood then? :laugh4:Quote:

While I have more Scandanavian blood than not, I'm still a regular American mutt. ~;) On my mom's side, I'm mostly Norwegian with a dash of Swedish thrown in. On my dad's side, I'm equal parts Danish, English, German, & Irish. So my overall make-up is:
46.875% Norwegian
3.125% Swedish
12.5% Irish
12.5% English
12.5% Danish
12.5% German
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.Quote:

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, anywayQuote:
