As a Belgian, I am the bastard child of every foreign invader that ever set foot on our soil.

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...
Part of my family is from Silesia so some Polish blood is almost certain.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
