Post What's Your Heritage!?
on: September 01, 2008 08:54
I've seen a few threads that ask specific questions like "Are You Scottish?" "What About African?" and what not.
So I decided to make one that asks what your entire heritage is. (If you know)

So here's mine...

Dad's side:
Puerto Rican (He was born on the island)
Taino (Natives who lived on Puerto Rico and other islands before the Spanish came)
French (very small amount)

Moms side:
Irish
Scottish
English
German
Cherokee (Or Apache, we're not entirely sure)
Norweigan

well i dont know exactly, but i do know some.

i know my mom has German, for my great-grandfather was full-blooded German. and i think she has Irish.

and my Dad's side has Scottish and Irish in it. hence why my dad's side has lots of red hair (and me too!).

and i know i have some English in me too, but i dont know where that came from.

adn that is all i know about. prolly more, i just dont know!

hmm well, according to mom, from my fathers side, swiss, and moms side italian, both many generations back though. Mom does have a bit of the olive coloured skin though, and the dark hair (well, used to, now she's as gray as erm ash, or something )

And I'm an extreme pasta and pizza eater, I blame the italian blood in me

Mostly Scots, with quite a bit of English, and probably some Irish too. My mother has speculated that we also might have some Spanish in us (it's something to do with the Armada, that's all I picked up). We're not sure about everything, though - we don't know much about my maternal grandfather's family, for example, so who knows what I might have in me? (Though I suppose that's true of everyone, isn't it. If you go far enough back you'll probably find that you've got relatives in every country.)

Father's side: Canadian of Scottish descent, English, Irish.
Mother's side: Australian, Scottish, Irish, French.

It was interesting growing up because each of my grandparents had a very different accent: West Canadian, London, Australian, and Ukranian (my biological grandfather was also Australian, but he died and my grandmother remarried a Ukranian man before I was born).

Mainly Irish =D Irish family name, reddish/orange/blond ish hair (although black hair and pale skin is more of the "ancient Irish/gaelic look") and Irish looks (I suppose xD).
That's my dad's side--my grandmother there is scottish though (ancestors in Orkney). My mom's side is British (related to King Henry the 8th--great, I get the nuttiest king in history for a grandfather x_x) with a little Swiss.

Oh, I don't know... compared to Richard II, Henry VIII was practically normal.

I've got German on both sides, so that's the largest percentage. Beyond that it becomes a hodge-podge of other European descents--English, Welsh, Scots (descended from Rob Roy), French, and possibly others. The only other thing we know and that is worth mentioning is that I'm either 1/8 or 1/4 Delaware Cherokee.

My family is:
Irish
German
Cajun (Akkadian)
English

My family is what I would call Black Irish on my Mom's side (i.e. Dark dark hair and very pale skin.) Me on the other hand, I am a redhead (or so people tell me, my hair is auburn). Only like two people in my family have coloring like me. Even my brother has dark almost black hair. Hmmm I guess that makes me an anomally.

Swiss and German, almost exclusively.

though there is some English in there somewhere, my mom's dad's fambly came over sometime when they were "settling the new world" as we were called then.

and my dad's family came from Germany post WWI, pre WWII since they didn't feel much like being shipped to a camp or becoming nazis... this was when my Granddad was still ickle.

and my mom came from Switzerland...
sadly though, I only speak English b/c my mom speaks German, Italian, French, and English and my dad only speaks English and Spanish (despite the whole actually being German thing)....

so they only knew English together. And then I went off and married me a Brit. And now we live in the middle of nowhere while he finishes school to become a rocket scientist.

Just from genealogy, all I know so far is that I have English and Scottish on both sides. (I am adopted by my maternal grandparents, I consider my biological mother my sister. Twisted, huh?)

However, my biological father's ancestry still remains to be found because I can't get a finger on his information. Boo hiss! Oh well, hopefully in time.
