I'm 50% scottish and 50% olde English. Some of my relatives came over on the Mayflower, and I'm a direct line decendant of Miles Standish (and two convicted salem witches!=x). My mom does geneology so it's kinda cool.

Kay, if you ever decide to go to college, look for scholarships based on heritage. There are TONS out there for Cherokee Indians - 1/8 or better will most likely grant you full tuition and plus some! Cherokee Indians are so rare to find because our ancestors never told anyone about their heritage - they became ashamed of it. During the time that they forced out of their own land, lots of them just hid and never told anyone.

It's so neat to find someone 1/4 Cherokee!

My dad's folks came here from Sicily.

My mom was English. True, loyal, English all the way. When I started doing family tree research, I discovered one of HER grandparents was from Italy. He he. Shocked the socks off her.

So I am English, Italian, and Sicilian. But my coloring and tendencies are Sicilian. I got that red hot temper. I love to cook using lots of spices and herbs. My brother is English all the way. Light coloring, prefers bland food, geesh!

And for those who may wonder, Sicilians never consider themselves, Italian. :rolleyes:

my dad is 3/4 Irish, 1/4 Scottish and my mom is Finnish, however this one is debatable at exactly how much Finnish lol her father was shipped to Sweden as a baby during the war and doesnt remeber where he was actually born, but he grew up Swedish/Finnish despite not being born as such so that is what we call him :p

My dad is Irish, English & Acadian.
My mother is French & Matee (sp? when a french person & an american indian have a kid).

I have the shortness of my great grandmother (pure american indian), apparently almost the same kind of eyes & jaw... But I'm more like my dads family & proud of that.
