[Oggyflute]

I was born in England, but am quite Australianised now.:D

[wolfsoul]

I'm a mutt lol. Obviously I can't know everything I am, but here are the things I DO know. On my mom's side I'm English, Scottis, Irish, and Danish. On my dad's side I'm Romanian, German, and Polish.

[Lady's Human]

Northern European Mutt, with a good helping of French Canuck thrown in, and a few other bloodlines mixed in for good measure.

[Karen]

Lady's Human is my brother - to get more specific, we're (don't try saying this all in one breath): Swedish, English, French Canadian, a bit of Micmac, Norman French (Grandma Smith made that distinction), with some Irish, Scottish, smidges of German, Bavarian, and who-knows-what-else!

[kuhio98]

Heinze 57 - 100% American
English, Cherokee, Irish, African
Somehow that added up to pale skin, brown hair and green eyes :confused: Aren't genetics wild?

[slick]

I was born in Canada.
Dad's side is English and Irish.
Mom's side is English, Irish and Scottish.

[Uabassoon]

Hispanic. My mothers side of the family is very Spanish though, they traveled to Mexico in the late 1500s or early 1600. I get my dark skin from my father so I'm assuming his side of the family is a mix of spanish and either mayan or aztec.

[Kfamr]

Mostly German, Cherokee, and Irish.

[kimboe]

I'm mostly Dene/Chipewyan (native) and English.

[captain]

Australian Born,
South African raised,
by a Scottish father and a German Mother!!!! :D

[Glacier]

If you asked me that, I'd say I'm Canadian at first, but if you go a wee bit farther back, I am a Dane.

My husband is part Scottish and part Cree.

[Barbara]

German with a low percentage of French:)

[jennifert9]

Mom is 100% Irish and Dad is 100% French Canadian. Mom has the green eyes and red hair and Dad has the dark skin and black hair to prove it....
Me? I look nothing like either one of them!!! Go figure!!:rolleyes: :p ;)

[LKPike]

another "mutt" right here! :p my family is german, french, french-canadian, and last - american. I claim mostly german, just where I'm comfortable :p

but my grandmother and uncle still carrys the french last name :)

[LorraineO]

I come from Scots and English,,, My 6 generation back great uncle is buried in the floor of New Westminister Abbey,, He was an ArchBishop of Canterbury... my moms side of the family were of pirates and rogues,, tracking thier side was harder as they had to change their last name to several different variations ot avoid the law.....
HOW the two sides met up,, I will never know!!! lol lol

[cali]

lets see, I have a little scottish, but almost entirly irish on my dads side, and my moms side is almost entirly finnish, but my grandpa is considered swedish, he was shipped to sweden as a young kid during the war, so he has no idea what he was born, but he was raised swedish lol my mom was born in finland though so I am pretty much 50% finnish, 40% Irish, 10% scottish, 1% swedish, and 100% canadian lol

[Samantha Puppy]

My ancestors were Scottish, English, French, German.

My mother has a portion of her family traced all the way back to Robert the Bruce in Scotland... one of our direct ancestors married Robert the Bruce's daughters... so *technically*, I'm royalty. ;) When I was over in Scotland, I went to the cathedral in Paisely and saw my ancestors name on the geneaology tapestry. It was pretty cool.

[KYS]

Mostly Ukrain (part of Russia back than) possibly a little English and if you go far enough back Mongolian.

[IRescue452]

Oh boy I know almost all of it and who it came from in our family tree, but its definatly a large mix. 1/2 Blackfoot, and a small bit of Winnebago and Oneida Native American heritage, French, and a sliver of each of the following- Irish, Belgian, Scottish, and a bit of German that I like to leave out. There'd be more if they were in direct bloodlines to me.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

100% all American mutt. The biggest percentage is English (if I'm not mistaken), but I have a little bit of everything mixed in.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Wow, so many mutts here ;) :D

I am 100% Belgian (I should even say 100% Flemish :) ).

[caseysmom]

I am half german, my grandmother immigrated, my mothers side is half irish and the other half I can't remember.

[catnapper]

I'm a mutt through and through. I am French, German, Scottish, Irish and American Indian.

[CalliesMom]

I'm 3/4 Irish and 1/4 Cuban...interesting mixture. ;)

[dukedogsmom]

I really don't know too much other than I've got German and Cherokee Indian. Also, I'm related to Jesse James. He was my dad's (don't know how many greats) uncle.

[elizabethann]

All my Grandparents were from Poland. So I guess I'm Polish American????

:D

[Edwina's Secretary]

My father's parents came from Slovenia. My mother's family has been in this country since before the Revolutionary War -- so we can say...Northern European for that side?

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Let's see...I'm about 1/4 German, 1/4 French, 1/16 Potawatomie Indian (;)), about 1/8 Irish, and all the rest under "other" is various. So I'm all mutt too!;) (unlike my dog........) lol:D

[Fox-Gal]

My Father's family came over with the Mayflower and my mothers family was 1/2 Scotch 1/2 Irish. So that makes me a mutt.

[manda_moo87]

I think I'm 1/2 Danish, 1/4 Dutch and 1/4 English.

[k9krazee]

My mom's side came from Denmark and my dad's from Germany with a little of everything mixed in...I am a Mutt!

[primabella]

Italian, mostly. My dad may have some Spanish in him though. :)

[carole]

I am a full blooded Scot,(no bitzer here lol) living in Kiwiland all my life bar six months, but my heritage is very important to me and I was brought up very much with the Scottish Dialect, music,sayings, etc etc.:)

[QueenScoopalot]

I have descendents from the Mayflower as well...and am English, Irish, French, Swedish, Scottish, and one other ingredient that I can't recall. :o Another all American Mutt! :D

[animal_rescue]

I don't know about percentages but I do know that I have a lot of Mexican and Italian other than that I'm not sure...
My friends and I refer to ourselves as half breeds :p

[Oggyflute]

I notice a few people mention the Mayflower. It's funny but only recently have Australians felt comfortable with mentioning that they were related to a First Fleeter, the majority of the First Fleet being convicts of course. People would deny their heritage with their dyinbg breath that admit they were related to a convict. Some of those very same convicts not only became pillars of society, but helped shaped the country to what it is today, and fortunately I feel, nowadays people wear there "First Fleet convict" tag very proudly. History can be a facsinating thing. Our familys ultimate ancestor (as far back as we've been able to go) was eventually beheaded by the Duke of Cumberland, for fighting alongside the Jacobites. He had his head stuck on a pike evidently.:eek:

[CountryWolf07]

Mostly Italian, Irish, German, and British...

My grandpa is Italian.. his parents came here in the 1900s from Italy.. my grandma was Irish.. so her parents came from Ireland.. I think it's pretty cool that I'm part Irish.. cause I would LOVE to visit Ireland someday, Italy too as well. :)

On my dad's side, a relative fought in the Civil War - as one of the Ohio Volunteers.. So I'm thinking my dad's side has been here since the 1800s..

[momcat]

On my father's side, my grandfather was Irish and my grandmother was born and grew up in Dundee, Scotland.

As for Mom's side of the family, I'm second generation from Poland.

[wolflady]

Interesting thread! I think geneology is so interesting.

I'm a typical Heinz 57.

My dad's side of the family is 1/2 German and 1/2 Luxembourg

My mom's side of the family is: Irish, Italian, Dutch, French and German

so that makes me.....100% Heinz 57 American! :p

[davidpizzica]

I'm a half & half. interesting combo, though! On my father's side I'm Italian, and on my mother's side I'm Lithuanian!

[beeniesmom]

Well both my folks are Italian and all 4 of my grandparents are Italian.....
I was born in the States....
What does that make me?
I guess italian/american.
Mangia mangia.....
