    My Mom was born in Ireland, and my whole Mom's side is from there.

    My Dad is Ukranian.

    I have to brag...

    Nontechnically speaking, I am royalty. My great-great grandpa was a Duke in Denmark during WWII. He left because he feared for his life - and fled to Canada. The Germans wanted him to return, or his son - but he refused. Eventually, that part of Denmark was taken over and is no longer Denmark.

    Irish & German on my mom's side and Scottish and French on my dad's.

    My grandparents (on my mom's side) have actually visited some relatives in Ireland and Germany.

    My dad's side of the family is mostly German and my mom's side is mostly Scottish. Sadly with the passing of my grandmother last month the only people left from my mom's side are my mom, my brother, and myself. I'm the last of the blue eyed blonde haired children that can trace back to our Scottish ancestors. There's plenty of relatives left on my dad's side though

    My mom's parents were both Ukranian.

    Then, on my dad's side:

    My grandmother's mom was Italian, and her dad was Spanish (Catalan, to be more specific)

    My grandfather's mom was native, from a tribe that lived in Argentina (I'm not sure if she was totally native or if she had a bit of european blood, though). His dad was Spanish, from the Basque Country.

    So, as most argentinians, I'm a mutt
