Thread: Where are your ancestors from?

    Where are your ancestors from?

    Mine are from Italy, Ireland, England, and Spain.

    Sorry I could only list continents - you can't have that many choices for polls!


    edit: oh, I forgot, Swedish too!

    My family hasn't kept the best records so I'm not entirely sure about my background. I think my family has been in America too long! Heehee. Anyway, I've been told that I'm some mixture of Scotch-Irish, German, English, Dutch, Welsh and French Huguenot. Here in Hawaii everyone just calls me "haole" though!


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    Shoot, shoot, shoot...

    Mainly Europe: Ireland, England, Germany, the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, and Norway (I think...) mainly but there's a bit of Cherokee in my background too. The reason I was upset with myself was that there's also a great-great-great-great-grandmother from Brazil that I forgot when I was checking things off on the poll. My memory stinks! Sorry.

    I'm just a mutt....

    German, Scottish, Irish, and Cherokee. I'm sure there's lots of other things thrown in there.

    Amber - for some reason, you seem like you would be Irish! Lol maybe it's just that Elvis reminds me of that...never really thought about it before though.

    I'm Ukranian...some German and Polish also I think.

    -thank you Poppy for the avatar.
