What is your heritage?

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

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

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:

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..

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.

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

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!

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.....
