    When people ask I usually say hispanic. My mom's side of the family is Spanish and came to the U.S. several hundred years ago and settled into the area where my family still lives in South Texas. As far as I know my dads family is all from Mexico but I'm sure that is a mix of Spanish and those who were native to Mexico. However my skin and features look much more Mexican as I'm dark skinned.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    My great great grandpa was a duke of Denmark just before WW2 broke out. He fled to Canada because the Germans were going to kill him. The part of Denmark he ruled is now a part of Germany.

    So I'm Irish (my Mom was born there), Ukranian, German/Danish, and Canadian.

    What do you mean? Are you from the Netherlands or Belgium then??

    I am 100% Belgian, although I prefer to say 100% Flemish (Flanders is the Dutch speaking part of Belgium: everybody speaks Flemish (= Dutch!) here.

    Mum's side - English & Welsh.
    Dad's side - no idea, not even who he was.
    So I am a true mutt and could be a mixture of any nationality.

    For some reason, as I was conceived just after the war ended, I have always hoped my dad was one of the Americans who were stationed over here at that time... silly, huh.
