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.

Wow, everyone is more mixed than i thought! I'm a mix of Welsh from my grandad. My mum is from Nottingham and my Dad is from Oxford. But me, i feel 100% Lancastrian

50% Italian & 50% Mutt = Gina!

italian - father, also 2% cherokee
mutt - mother = scottish, german, british, irish .....
and of course, golden retriever! (true, I love catching balls, rolling or having a ball!)

everyone says I look like a mexican..

until they see my surname - completely italian!

All Sicilian.

But I am mistaken for Irish.

I have fair skin (freckled face-red hair-dyed),
but my hands/legs are olive skin. Plus green eyes.

I have been told I'm a 'throwback' to another fair skinned relative from 1900's named:
Gussamina.
