    For some reason this has always been a topic that interests me lol. In order of prominence, I'm Italian, French, Austrian, German, and then about 5% is Haitian and Native American :slight_smile: also got roots in Canada, but purely because my grandma lived there (and so did my mom and I for a year). How about you? :slight_smile:

    Very complex thanks to being able to trace my ancestry to the fall of Western Rome, but I just put myself down as Finnish and Anglo-Irish.

    French, on my mother's side, is the predominant one, with some Native American (Cherokee, I think). My maternal grandfather's side, is predominantly Dutch and German. There's speculation, we have a bit of Slavic in there, as well. My father's side, I believe, is English and Irish. Maybe a tad of Scottish, too.

    Basically, according to stereotypes, I'm quick to surrender, I like drugs, I'm a Nazi, I have bad teeth, and I'm a drunk. Sounds quite lovely, doesn't it?

    If we want to get extremely technical, I suppose, I'm also African. Cradle of Civilization, you know, LOL.

    That's cool...:sunglasses:

    My mom told me that I'm 100% hatian but then she told me she had a stepdad who was white...maybe I was hearing things I don't know.

    German, Irish, and Slovenian mainly.

    My last name is German and my dad's ancestry is mostly German with some Irish in there, and his ancestors go back in the U.S. to the 18th century. My mom's ancestry is mostly Slovenian (my maternal grandmother lives in Slovenia and does not speak English). I usually tell people I'm 1/4 German, 1/4 Irish, and 1/2 Slovenian.

    My father's family comes from the south of Europe. 2 of my great-grandparents were from Portugal, one was from Spain and another from Italy.
    My mother's family, on the other hand, has been in Brazil way longer, more than I even know. So it's probably Portuguese mixed with native South American.
    I just consider myself Brazilian.

    English, German, Scottish, French, and maybe some Native American (The Native American heritage is questionable since my dad's side of the family has a bad habit of lying.)

    On my mother's side I'm about equal parts French and Irish. My father's side of the family is mainly German with a bit of Afrikaner (both Dutch and German descent).

    My main aspect of my heritage is my German side and being that my ancestors were English, and I'm African just like everyone else is (since humanity began in Africa).

    Native American (Cree), Irish/Scottish (We aren't completely sure if it is both or one or the other), African-American (I don't know the specifics), Cuban, - that's all I know.
