I'm just curious, what's everyone's nationality? Meaning where your ancestors are from and what you're made up of. As for me, I'm about 75% Italian about 25% Swedish.

What about you guys?

jazzrawr · 14th Oct 2008, 04:15 PM

I don't know any percents, but I'm Dutch, British and German.
And Canadian, of course.

Swamp56 · 14th Oct 2008, 04:16 PM

Hmmm

75% Irish
12.5% English
12.5% Italian

I look Irish and have a VERY Irish name, so I typically say "Irish" when someone asks me :P .

SwissBoy88 · 14th Oct 2008, 04:20 PM

25% Italian 75% Swiss

Apocalypte · 14th Oct 2008, 04:27 PM

7/8 Irish 1/8 Scottish.

I have Catholics, Presbyterians and (now ex-)Mormons in my ancestry - I'm an atheist though.

pianomike · 14th Oct 2008, 04:34 PM

25% Italian
20% Irish (thats the best part)
and the rest is a bunch of European... mutt (I hate to say that because i love just any part of Europe but, thats what i am)
P.S. i have relatives in the mob!!!!!!

14th Oct 2008, 04:34 PM

I'm English, German, and Scottish.
In that order, about 62.5% English, 25% German, 12.5% Scottish
=]

BlakeHarmony · 14th Oct 2008, 04:36 PM

Well, all of my ancestors are Mennonite, which means I'm not entirely sure... The last place they came from before they came to Canada was Russia and we are part of the german speaking Mennonite community.

sisyphusstone · 14th Oct 2008, 04:45 PM

I'm Puerto Rican,
80% Spanish
10% Danish
5% French
5% Corsican (a Mediterranean island south of France)

rosiejuly3 · 14th Oct 2008, 04:54 PM

I dont know any percents but I am mostly German and Irish.

Ojala · 14th Oct 2008, 04:57 PM

I'm half Italian and half Arabic.
I probably have some Albanian in me too and I'm not really sure which middle eastern country my mom's family is from because she's adopted but, it's just easier to say Arabic

pressured · 14th Oct 2008, 04:57 PM

um native american spanish and a little french my mom calls me an 'indian taco' lol

**EM68** · 14th Oct 2008, 05:01 PM

Half Greek, part Cuban, Spanish and Scottish.

14th Oct 2008, 05:03 PM

Well, were do I begin. I know I have more British and German than the rest listed in me.

British, German, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, Cherokee.

I know, I'm a mutt. lol

14th Oct 2008, 05:06 PM

I don't know about percents...but!

Spanish
French
Italian

I guess all those ancestors moved to South America! haha :P

14th Oct 2008, 05:07 PM

50% french 25% italian and 25% south american. :-p

Nodnarb · 14th Oct 2008, 06:35 PM

I'm not sure of percentages, but I have some French, British, German, and Polish.

My dad traced his family's ancestory back to Europe, and we know our family was from La Rochelle, France and Northampton, England(iirc).

14th Oct 2008, 06:56 PM

From the very, VERY little I was able to find out I'm -
German(nan on mum's side),
Irish?(grandpa on mum's side),
Aboriginal(someone on my fathers side, my nan's nan I think) - this is where my dark hair and eyes come from I assume, also I haven't seen sunlight in years and my skin is still a tad colored. I used to have tan skin naturally.

On a side note I had an interesting birthmark.
Mongolian Blue Spot
The nurses thought my mum had dropped me on my bottom and the mum thought they had. Apparently there was a huge fight about the origin of my blue butt. Until the senior nurse informed them that I just had a blue butt. My butt is no longer blue btw.
lololololol

Jonathan · 14th Oct 2008, 06:59 PM

I dont really know the percents, but I'm:
Irish
German
Austrian
Lithuanian

14th Oct 2008, 07:07 PM

I'm German on my dad's father's side of the family, french on my dad's mother's side of the family, and mainly French on my mother's side (they didn't really keep track of their ancestry as much as my father's side.)

So, I'm roughly half German, half French.
