    What are your ethnic origins?

    I'm 25% french canadian, 12.5% scottish, either 12.5% or 6.25% blackfoot, either 12.5% or 6.25% sioux, probably 3.125% (maybe 6.25%) dutch, and most of the rest is probably british.

    100% Pontic Greek. My ancestors were all ethnic Greeks that lived in modern day Turkey (in the Pontus region) up until the Ottoman Empire kicked them out during World War 1.

    I'm 100% Filipino. My parents and my grandparents are all Filipino. Is that how these percentages work? Lol

    I will say that I do have Spanish and Chinese in me. For some reason, those elements from those ethnicities seem to stick out from me a lot more compared to my relatives. I'm fairly light-skinned and in some lights, I could look chinese or vietnamese.

    My origins? I should make a comic book about them... Cody Origins: Rise of a Dreamer. :lol:

    I don't know percentages, exactly, but I know I'm largely German, with some Irish, Ukrainian, Welsh mixed in.

    Japanese grandpa and halfer mother. We also have Indian and I'm pretty sure English blood.of course we also have black in the family. My redish blonde brown hair is probs genetic mutation because my mom was on so many medications to keep me healthy and are during her pregnancy with me.
    My arm hair is white when I'm inside and my hair is brown. But when I'm outside my crap lights up like the rings on umbreon lol (see what I did there XD)XD it turns a amber brown colour.. I call it golden hashbrown omfg lolz.

    I'm not entirely sure. The only thing I can say with certainty is that my paternal grandfather was born in Jamaica and moved here in the 1960s. I'm not sure if my paternal grandmother was from Jamaica as well.

    My surname is Irish, and my great great grandfather was a miner born around Barnsley before moving up to Leeds at some point.

    So kind of a weird mixture.. my skin is obviously white so nobody can guess that any of my blood relatives were born halfway across the world, but I tan very easily and have an olive tone whereas my mother is very pale. She also has naturally red hair and green eyes while I have dark hair and eyes.. so the genes are there somewhere.

    I really couldn't delve into the details because ancestry isn't something people here care about given most of our ancestors will have lived here for thousands of years anyway.

    100% Hispanic. Breaking it down is hard. I would probably need a DNA test to gauge it. My families have lived in the United States/ North America for the longest time (I suppose that on my Native Amerindian side since people crossed the Bering Strait) and from the white side since maybe the 1500-1600s. Many old censuses forms just had generic "white" on them.

    Wouldn't be surprised if I also had North African blood in me from the time the Moors conquered Spain. That said, my surname is decidedly Basque.

    Mostly German, with some kind of Native American (I forget which kind) from my dad's side of the family. Somewhere there's a little Scottish mixed in. Somewhere. [​IMG]

    I'm a funny mix. 50% were late 1700s German immigrants that went to Russia and were born and raised there. My mother's side Irish, my 4th Great Grandmother was a Blackfoot Native, and there is a little Cherokee to.

    I am very mixed and I don't know the percentages honestly. I am of east asian (Chinese, Japanese and Filipino) and European (Spanish and Scottish) descent. The relatives I am familiar with and I have been in contact with all live in Scotland (Perth and Edinburgh), Japan (Tokyo) and Spain (Barcelona).

    I'm an Anglo mix (Scottish, Irish, English) with a hint of Cherokee.

    But I basically look like this.
