Where do u come from or originated from?? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

whitefang · 11th Jun 2009, 10:21 PM

I am interested in where ppl come from or wher they originated from.

I'm Irish, Greek, Indian, and German.

GhostDog · 11th Jun 2009, 10:25 PM

My family's been in Texas for a pretty long time (both sides), but the countries that my ancestors either were kicked out of or said "Let's blow this popsicle stand" were as follows:

Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany, Austria, aaand Slovakia (back when it was Bohemia).

Basically, my family could only be whiter if it were actually composed of walking loaves of Wonderbread.

MusicIsLife · 11th Jun 2009, 10:30 PM

On my dad's side i know my great-great grandparents were from scotland
on my moms side my great great grandparents were from ireland and england

And my grandmother was a newfie.

NkyJ · 11th Jun 2009, 10:42 PM

My ancestors were mainly from the Alsace-Lorraine region shared between Germany and France, but I have a little bit of Irish in me. :P

AeonToy · 11th Jun 2009, 10:43 PM

korean, i was born in kansas though :/

**Maddy** · 11th Jun 2009, 10:50 PM

My family's been in Australia for a really long time, I know at least one of my direct ancestors was a convict in the early 1800s. Before that, English, Norwegian, Scottish and German.

Jose Carioca · 11th Jun 2009, 10:50 PM

1/2 Jamaican + 1/2 white = Mulatto!

I look mostly white though.

Greggers · 11th Jun 2009, 10:50 PM

I am second generation Canadian. My family is really all dutch. Dutch dutch dutch. Dutcher than dutch.

Shevanel · 11th Jun 2009, 11:01 PM

Most of my family is in the Tristate Metro Area (NYC, Long Island, New Jersey and such). I guess 2nd or 3rd Generation Americans. 100% Italian. Except for my Mother's father's side which comes from an area formerly known as Italy (call them anything but an Italian and they'll kick your face in) but is now part of Croatia. In Trieste. And on my Dad's side his mother's family is technically Sicilian which may or may not count as Italian, but it's all basically the same thing.

**Eleanor Rigby** · 11th Jun 2009, 11:15 PM

I'm nearly 100% French. My grand mother's great grand mother was Belgium, but that's the only abroad roots I have.

djt820 · 11th Jun 2009, 11:32 PM

I originated from my mother's vagina.

Courtneyyy · 11th Jun 2009, 11:34 PM

Well, my mom is half Irish and half German, that makes me a quarter Irish and a quarter German. My biological father I THINK is all English. He was just a sperm donor so I really don't know, I think my mom told me once. My legal father (who actually shouldn't be considered a father because I never see him nor did he ever pay child support) is Native American, Northern Arapaho to be exact. One good thing about him is that last semester I got a $1500 grant from his tribe for school. Yay free money!

11th Jun 2009, 11:34 PM

well, one night, a little more than 20 years ago, my mommy and my daddy decided that they weren't going to sleep that night, and when they decided that, a few hours later, there was little me coming into being.

sorry couldnt help myself. im born and raised in san diego

katherine20 · 12th Jun 2009, 12:50 AM

I'm 7/8 Finnish, 1/8 Russian

12th Jun 2009, 01:01 AM

Ancestry is...Irish, German, English, annnd a pinch of Native American

But really, born in Colorado, raised in Texas.

Stuie · 12th Jun 2009, 01:12 AM

My dad's family is all Scottish and from Glasgow I think. And my mum's family has been in Australia for quite a few generations, but they're originally from Scotland and Ireland and I think there's one French person about 5 generations back. My mum's side is also supposed related to Mary, Queen of Scots and Mary MacKillop.

Family origin tends to come up a lot on EC for some reason.

KittyBoy · 12th Jun 2009, 01:44 AM

I'm 7th generation Australian, on both sides. My dads family, and ancestors, are all English free-settlers of the British aristocracy and some French aristocratic families from the First Fleet. My Mum ancestors, are Irish and Scotish upper class, French and English industrialists, settled in first fleet and early 1810's. Lol, snobby background indeed, but I learnt that it doesn't matter where you come from, but rather who you are.

Daniel · 12th Jun 2009, 02:03 AM

1/2 German, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 British (strong blend of Welsh with English and a hint of Scottish).

Yes the sun is my enemy.

Born in Syracuse, New York.

Lived, and by lived I mean my heart belongs there, in Aalborg, North Jutland, Denmark.

Iceeh · 12th Jun 2009, 02:41 AM

Irish, Cherokee, & French Canadian. Although I was born and raised in Alaska.

seanr · 12th Jun 2009, 03:39 AM

1/4 irish, 1/2 english, 1/8 welsh and 1/8 scottish

incidentally, though I am 100% not proud of it, my grandad's uncle was a founder if the IRA
