March 27, 200916 yr 3 of my 4 grandparents were/are 100%, it's my mother & her mother that brought a 4-part mix to the beaker... tho still researching that branch. I, my wife & therefore my sons are all 50%. BTW- having difficulty 'reading' your graphic above; who is what ??
March 27, 200916 yr Author BTW- having difficulty 'reading' your graphic above; who is what ?? My father is the whole left side, my mother the whole right. Their fathers are on top, mothers on bottom. So my father's father is part Irish, part French. My father's mother is Ukranian. My mother's father is Swiss and Scottish. My mother's mother is Polish.
March 27, 200916 yr 50% Pollock, 25% Italian, 25% mutt (German, Welsh, blah blah I have no idea). Therefore, I say I'm 75% Pollock, 25% Italian.
March 27, 200916 yr 50% French 25% Portuguese and some mixture of English and Native American, and probably a little bit of others mixed in.
March 27, 200916 yr Based on research my sister and I did a few years ago, my ancestors were 50% English and 50% Irish on my Dad's side, Scots-Irish (Ulster), Welsh, Scottish, and Native American (Cherokee) on my Mom's side..my ancestors all settled in Appalachia in the mid to late 1800s-- western Virginia, eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennesee.
March 27, 200916 yr This question is too easy. My Mom and Dad got married in and emigrated from a small town in southern Italy. I was born in the U.S. I'm so damn inbred that my parents couldn't identify anybody above their great-grandparent level that came from outside of Sicily. Scary. I've got dark hair, but no other dark features. Nobody on either side looks southern Italian, either.
March 27, 200916 yr french german irish on my dads side. my grandpa has traced us back to 1780 something. had a relative in the revolutionary war, as well as civil war.
March 27, 200916 yr Not a clue what I am.... I know that most settlers from in the Appalachians were either Scottish or Irish and I do have reddish facial hair. (LOL) I also know that my family originally settled in Indian land and my last name has a sort of indian vibe to it. I also know that I'm huge and a lot of people say that I look German. So, who the hell knows? (I'd love to actually research my family someday.
March 27, 200916 yr Somewhere around 1/2 English, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 German. So I'm white and pale, whoohoo
March 28, 200916 yr 12% English (rounded down from 12.5%) 12% French (rounded down from 12.5%) 25% German 25% Finnish 26% Italian I have the Italian last name and grew up in South Jersey, where all my neighbors last names ended in 'i' or 'o', hence the 1% add-on.
March 28, 200916 yr Somewhere around 1/2 English, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 German. So I'm white and pale, whoohoo Heh-heh...with my English/Irish/Welsh/Scottish/Scots-Irish heritage, I'm white and pale, and have a Midwestern body type (round and pudgy--6'0", 230). Brown eyes and balding, friends have said I look like a cross between George Costanza and Tony Soprano..
March 28, 200916 yr Gub'ment says you're 'obese', moltie. You can still watch Paula Dean & Keith Olberman in HD from a treadmill, you know. :wink:

March 28, 200916 yr Mom's pretty much 100% Spanish, although it comes from both Mexico and Spain. There is a little bit of Native American sneaking around in there, but not enough for me to claim. Dad's 50/50 Irish and Danish. I usually just claim the Hispanic side despite the Irish name...
March 28, 200916 yr Dad's side pretty much all German, with an Irish Great Grandmother, Bernice. Mom's maternal side Irish, paternal side Scotch-English-French. Lineage traced back to the two presidents Adams and Jackie Kennedy on mom's side. Edited March 28, 200916 yr by ocnblu
March 28, 200916 yr 50% German, 25% Italian, 25% Irish My mom's side both immigrated to the US from southern Germany back in the 1870s-1880s, settling in western Iowa (quite a few German Catholic towns around there). For my dad's side, his mom's relatives immigrated from Ireland around probably 1860 or so and settled in northern Montana by the Canadian border. His dad's side immigrated from Italy in the 1890s and stayed around New York. My grandpa grew up in Queens Village.
March 28, 200916 yr 50% Italian und 50% German ... My father is 100% Italian and my mother is 100% German. I look Italian Dark hair, but have bright blue eyes. My wife says I have the bluest eyes she has ever seen, and my eyes are what first attracted her to me ...
March 30, 200916 yr His dad's side immigrated from Italy in the 1890s and stayed around New York. My grandpa grew up in Queens Village. That's awesome. Some of those communities in Queens are Guido Central.
March 30, 200916 yr but have bright blue eyes. My wife says I have the bluest eyes she has ever seen, and my eyes are what first attracted her to me ... You tell us over and over ... and so? :AH-HA_wink:
March 30, 200916 yr You tell us over and over ... and so? :AH-HA_wink: Well they are not like my brother's who has one brown eye and one blue, when he was little we called him Husky dog ...
March 30, 200916 yr I do not identify with any other culture so I'm sticking with American, its about time American is recognized as an ethnicity anyways.
March 30, 200916 yr That's awesome. Some of those communities in Queens are Guido Central. When I was last there in the mid '90s, it seemed to be a mixture of African American and Hispanic residents. The neighborhood also looked like it had been kept up pretty well, unlike some other areas in Queens and Brooklyn.
March 31, 200916 yr When I was last there in the mid '90s, it seemed to be a mixture of African American and Hispanic residents. The neighborhood also looked like it had been kept up pretty well, unlike some other areas in Queens and Brooklyn. I should have said "historically." That ethnic segment has moved out to the suburbs. Case in point is Montreal. While there was a larger European immigrant contingent in Cote-des-Neiges/Snowdon (near St. Joseph's Oratory shrine) in the past, there is now a large Ethiopian/Eritrean community in that neighborhood...just the way things evolve.
