- Your Ancestry? -

[superbatranger]

Well, I think I've mentioned this before, but I have Costa Rican, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Armenian, and Israeli blood. Oh, and I think Turkish, Italian and French, but that's somewhat of a gray area.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

400 years as a Norwegian, that's it, other than that, I'm nobody.

Were I born in the medieval era, chances are good I'd be an Irish woodsman. My last name is Underwood, apparently one of those surnames that began as a job description.

The vast majority of my father's side of the family is Irish, although some older members of his family are convinced we're directly descended from Mary, Queen of Scots. I have yet to see any concrete proof of this statement, but it would be kind of awesome if it were true. Not-so-awesome: I have an ancestor who was a Confederate infantryman. He also got shot in the collarbone and died, though. Karma?

Thanks to my mother, I've also got a good bit of Swedish and Hungarian Jewish blood, and apparently some great-great-great etc. grandfather married a Shoshone woman, so I may be very slightly Native American. In short, I'm from all over the place.

EDIT: I actually bothered to look up the name Underwood, which is indeed Scottish in origin. That makes the previous statement a little more likely, I suppose.

i am French, dutch and English, mix them together and what do you get?

Frutchish?
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

i was going for endufrish, but frutchish is waaay better

 

[Tharwen]

I'm Scottish, Welsh, and English.

[sub]Anyone want to swap a bit of Welsh for some Irish?[/sub]

 

[Hussmann54]

Well my fathers side (Hussmann) is Irish with some German, but I can trace ancestry back to William The Conqueror ( Duke William of Normandy, William the Bastard,) who reformed the feudal system (your welcome Britain). My Mothers side (Plunkett and Kirshner) is half Irish, half German. We are drinkers lol.

Who`s with me?

 

[Mandal0re]

My dad is half Irish half English and my mums mostly Maltese although she has a French grandmother and an Italian grandmother. Malta is a melting pot of Turkish,Arabic and mediterranean ancestry so ye my ancestry is quiet a mix. Born and raised in England though.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

We are supposed to be descendants of Carthage, and (if some sources are to be believed) some of my ancestors served as mercenaries for the Roman Empire as a cavalry unit (no, not Sarmatian knights so don?t go there) in Spain (Hispania in that time)

 

[Beltom]

Only going back a couple of generations, I'm half English and half Welsh. If you go back much further I'm Danish on the English side, my family lived in Yorkshire and came from Danish settlers in that region, and on the Welsh side I'm French, don't ask me how that works. :S

 

[Hollock]

one side of my family is french candadian. My other Grandmother is the daughter of irish Immigrants, and my other grandfather is of English heritage, but they've been in america since the 1800s

 

[hardlymotivated]

1/2 Scottish, and the rest is a mixture of Irish and English. Since a fairly large portion of my family were begat as a result of illegitimacy, I'm not exactly sure on the proper ratios.

 

[spartandude]

ive only traced my family back a few hundred years 18th centuary. since then most of my family has come from every single country in britain, a little bit of french and my great great grand father was indian

 

[Dapsen]

1/4 Greenlandish and the rest is mixed Scandinavian, if not completely Danish.

EDIT: if i had to be something else than scandi/greeny, it should be Irish/Australian

 

[Seatownstriker]

Well lemme see. I'm Dutch, German, Swedish. I am also related to Daniel Boone, through his last child. He had 9 children. Also found out while doing a project for a History of animation class. Tex Avery was also related to Daniel Boone. Famous animator who created Daffy duck, Bugs bunny,Porky pig and a few others.

 

[Blitzkreg]

Ancestry on the border between northern England, southern Scotland, and from north-western Germany. Yes, you're right, my ancestors are the most successful in the world, so what?

 

[youkiri]

All from Norway..... Viking power!

 

[crouchingtigress01]

For certain I can say I am of German, English, Scottish, Irish, and Native American decent even though I look more like the first four. As for my ancestors, I know that I am related to Pocahontas, my great-grandfather was a Native American chief, and almost everyone else has been here since the founding of the country and so were veterans of war... so it makes sense as to why my family fights so much, it's in our genes ^_^ tee hee

 

[BluenetteDiviner]

My mum's side of the family has been Welsh for as far as we can go back
And my dad's side has been English for as far back as we can go.

So i'm English and Welsh... tis it.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

English mostly. Although apparently I'm a distant descendant of Alexander the Great.

You're Greek?

I'm 100% Greek.

No, I'm Canadian. But as far as Ancestry goes I guess some Greek has to be in there somewhere. I don't know, I didn't do the ancestry trace thing, one of my aunts did. All I know is that I'm somehow related to Alexander the Great.

 

[Talvrae]

I'm a pure blood french canadian... but if we go back to medieval times i'm a mix of french and english... for most of the part... If my familly tree is accurate i'm somehow blood related to King Richard Lion Harth...

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I've got German, Irish, Scottish, Native American, Puerto Rican, and Spanish heritage.
