Mexican and Khoja/African/Indian. My family from dad's side has 6 or more generations in Africa where an early ancestor and his family migrated from Mumbai India as a traveling merchant seeking riches on the dark continent and they pretty much stayed there (in Madagascar) for generations to come, all the way up to me. If I was born in middle ages then I would be an awesome Indian prince of Rajastan (with a harem of many gorgeous wives) since I am a direct descendent of a Maharaja of Rajastan in the Moghul empire where we fought the Rajputs.

Not to sure really, i know that my mum's side is English for the most part, some came from New Zealand. And my dad's side is from Scotland, other than that I don't think I have any really notable ancestors. It's hard to trace my roots anyway since I have a common Scottish surname and my mums side has a common english/irish name :p

Mediocrity for the win!

Family name is traceable back to the Norman invasion of England, so on my dad's side: English, Scottish, small amount French.

Mom's side: Irish, pre-war German jew, and native american

Verdict: Mutt. Ended up with dark green narrow eyes, medium-large but not hooked nose, and genes that keep me from looking older than I am

On my dad's side I'm Dutch, then my family moved to South Africa for the Dutch colonies some 300 years ago. On my Mom's side I'm English, going back a little I'm illigitimate royalty. Then she moved to Rhodisia to be part of the British colony there where my parents met.

American. German and Swedish sides to the family, with some French and a lot of Europe thrown in there. I'm destined to rule the world if I marry a Mongolian girl.

I don't know.

I think it's Irish or something? I come from a family who moved here, were the richest people in the entire town off of lumber, (this place USED to be the lumber capital of the world.) I'm talking VERY rich, then they used up all of the wood, didn't replant, and the industry failed.

I got a nice house out of it though.

on my dads its austrian when you go back a bit and probably a bit of German or hungarian if you go back further still.

I'm like a 4th or 5th generation Australian but heres what i do know:
Fathers side:
His mother: was descended from english and irish and some of them were convicts who were sent over.
His Father: no idea but probably descended from english as well.

Mothers Side:
Her Father: was decended from the Isle of Man which mean he was a mixture of manx and viking.
Her Mother: Mostly decended from a mix of english and scottish.

Verdict: I have Dirty Blonde to fair hair, blue grey eyes, fairly tall and i get a reddish beard. All in all I'm mostly from the british isles with a strong streak of scandinavian running through me.

I haven't done any real tracing of my family tree but I do know that all of my family has been in Australia at least 100 years.

If I were to have been born during the Medieval era I would have probably been born in either Ireland or England.

Born Australian, descend from English, Irish, Scottish and Polynesian lines. Not too sure how far back, my mother is in the process of doing her family tree.

I'm an American of almost completely German descent. My dad's side is all German and my mom's side is almost all German. There's a little bit of Irish in there and maybe a little bit of French, but not entirely sure. The most interesting thing I've heard about my ancestry is that I could be a descendant of a member of Jesse James' gang. Yee-haw! Time for me to go prepare for trouble! Just don't ask me to make it double.

Swedish for at least 600 years, on both sides. I might have a Viking ancestor! Which would be totally awesome.

The only special thing I know about my ancestry is that my paternal grandfather was a srongman/weightlifter from Italy. I'm also told he was on the cover of Time magazine, as well.

As far as my grandma's family tree grows, my oldest known ancestor was a christian warrior of Greek descent from the coastal parts of Asia. He abandoned his unit and settled down in a Greek island as a priest. Other than that I know nothing more about my ancestry :p
