Dutch on my dad's side, specifically Frisian Dutch, and Russian Jewish on my mom's. I think there's some Polish thrown in there too somewhere, though I'm not sure exactly where.

Okay so I can trace my family to the following things: Australian Aboriginal, British, Scottish, French, and German, and those are just the ones I can confirm for the last 6 generations. I know two parts of the family tree back farther though.

I'm pretty much a standard Australian mutt.

Mostly English with a large bit of German.

I would probably live in England, because on my father's side I can trace my family back to the battle of Hastings.

Well, I am "Taiwanese", technically "Chinese", because (i think) my (great?)grandparents moved from mainland sometimes before the 1950s. Mostly because the cultural stuff we practice is more related to the practices in China.

I don't know anything about my distant ancestry, unless you can trace the exceptionally common name of Smith back over several centuries. All I know is that my maternal grandparents were both from two seperate Smith families, in central England. My paternal grandparents were both Serbian immigrants who met and married in the UK, and my dad is therefore English but of Serbian descent. Hence my odd name (my username is actually my real first name, and means Trevor in English).

So yeah, half Serbian, half English, though I consider myself fully English apart from my name as we don't really talk to my dad's side of the family (he's effectively distanced himself from them completely).

done the family tree back to the 1200s and then after that (through rough matches, records kinda suck beyond that) to around 800

luckily my name is stupidly rare and everyone with it is pretty much related and the vast majority live in 2/3 shires in the UK

that name goes back to viking nobility and the family name is the name of two villages in the UK where they first landed to go rape and pillage and then set up a second base (for same reasons)

sounds cool but they are both sewage treatment plants now :( Still I plan to one day ride back on a horse and claim my lands..err plants back

my mothers side goes straight back to Mr Wallace of the braveheart type (about 17th/19th great cousin)...but I like the viking (dads) side better for some reason


my best friend at juniour school was the great great grandson of florence nightingale though...thats pretty cool I think

I am decended from vikings, bogtrotting islanders and frogs(But at least the only frogs who were decent fighters)

*Fun fact about my frenchness, I have a relative who has a statue in Montreal, and most of my ancestors in Canadia were, in fact, French Canadian Lumberjacks.

Scottish on both the maternal and paternal sides for the Clan MacLeod of Harris. Direct blood descendant of our progenitor, Ljotr, son of Olaus the Black King of the Isle of Mann and the Hebrides, son of Godfredson the Red, King of Iceland. So, there's Nordic in there as well.

I'm related by marriage to the Royal House of Stewart, which is said to descend from the line of Jesus for those that follow the ideology of the Priory of Scion.

I've been told Scotch/English/Danish. While nobody has said Irish, my mother is stereotypical to an extreme.

I don't really know much about my family members that are alive, nevermind the ancestors. If I was to take a guess then I'd say the romans might have had something to do with my dad's line, due to my nose.
