general What's Your Ancestry?

[Ampharos 1,009]

I'm half Dominican and half a jumble of other things. English, French Canadian, Irish, and Portuguese are the big ones I believe, Portuguese being the main one of those.

 

My mother was born in the Dominican Republic and lived there until she was 17. She had to go to an American high school with next to no knowledge of the English language.

 

Despite that, I don't look very latino at all.

I know I'm descended from William the Conqueror. I'm also of Scottish and Irish descent on my moms side, Swedish & Norwegian on both sides and I'm 1/16th Cherokee on my dads side. 

[Sekr Gray 520]

As best my family can tell, heritage is primarily English, with dabbles into Irish/Scottish lineage. Even further back is Germanic. And of course there's the rumored Native American princess somewhere in there

I don't know a lot about my history. All I know is that my dad's ancestors were Italians

[Rainbow Diamonds 282]

American, Cherokee, German, Jewish, Scottish, a tiny bit of Irish, possibly African (can't confirm yet.) 

[L1ghtn1ng_Flash 213]

i Am Basically Half Norwegian And half Spanish, the rest is very obscure and unknown,

[KatonRyu 1,026]

I know I'm at least half-Dutch. The other half...no one knows for certain but judging by my looks I'm probably fully Dutch. The reason I don't know is because I don't know who my biological father is since he was an anonymous donor. The man I call my father had already had a vasectomy and didn't actually want any more kids (to his credit, he did raise my sister and me properly, he never gave the impression he didn't want us around), but my mom did so they went with this route.

 

I like to imagine I'm somehow nobility, and I honestly never want to find out for sure. I like the mystery of not being certain and I truly scoff at the sods on TV who are in similar situations, and upon finding out go "I've always known I was different, I've always felt there was something more to me and meeting my real father will solve all my problems ever." I've never once felt different (well, not in that way) in my entire life and even knowing what I do, my father is still my father. In other words to the sad sacks on TV, stop being pretentious and just live your life.

[Scrubbed user 3,415]

I'm Anglo-Saxon, but mostly German. I do actually have living relatives living in Germany.

[Roughshod 719]

There's French, Irish, Scottish, Jewish and Native American. The Native American roots are very distant though, at least five or six generations with no distinctive physical traits.

[frenchie1995 73]

The majority of my dad's family comes from Sweeten; and' my mom's family comes from: Spain, Ireland, and White-American.  

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

Flilipino. My dad is from Tarlac and my mom's parents are from Cavite. Both cities are from the Philipine province of Luzon, the largest, northernmost island of the Philippines. My mom herself, however, was born in Kentucky somehow. Ironically, there aren't a lot of KFC's there, according to my mom.

* i'm a quarter hungarian, that's about all i know.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,293]

If I recall, one side of my family is heavily German in the past while the other is heavily Scottish. My great grandmother was actually from Scotland. :3 

[SquipyCheetah 448]

I'll be perfectly honest, I have no idea. I guess no one in my family ever mentioned it or I never asked.

[Nila Bean 133]

African 

Native American

 

That's all I know of....

 

They balance each other out pretty well, you can see distinctive traits from both sides in my family line (although African  traits are slightly more dominant....the uncontrollable kinky curls mainly give it away)

 

 

We can trace our ancestors back to Africa, but all the specifics Idk.

[Frostgage 7,972]

I believe I'm English and German from my dad's side, and a mix of Russian, Polish and Latvian from my mom's (Jewish). We've never really talked about it tho

[Vennax 58]

I'm mainly welsh ( My fathers family has been here for ages and I'm born here) and French (My mothers family is French)

[Notthetypicalbrony 10]

I grew up in America but both sides of my family originally come from Poland and left in the 1900's. I am of Jewish descent.

[Vulcan 3,254]

European, Chinese , Spanish, and Filipino. Though mostly the latter. 

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

I'm mostly French, I'm the only one in the family since I was adopted.
