What's YOUR ethnicity/ancestry?

the planet earth

 

My father's side is primarily English, Irish and Swiss, with some Scottish there as well. On my mother's side, German and Irish.

 

Goodness I am witty at times.

Italiano puro.

 

I'm American. I don't buy into the hyphenated-American garbage.

 

I am from somewhere in the milky way galaxy. I am so old that I forgot just where in the milky way..

 

Hey, I like that..... but where did your earthly ancestors come from?

I'm 1/2 German - 1/2 Norwegian....

 

I couldn't care less really. I know there is a lot of German, English, and some American Indian, Chrokee spec.

I have never understood racial pride. I don't understand pride in sports teams either. I take pride in MY accomplishments, and my immediate family. One of my ancestors was a signer of the declaration of independence. I think it is a neat factoid, but it doesn't give me any sense of "pride". Nor do the shameful acts of those who came before me bring me shame.

I am what I am, but I do what I do.
We do what we do because of who WE are, not because of what others do. This is a founding principal of mine.

 

75% - Czech { Czechoslovakian }

I agree w/all you said - but I think it's still nice to know what part of the planet your ancestors came from. It's just family info that some family members find interesting. I think genealogy is very interesting. My SIL's far distance relative is Tammy Wynette, who was one of my favorite singers.

One of my volunteers at the Red Cross told me when she was in the Air Force and did a back ground security check on her, they told her that she was related to Roy Rogers. I looked at her and could see the likeness w/the arch of the eyebrows, shape of eyes. I told you 'You DO look like Roy!' "No, I don't! I look like TRIGGER!' so we always had a laugh over who she looked like.......

And also knowing about any family inherited physical/mental problems is nice to know about.......

 

Depends how far back you want to go.....there's an English 4xgreat grandmother born about 1780 in Cumberland and apart from that continuing smidgeon, all the rest is Scottish....or at least as Scottish as Frasers/MacKenzies/MacDonalds and Sinclairs actually became over the centuries.

 

Father's father - Irish origin
Father's mother - English origin
Mother's father - Irish origin
Mother's mother - German origin

Both of my Grandfather's origins began with indentured Irish servants.

 

honduran and syrian

 

Good mix from across the globe.

 

5% native american sioux, 5% african american, 45% english american, 45% german american.

Unknown - I was adopted as a baby.

 

Catholic or Parochial school education is the finest in this land.
Yes,one has to DO their Homework and not back sass the Teach { Nun }.
There is NO playing teacher's pet.Everyone wears exactly the same
outfit {uniform} and is expected in their seat at the same time.
One of the few things Bill Clinton did as President was run an experiment
of poor blacks from bad inner city schools.He organized a roundup of
students from bad inner city black public schools and had them bussed
to a few of the dying out { set to close due to lack of funds } Parochial
schools.Fortunately they still had some Nuns and Priests
available.The black kids got uniforms and daily homework assignments.
They were given strict rules about talking and acting up in class.
It won't be tolerated.Those kids excelled beyong any expectation President
Clinton ever envisioned.Clinton ran around lauding the merits of simple
strictness and of course the role of uniforms.
Sometimes even a Liberal cracker boy like Clinton when faced with
Reality cannot turn asunder.Even though that is their disposition.

 

thanks ........

 

My dad is an Afrikaner, my mom moved here with her family from the UK when she was 4. My father's family are quite typical for an Afrikaner family in that his paternal forebears (whose surname I carry) came here from France in 1792. They stayed in the Cape until after the South African War ended in the early 1900's, and we are thus known as Cape Afrikaners. My father's maternal forebears are Dutch, who arrived in the Cape in 1664. The joined the Great Trek to escape British rule in 1832, and became prominent members of the South African Republic (Transvaal), and are thus know as Republican Afrikaners.
