Countries of origin and Ancestry

[brooksieb]

I know you Communists like culture and multi culturalism and all that, but what is your ancestry, is there any interesting facts? I'll go through some of mine...

English - Common sense ain't it? English in England, This is also the Ethnicity I Identify myself with.
Scottish - This takes up about 1/4 of my ancestry, this also includes Scots Irish.
Irish - This also takes up about 1/4 of my ancestry and I like to refer upon this specific bit of my ancestry.

So what's Left?

Ashkenazi Jewish - On one random day I asked my Granddad if we have any Jewish in the family, he replied yes and I was amazed, He showed all the records and everything, There surname was 'Biss' and I'm guessing they would have been Ashkenazi Jews from Germany, not much is known on them and it is hard considering it is quite common for Jews to change their name, So I may actually have more Jewish parts of the family I haven't discovered yet, Some people may be surprised I take pride in this considering I have presented myself as a white nationalist, but I hold no grudges against these people at all, I admire a lot of Jews for their hard work, What I don't admire is these Jews who (along with whites) run the establishment, creating today's current problems...

Han Chinese - On my other side of the family I have located a tiny drop of Chinese, they went by the name Ming and came to Britain in the 19th century.

1/2 Italian - My dad's side lives in the mountains by Trento, it's almost German, and my grandparents speak a dialect called Nones. Its part of the Ladin language. I classify myself as Italian, and can speak some of the language
1/4 Slovenian - My grandfather on my mom's side was born there and lived there for a few years. His parents died when he was young so he doesn't remember anything about the culture.
1/4 Irish - My grandmother's father came over from Ireland under a fake name. We can't trace him. His wife is from either Ireland or Alsace Lorraine. We do not know if she was French, German, or Irish, but since we know her husband's heritage, that side is Irish

On my Irish side of the family we had someone who went over to the United states as a boxer in the Early 20th century, he went by the Name McCarthy and he was quite successful, he was approached by Al Capone's Mafia and bribed to lose his next match, but he ignored them and won the match, he was then shot as a consequence.

That's an amazing story. My Irish side isn't as exciting as that. He came over under the name William Hill (real easy to find that name) and owned a truck lot in Ridgewood, Queens.

Yeah, I find my Jewish side quite interesting as it's basically shrouded in mystery, I know it was a woman that came to England, Pre 1933, but we simply do not know much about her.

[maasman]

1/2 German
All of my dad's side is German. In fact, my great-great grandfather and his relatives were the first settlers in Shawano county WI. I have great grandparents that fought on both sides in WW1, and I have relatives that fought on both sides in WW2, one, a great uncle, was in a Russian POW camp for something close to 5 years.
1/2 Bohemian
I do not know nearly as much about my moms side. I know that there were 3 brothers who immigrated to America. 2 of them settled in Cadott, WI, and the other went to Austin MN.

[muy_thaiguy]

Some part Irish-6th generation on this side of the family.
Some part Welsh- Probably about the same
A little German- Though I do have cousins in Nebraska that are half German (their Mother's side)

And that's through the mother's side. Don't know my father, or his side of the family, so I can't really speak for that side.

[jrl332005]

Okay, where do I start:

~40% Polish
~25% Germany (My family always jokes that my German side is trying to kill my Polish side)
~30% Irish
~5% French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, British, countries from Africa that I don't know the name of, possibly other ethnicities I have yet to learn about

I come from all around the world.

[The Bison King]

My mom's side of the family is almost entirely Irish with a touch of German, but like I said almost entirely Irish. 3rd or 4th generation I believe. My Grandma actually still knows family that lives in Ireland and has visited them.

My dad's side is Largely German, 5th or 6th Generation, not entirely sure.

It's a Cincinnati thing, big time. Almost everyone here is Irish/German, THE ULTIMATE DRINKING RACE!!!!!!

[mviola]

Damn, I feel so different. Everyone here is German/Irish/English for the most part and have family that has been here for hundreds of years. My whole family came over in the 20st century.

[nietzsche]

5/32 french
9/27 italian
3/13 mexican
1/90 german
14/52 white

[The Bison King]

14/52 white

According to the US census Mexican is white.

[Baron Von PWN]

Cannuck here. My family has been in Canada just about as long a family could be. We were the first registered wedding in Quebec and their neighbors were the other side of the family.
Somewhere in my mom's side of the family there's First nations blood, but its pretty far back so we don't know much about it ( a great-great-great grandmother or something). Anyways every few generations the first nations genes decide to come out in force and we get some swarthier kids. My mom was one and she passed it down to me and my sister, as a result people are usualy surprised by our primarily french Canadian ancestry.

probably about 65% French Canadian ancestry
33% English (grandmother a Brit from Bristol, great grandmother English but I don't know from where)
2% First nations

[thegreekdog]

50% Greek
25% Italian
25% Irish

[ViperOverLord]

I knew my gene pool went back to people like Henry VIII, William the Conquerer on my dad's side, but a few months back I found out that I go back to Pocahantas on my mom's side.

[L M S]

Fathers Side
French Canadian
Native American (Blackfoot Indian)

Mothers Side
Dutch
somewhere up there with the fjords, we'll just call it Scandinavian.

[saxitoxin]

not to be a Debbie Downer, gang, but errr ... Canadian, Swiss, Australian, Austrian and United Statsian (?) are not ethnicities

but, it's awesome we're celebrating our diversity here! let's CELEBRATE!

anywho, ol' Saxi is 3/4 German and 1/4 Sorb (maternal grandmother was Sorbian and used to spend hours in the kitchen creating exquisite and complex Sorbian recipes ... which was rather a waste of time as eating Sorbian food is like giving a rimmer to a Great Dane)

also, I'm 1/4 RAINBOWS & SUNSHINE!*

(* correct - that equals 125% of a person ... ol' Saxi is larger than life)

They are however, countries of origin DD.
just sayin.

[billy07]

there's never been any foreigner's in my family. although my great grandmother was a scouser.

when i worked abroad i used to be asked if i was italian alot though. probably just because i have dark hair and a big nose.

[DAZMCFC]

[tzor]

Irish
Scots
Lithuanian
Jewish

dunnno where you live brooksie but there's a huge ashkenazi community in stamford hill, about 10 mins walk from my house. Interesting ancestry - as far as i know they keep themselves very much to themselves...

[thegreekdog]

Wait... is Judaism an ethnicity? I was under the impression that it was a religion. For example, I have a friend who is Jewish, but ethnically he's Polish and Ukranian.
