    Based on my grandparents on both sides, I am 1/4 Italian, 1/8 Slovak, 1/8 Polish, 1/4 German, and not sure about the other 1/4... I think either German or English.

    I really resemble my father side (Italian/Slovak/Polish) a lot more than my mother's

    was like a picture

    Me? I hail from the blood of the following:

    * Scottish and Romany Gypsy from my Mother's side
    * Irish and English from my Father's side

    AND! I found out recently that my biological Grandparents and Uncle are Canadian! :D

    unsure of percentages but put it this way.... I'm a firey breed!! lol :D
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    My mum's a geneology freak! :) So I've traced back to Great Great Great Grandparents in England and Ireland and NZ and we've even visited the places they lived and their graves. :) It's pretty cool once you get into it!

    Actually I even found family when I was in London at the records office, from way back in the 1600's! :) Publicans! :D
    NOPE!!!

    Agreed! my Dad did our family history all the way back to 1602 on his Mother's side, turns out they've lived in that same area since then! Then my mum did her family history cuz she was adopted as a baby, she was a geneological mystery too but we whittled it down to Romany Gypsy and Scottish, thats how she found her real Dad and Bro in Canada! It's so interesting finding out just how messed up our gene pools really are! lol

    That's awesome!! :D Same with us, well on my Dad's side anyway. They all seem to live around Stoke By Neyland. :confused: NOT that I even know where that is! And a few took off for Canada and America. And a few more were from Scotland. It's really cool when you find stuff! I was so excited the day I found that stuff in the records office in London, because there's not that many of us left with my surname and from what I can tell that's all around the world, not that many left.
    I was so lucky to be at Saintes Maries de la Mer for the annual Romany gypsy pilgrimage a few years back! It was FANTASTIC!! :D Sounds like a very interesting family tree you got there sian. :)
    NOPE!!!

    I'm guessing along the lines of the above criteria,
    marshmallow = atomic bomb

    how long can your ancestors live in one place before they just become a person from there? I'm think most of my relatives have lived in the southern US for at least 200 years. i need a new ethnicity. maybe I'm 75% redneck white trash.

    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
