I always wondered about what your make up was. You have such a unique-ness to you. You eyes are very Arab to me but the rest doen't fit into either European or Arab. You skin is so light and porcelain. Anyways, I think your unique and gorgeous.

Oh well. My parents did not grow up in Italy or Bahrain though. My mother's family moved to London in 1974 and lived there until 1989. My father grew up in Tunis, Tunisia and Tripoli,Libya but then went to school in the UK for secondary and uni and also lived there until 1989. Hence, I have a freakish Brittish accent despite not going to school there until I was 11.

Cool Mix!

 

[dmenchi]

GERMAN.. yes i know, boring

 

[Evey]

I'm Mexican =D

 

[kimmy]

mostly irish...obviously. i can throw back guinness like there's no tomorrow, and won't hesitate to throw down if i get called out.

according to my sister's research, we've also got some scottish, british, cherokee and navajo in us.

 

[komischkatze]

It's a mystery! I'm adopted. ;p But I would be surprised if I didn't have some French background (ah, South Louisiana).

 

[Miss_M]

I'm 100% Dutch

 

[MAC_Whore]

25% French / 25% Norwegian / 25% Scottish / 25% Irish = NW25 a/k/a Not born of people who tan well.

My family is quite new to America. They have kept really precise records, so I have had the pleasure of seeing how we became what we are today. It's pretty cool to look back at it all.

Gotta tell you that I am pleased the family didn't resurect any of the old family names when I was born:

Maude
Content
Hyacinyhe

Not that there's anything wrong with them, they just aren't me.

Oh, and born and mostly raised in Seattle, which I frickin' love! I LOVE SEATTLE. So, I am a proud Seattlite, as well.

 

[Dizzy]

My mom's family has been in America since the Spanish-American War (they're Spanish- completely). The family has kept freakishly detailed records of the family since then, according to those not one person has married/had kids with someone who wasn't Spanish except for my mom.

My dad's family is German and Irish, but didn't come to America until during WWII. Even then, it was just my grandparents who came because they were kicked out of Ireland. Majority of my dad's family is still in Ireland.

In the end, I'm 100% American.

 

[FemmeBella86]

I'm Puertorican & Dominican=]

I like to say I'm a mix of platano & Goya bean! HAHA

 

[somethingsinful]

English, Scotch-Irish, French, and I am a 1/64 Native American Cherokee to be precise and my family has been in the Americas since the beginning of the Jamestown Settlement

 

[stellarx1587]

I am Norwegian, Greek, Spanish, & Filipino!

 

[Shimmer]

redneck.

 

[alexisdeadly]

99% Puerto Rican 1% Spaniard

 

[redambition]

i'm pretty much all polish, however i have been told that there is a small amount of german in my blood. (1/12 or something like that.)

there is a bit of uncertainty there as i've never been able to trace back the family tree on my dad's father's side.

my parents actually met and married in australia. i was born and raised here.

i often get mistaken for irish (thanks to my red hair) or english (thanks to my surname). my surname is an anglicised, shortened version of my fathers real surname. it was changed when he migrated to australia.

 

[luvsic]

Chinese (pure) ...but my second cousins are half scottish. I don't think there's any scottish blood in me though XP

 

[miss_supra]

My Mom: Native american (Apache), Mexican and German
My Dad: English, German, Romanian and I think Scottish or Irish.

 

[SparklingWaves]

I have been asked if I am Nordic (sp?) all my life. Also, I have been asked, "Where are you from?" Even recently, I was told that I don't "look" like I am from here. It's all news to me.

I think that I am just fair skinned person.

Update: I had to consult the genealogy records. I am Scottish, Irish, Dutch, German, and Native American. These records are only going back six generations. I would have to go over seas to find out more. Whoa!

 

[BionicWoman]

***African-American***

 

[nunu]

I am 100% Middle Eastern (Oman) from both sides.
I get mistaken for being Spanish or Indian. Most people won't guess that i'm Arabic, I don't know why..
