Re: What is your ethnic background?
this is what i know for sure:
german, irish, cherokee, english, welsh, french, scots & IF my researching from some yrs ago is accurate, i am one of the 100,000 or so living at this time who has descended from constantine (emporer, not that i'm proud of this but it is interesting to note) and pretty much all of the royalty that covered europe as well as signers of the magna carta. small world, eh? i'd love to find out more about my fathers german/english side as well as the cherokee from my mother's side that seemed to have left the blanket at different times, pending on what branch of the family they came from.
i think one thing that stays w/ me when i have viewed various segments of my genealogical history is that parts of my ancestry was trying to destroy another part but somewhere along the way, two cultures/ethnicities blended to create a generation of entirely new people and this repeats itself over and over. so many of us "mutts" are like this.
