Just wondering of people's background :evil: ! BTW, are North Americans the only one that do/are able to consider themselves of a different nationality than the country their born :suspiciou? I'm 75% Irish (Mallow in Country Cork) 12.5% Italian 12.5% English (or would it be called British )
I'm a dual citizen between the USA and the Netherlands. I'm 50% Dutch and 50% American, well italian actually because people from the USA aren't really from the USA.
50% Italian 25% Austrian 25% Irish My wife is 50% Chinese 25% Phillipino 25% white (mixed) If we ever have kids (God willing) they'll be scrambled eggs.
Most would consider me black, but I'm 12% Irish, 12% Cherokee Indian, 75% of some African descent or something
Glad to see we're all mature enough to keep this thread from getting out of hand - it has potential to do so. That being said I am: 50% African American 25% Filipino 25% Chinese
I am an American by birth and 100% Portuguese by heritage (all four of my grandparents immigrated from Portugal to the USA just before WWI.) When people in the U.S. ask me what I am, I say Portuguese. However, if I am asked while on travel outside of the US, I say American.
Same here. I would not consider myself Irish if I went to Ireland; just American . It's weird that a geneologist was interested in my family and did a huge report on it.....came here on September 27, 1857 (almost 150 years :grinthumb )!
We supposibly came from 1...yes 1 group of people that at one point had a population of only 10,000....and they migrated and as they did this, reproduced and settled. At least thats' what was on the History Channel !
Well, I'm Australian born and bred, my ancestors came here as free settlers quite a few generations ago (both sides of the family) and are mostly from Germany and Britain. But there's some Czech and Welsh in there as well. So I'm... 45% German 45% British 5% Welsh 5% Czech
5th generation english. ancestors are from county lietrim and roscomon ireland. i think thats why i love tatey
