Answer 13

I have a lot of German and Irish in me. I'm also English, French, and a little bit of Native American. Hard to tell though because I'm so white.

Answer 14

I've been working on my genealogy for over 15 years. I'm mostly descended from the colonial immigrants before the American Revolution. Some lines in my family tree seem to "mysteriously" come to "dead ends" while others go very far back and include the royal blood lines of Europe and the Romans.

My list includes EVERYTHING that I know of (or infer); If we go by "national" identities I'm:

English

Scottish

Scots-Irish

Irish

Italian

Barbary-Arab

Native American: (in different lines descended from the Coree, Tuscarora, and maybe others)

French

German (some from Prussia-so, maybe some Polish admixture)

Welsh

Dutch

Swiss

Danish

Spanish

Greek???

I asked my paternal grandmother when I was 9 years-old where our ancestors came from to which she indicated that she was Italian and that my grandfather was Scots-Irish with a little German. As it later turned out, she wasn't completely Italian (and my grandfather was mostly English and Scots-Irish), but I grew up with what I call "an Italian state of mind;" for most of my life I identified, personally, with Italian heritage. In actuality I'm probably mostly Scottish and English with everything else taking up smaller varying percentages of my background.

There are positives and negatives about every nation/culture's heritage and history so I'm not sure I can say that I prefer one over the other, although I do like the fact that my dad's side includes features such as olive skin; even though I'm fairly "white" I can get very brown if I tan properly.

I guess I'd have to say that I most enjoy learning about the cultures of all of these (and others as well).

Answer 15

I'm English and French. That my family is of the royal blood line and we carry the Lavendar eyes and creamy white skin with strawberry blonde hair.

Answer 16

Mostly english, german, and dutch

Answer 17

50% Italian

25% French-Canadian

25% English-Canadian

None of my great grandparents were born in America. On my dad's side, they both came from Italy in the 1920s - they were from the same village and came to the US on the same ship, but did not meet until after WWII! On my mom's side, one came from Quebec (French-Canadian) but I have not been able to trace her back to France. The other was Canadian too, from Nova Scotia and of English descent.

I love how although Italian-Americans have largely assimilated like other white European-Americans, but still retain so much of their own culture. It's sad that I'm only half Italian though :(

Answer 18

(in order of prevalence)

norwegian

english

cherokee

i looooove the norwegian (porcelain skin, dark hair, strong features)

i love the english as well because it puts a fiery spunk in my attitude

i love the cherokee because it gave me wonderful high cheekbones and luminescent eyes.

Answer 19

I am about 75% Italian

about 10% Polish

10% French descent

the rest is a big question mark: my mom says I am 5% Native American/Canadian native and my moms mom says we are French Canadian, but it is my moms dad who is supposedly native, so I am Canadian I guess!

Irony: my fiance is also maybe Native maybe not. His monther claims they are native american and his monthers mother claims they are philipino, but once again same exact situation for him, it is his mothers father that is supposedly native.

Answer 20

English and Irish from my dad's side, Cherokee and German from my mom's. I love it all because I have relatives of each that are more concentrated, so I get to learn about it all.

Answer 21

Almost 1/2 Greek, Just over 1/4 German, and 1/4 Irish. My last name is Italian, though because one of my grandparents was adopted. I love being Greek and really identify strongly with that part of myself. I love the fact that I tan easily to a beautiful olive color and I love my gorgeous Greek curls. I love the Greek traditions, too. Watch "My Big Fat Greek Wedding--" that's my family, I swear!

Answer 22

im irish and itailian.

i love it.

i have freckles but dark italian hair and eyes,

and my last name is Murphy.

so i love that too
