Answer 1

I would say you're ancestors are from one of the nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway)

Answer 2

I'M NOT good at this at all.....but your skin is simlar to mine, the pale/pinkish color.....which I'm norwegian, slovanian and irish mainly....along w/ the blue eyes and light hair..those all would go....but you do look a bit swedish to me...whatever that means I guess lol.  

Answer 3

You could have any of a number of ethnic backgrounds and we could guess till the cow come home and not get it right.

The only way you will know your heritage is to do the research, starting with yourself, your parents and so on into the  past.

Good luck and have fun.

Answer 4

Joyce gave you the only correct answer.  In genealogy, we don't go by appearances, we go by records,documents.  Also, surnames in themselves don't tell us much as the same surname can cross national borders.

You could be very handsome if you would just comb your hair.

Answer 5

You look Nordic or maybe Icelandic.   Could also have some German in you.

Re: Because of your blonde hair and blue eyes I thought Nordic and Icelandic.   However, you are only 5'7" and they are usually taller.   So, I said possibly German.   But you are only 16 so you have alot of growing to do.

Answer 6

Frankly a photo can be helpful, giving some details or common characteristics of a certain race, but they aren't precise. The family name will be far more helpful in the determination of a race or ethnic background.

While you do show some signs of being Nordic, or German, I am  Irish, but primarily Native American and have red hair, so a photo isn't a good clue of race or background.

Perhaps you would be willing to share your surname which would be more helpful.

Answer 7

Well i'd say irish, or german. you have features of a lot of different places!
