edna Posted January 1, 1970 Report Posted January 1, 1970 I am French and I was born in Argentina, my mather is French and my father was both Spanish and Argentinian (son of Spanish). My other grandparents were Russian, half-German, ancestors from Sheffield. They were Jewish so I am Jewish too. My brother&sister are French, Argentinian and Spanish. My husband is Spanish. I had a Greek boyfriend. I wish I was Italian.
TrampledUnderFoot Posted January 1, 1970 Author Report Posted January 1, 1970 Hey, I'm just wondering what everyone's ethnic backgrounds are! I find this kind of thing interesting and it's cool to see what everyone's heritage is... I'll start with mine (besides my home country, Canada) > My dad is from Portugal (born&raised) > My mom's parents are both from England, but she wasn't born there.
invisible_r Posted January 1, 1970 Report Posted January 1, 1970 both my mom and my dad are greek, many generations back. 6 generations back from my dads side, my family is from lithuania or somewhere like that, so that probably explains the hair colour
XXX Posted January 1, 1970 Report Posted January 1, 1970 Native Central American (Mayan) and Spanish. This would make me a "mutt" or "mestizo" in layman's terms. Anyone else notice how some posts and threads disappeared and the dates of these posts are from 1969?
TrampledUnderFoot Posted January 1, 1970 Author Report Posted January 1, 1970 Yes everyone's been noticing this...I have no clue whats going on ::
jman14141414 Posted January 1, 1970 Report Posted January 1, 1970 Lets see if I can name all the stuff I am... 1/4 Indian(from India) 1/4 Lithuanian mix of Russian, English, Scottish and few other things I can't remember at the moment... Yeah I THINK all the new threads are from "69" and "70".
Foxy Posted January 1, 1970 Report Posted January 1, 1970 I'm British through and through. Parent's both born and raised in England, and same for me.
Aunt_Acid Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 My mother is a Dutch-Irish, and my father is a Dutch-Irish. Darn, I wanted to post in the seventies.
katie_sane Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 My family has been in Australia for 127 years. But before that, they came from Ireland (mostly), England, Scotland and Wales.
Levis Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 i'm 100% indian through and through...not only indian but also kashmiri. both my parents are kashmiri as is the rest of my family (duh). it's because my mom and my dad's marriage was kind of 'in-family'. it resulted in some family relations you would not believe! my second cousin is my aunt and so on and so forth... even though my parents split shortly after i was born, its nice to be so... so... pedigreed! ::
Earth-Angel Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I remember posting this before.... My ancestry dates back to Vikings in Scandanavia pillaging their way through to England. My surname means "Man of the island". Along the way they added some British, South African, Irish and Scottish into the gene pool. Interesting mix
MarcM Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I posed this question some time back. Maybe it did not make it through the Songfacts Time Warp! I am 2nd generation Californian. My dad was Serbian and my mom was English and Irish.
edna Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Actually, we have two similar threads going at the same time... the other one is called "Your heritage" and is the one you started, Marc...
Earth-Angel Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 That's it! I wasn't sure what word to search for, but it is "Your heritage"
edna Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Is it possible to put two threads into just one? I wonder how you do this trick... click here! it´s magic...
Earth-Angel Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 No, sadly you can't merge threads sweet Edna
TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Posted March 16, 2005 I didn't know there was another thread like this.
Addictedtoclassic Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I'm not exactly sure what my heritage is, but I know that on my father's side, several ancestors came from Luxembourg and on my mother's side, several ancestors came from France. But that's about all I know.
DiggsUK Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Did anybody else see MT in here earlier? Maybe I just imagined it. My background is pure middle English, which in itself is a mixture of Norse, Pict, Saxon, Moor, Celt, Waloon, Norman, cave dweller.... Regards
Elvish Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I'm a mixture of American Indian (mostly Cherokee), English, and Irish.
Addictedtoclassic Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I'm not exactly sure what my heritage is, but I know that on my father's side, several ancestors came from Luxembourg and on my mother's side, several ancestors came from France. But that's about all I know. I also found out yesterday that I'm part Irish. So I'm a German, French, Irish mix. Does that make me a mutt?
Crazy Don Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I'm part English, as my last name is the phonetic spelling of the British pronunciation of the occupation from which it's taken. I'm part Scottish, as my mother's last name is the Scottish word for church. I'm also part German, as there is someone with the last name of Holstein in my family tree. I'm also part native American, so they say?
edna Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Did anybody else see MT in here earlier? Maybe I just imagined it. No, you didn´t imagine. He´s one of the last posters on the other thread, "Your Heritage", and the date is from last year...
