We got him a Kwik-E-Mart hat for Christmas as a joke, he wound up wearing it all the time until it got really dirty. But he's only half Indian, his mom's side is pure redneck Murkin, with sketchy cars parked on the grass and Thomas Kinkade paintings in the house and all.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

43. I actually worked at a Kwik-E-Mart type of place one summer.

It was so hard to not break into the Apu voice. ;)

[Hand]

20. Mom=Japanese, Dad=Jewish

They met at Berkeley in the mid-1930s but had to move to Chicago to get married due to the Yellow Peril laws in California. William Randolph Hearst was big on those because he was scared of biracial children--I'm his worst nightmare! :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

33. Hungarian and Italian

People tell me I don't "look Italian" because I have green eyes and auburn hair, but I do get both from my mother's side. I think the people who say that are thinking of Sicilians for their idea of what Italians look like, and my family's from Rome.

[ceile]

Don't know much about my paternal grandfather's family. We think maybe they were from Scandinavia originally.

[Dulcinea]

... my dad had a German Jewish mother, and a German Socialist father (who had a Jewish grandmother).

Tracing my mother's family back, it's a lot of Jews marrying Catholics or Christian Orthodox and moving from country to country around Eastern Europe/Russia.

German and Russian, two cheerful peoples, are my happy family tree.

[Cabcere]

68. My dad is German-born

and my mother's ancestry is Irish and English. :hi: Nothing too exciting I suppose, but there you go! :)

[SoxFan]

69. Irish

That's it. Well, ok, there is some Norman blood if you want to trace far back enough, and maybe a bit of Spanish or Portuguese (my mother and my grandfather are unusually swarthy for full blood micks). But I'm sticking with 100% Irish.

Mrs Bluedog is a different story. She's got bits of English, French, Dutch, Norwegian, and Confederate in her.

my mom will accept it again. My dad is from Canada and he's not French so it's English for him.

BTW I dated a guy from One of those countries, (I honestly don't remember if it was Yugoslavia or the Chech republic and he told me that Looked like an eastern European woman. I found that interesting because we usually only label people by looks if they are darker skins like Italian or something else quite different......to us that is.

[hyphenate]

86. Canadian

Newfoundland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,

Beyond that, all celtic: Scottish, Irish, English. I don't think there's any Welsh there, but you never know.


Now, in real life, it stays Irish and English mostly. If I go back another generation, I might find the Scottish again. (I was adopted within the family, my egg donor was my adoptive father's sister.)

[ironflange]

87. ukrainian

just that and nothing else

[JTG of the PRB]

88. Irish, Scottish, English, Welsh, French, German, and Greek.

That's what I know of for sure. All but the German is from my mom's side of the family. She has a few fairly detailed family trees going back about 200 years. My dad doesn't have any family info like that, though his grandparents did supposedly trace back their family lineage nearly 300 years, so... Who knows what else could be in there?

[no name no slogan]

89. A whole pile

Scots/English (Scottish/English borderlands to be exact), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Czech and Slovak. I also have a forebearer who was illegitimate, so there's probably something else in there I'm not aware of, either.

[nemo137]

101. Irish (Catholic and Protestant) on Mom's side, Irish of various types and Pennsilfaani-Deistch
