Your Heritage, what is it?
What is your blood heritage that makes you? Doesn't need to be very anally specific down to the hundredth percent.
For Example (a fact example): I'm mostly German (I think it's West German I need to ask my Dad on that), Portuguese, Dutch, Wales, Welch, and less than 1% Native American (Sioux Indian Tribe). What's your heritage? |
According to my mom, I am German, Czech, Scottish, and whatever the Hell Scott's Irish is supposed to be. I don't really know how much of what is in my blood, other than my great-grandmother was Czech.
|
From Scotland and Ireland
|
I'm about 1/4 Korean, 1/4 Native American, and the other half is mostly Scottish, but probably has some other stuff in there that I don't know. It's the Native American and Scottish-mix that shows up in me more, even though the Korean blood is so purely Korean, I'm distantly related to an old Korean emperor. |
I had a German great-grandmother (one of our ancestors was a duke who built a cathedral that I think is in Austria) and some Irish, English, and Cherokee blood. On the other side of my family, I'm descended from an English knight and have some Scottish ancestors.
|
I'm mostly Irish and welsh on my mom's side. I call it's Isle-ish since here family tree is from all over the British Isles...
My dad's side is Polish and Serbian. That's it really... |
Don't take this as a weird thing, but I envy people who have a varied heritage....
Supposedly I'm Taiwainese (meaning, descended from the CHinese people who moved to Taiwan several generations ago...) because that's what's been written down, but I could be part native Taiwanese (like, aboriginal Taiwanese?). No one knows for sure whether the records are true, because, you know, some ancestors faked their heritage to be able to proudly proclaim shit. Not too much going on on my side. |
There's nothing special that I'm related to like high royalties.
My great grandfather got marooned by the navy in World War 1 in New York City because he had Turbirculoisis from Germany so he lived in the basement of a hospital with no education and doesn't know how to speak to the Americans for a long period of time(cause well, he only spoke German) Then he learned the language and being taught by the nurses and doctors and became a voulenteer at the hospital for German immagrants. |
|
I'm a mix Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Native American, French, and probably a smidgen of everything else somewhere along the line.
|
Native american shows most in myself... but other then that a white mutt. I don't know much cause my mom is adopted and my father's family cut ties with mine.
|
Well I only know a little about my dads side, my family never talked about their heritage much. According from my dad though I am a very small amount Cherokee Indian and mostly Irish.
|
I'd say it's 70% Scottish, 20% Irish and 10% German from what I can tell. Well, the more well known parts.
|
-envies on people-
|
My last name is Scottish. The rest of me is English, German, and my grandmother was French Canadian with a line of Native American ("American" as in the continent, not the United States: they were Native Canadians. xD) but I really haven't traced my genealogy back to specifics. All I really know are surname origins.
|
My last name is German for "people who are disticted as the maker of collars or the people who are famous for wearing them"
So I'm a pet by name XD http://genealogy.familyeducation.com...age?detoured=1 |
My last name just means "Son of Arthur".
So yeah. That. Duuulll. :< I still like the Scottish-ness of it, though. <3 But uh, you know that they probably don't mean "collar" as in "the thing that pets wear". It's "shirt collar". |
it's a middle high class name but when you first read it people usually think of pet collars
|
i don't really know the percentages,other than irish, spanish, and french are the main 3.
irish, french, danish, german, spanish, cherokee, and mexican apache. |
I've got spainish, irish, viking, Native American, German, some Icelandic, and some African. My last name is Snyder, which is a term for the son of tailor in german.
|
My first name is Irish (the way it's spelled is Gaelic) for pure I haven't checked my middle name yet
|
Welsh and Scottish. My Grandad is...oh sorry, was, Scottish and my Mother's side is Welsh born and bred. Though I think there is some French there because of my mother's maiden name.
On a spiritual level I am thinking I might have something a bit more in my family, because I have a knack for magic and fortune telling. But no-one has told me anything, so it's not official. XD |
Why is Epsy envious
|
I am just a big mix German, French, English, Irish who knows what else is in there. . . Though I am just Canadian I haven't had any ancesters from any of those countries in generations.
|
My name goes way to to the ancestors of the aku tribe
|
Dad is 100% African American + Mom is 100% Native American = Me 50% African american, 50% Native American.
|
Mexican, Spaniard, Omaha Indian, and French...
|
Hm I know that ancestors on my mom's side came from England to here(America) at some point. I looked it up and apparently there's a few different things it could mean: "The name was derived from the Old Norman name HEREWARD, and meant army-power.", could be named after a place it mentioned, etc.
For my mom's maiden name I found: "It is generally accepted as deriving from the personal name Nicholas, itself of Ancient Greek origins" |
I am mostly Irish, with some Indian and German. You can tell that I have some sort of Irish in me because I have red hair and can drink like a fish :P
|
@seagullz: XD that made me laugh
hm...my heritage. well, I'm mostly filipino (Philippines)...but I have spanish, portuguese, and malaysian blood in me. |
I can't remember the exact percentage..
But first of all of course I am Danish (since I live in Denmark, and my family is Danish too x3) And then there should be some Italian, Faeroe (Islands), German and Norwegian heritage too Oh yeah and Gypsies too... |
I am a Northern European Mutt ;D
Mostly Norwegian though, followed by Irish. I believe there's some German in there as well. |
Half German half Croatian. * 3*
Mom's German and dad's Croatian. x3 I didn't even know Croatia existed until my dad gave me a little history on my family. |

Irish, Scottish, German, and Native American. My mom is Irish/Native American, and my dad is Scottish/German. When my ancestors went to war, they stripped down naked and painted themselves blue!
|
I've checked, and I'm officially 100% Dutch.
|
I'm 75% Welsh, and 25% English. :)
|
I am for the most part, Polish. My grandparents are from Poland and my other grandfather is half Native American... so I have a lot of both.~
|
I am German, Czechoslovakian, Italian, Swiss, Native American, Austrian, and I think....Dutch?
|
I don't know my fathers side in the least bit so half of me is unknown. The other half is German, Hungarian and Dutch.
