Rob E Dangerously Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 (this may not apply so much for the Australians on the board).. my father's side lived in Northwest Arkansas for awhile, some of them are still down there. my mother's side is either from Germany via Iowa (her father's side) or whereever in West-Central Missouri Yay German-Irish! you guys?
kkktookmybabyaway Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Both parents lived in the Pittsburgh area. That's all. I have no clue where I came from other than that. My mom was adopted, and while she's tracing her roots I don't give two shits about it. Whenever she lets me know about my "new family" I just skip over reading that. Legend has it that my one great-great-great-grandsomethingorother was found along one of those wagon trails back in the 1800s. But I really don't care about all of that though -- I'm an American...
Guest BDC Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Scotch-Irish heritage. Meaning not only Scottish and Irish but Scotch-Irish refers to a group of Scots that relocated to Ireland in the 1900's. Oh, and I have some Black Irish in me too.
nl5xsk1 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 German on my father's side, Irish on my mother's.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Some scandinavian mess.
lomasmoney Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 my grandfathers were from Arkansas and Mississippi respectively, and my grandmothers were from Michigan( but moved from Alabama as an infant) and Ohio. I'm mostly black but on my dad's side his father's grandfather was white, and my mom's side has a whole bunch of racially mixed people along the lines.
Guest T®ITEC Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Mom's side is, basically, "Western Europe's Greatest Hits!" Lots of French, English, some Irish and Scottish,... Dad's is more German than anything. They first came to Ontario before WWI, then spread out in Indiana and a bunch of other terrible places like that. Back in Germany, my family was nothing but theives/goat herders/copper miners. All in all, I think there may have been two non-white people in our family. One was, supposedly, a Cherokee woman that Sam Houston slept with.
Slayer Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Irish-German And yet, I'm a cheap drunk
Red Baron Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Hungarian and French. No wonder I like wine, spicy seasonings on my food, and pastry.
Dr. Tom Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Mostly Irish and German. My maternal great-grandfather emigrated from Germany, and his eventual wife emigrated from Ireland. On my father's side, there's some more Irish and German, along with English and (sigh) a smidgen of French.
razazteca Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Filipino being held down by the White Man of Scotch/German orgin.
Corey_Lazarus Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 My father's grandmother was born and raised in Glasgow, and moved to America with her husband, who was from London. So my dad is primarily Scottish and English, more so Scottish as his mother's grandparents were also from Scotland and Scottish-laden villages in Canada. My mother is half Portuguese, as her father was from Portugal and moved to America during his teens, and her mother has roots in France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, and even Spain, I think. I like to consider myself a Scotchuguese bastard.
Lord of The Curry Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Irish and Dutch. Though when people ask I usually just tell them Irish because nobody cares enough about the Dutch.
The Metal Maniac Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 My grandmother was German, my great-grandmother MAY have been a native American (we honestly don't know), and the rest of my family are either Irish or Scottish, though most of the Irish part has been in Canada since the 1700's or so.
{''({o..o})''} Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 About 90-95% German, the other 5-10% is a mixture of pretty much everything European. We have traced our family back quite a ways, with a defrocked Cardinal from the Catholic church being one of the more notorious members.
MooreMark Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 India and Pakistan. My ancestory goes into Iran though.
The Czech Republic Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Oh, I'm a pleasant bunch of things. On my mom's side, my ancestors moved from Bohemia (which would later become my username) and Poland to America. My dad's side is German, Quebecois, and English. My great-grandfather on that side was Jewish too, and I shit you not, looked exactly like Groucho Marx. This makes me a Beaver-trapping Nazi Limey Polock Czech Jew.

Guest Vitamin X Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Lots of you Irish and German bastards around here. And yet we Hispanics are supposedly the majority in this country, and almost no representation here.
Guest scapegoat Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 I'm Irish/Australian My Dad was born in England (Although he is 100% Irish) and my Mum was born in Australia (Her family has been in Australia basically since the early 1800's).
teke184 Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 1/4 Australian (May be technically Scottish instead... Grandmother's from Aussie land but her maiden name is associated with the Campbell Clan of Scotland) The other 3/4 is a mix between German, Irish, Italian, and several other ethnicities, mainly from Western Europe.
razazteca Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Lots of you Irish and German bastards around here. And yet we Hispanics are supposedly the majority in this country, and almost no representation here. Germany is the Fatherland while majority of the hispanics are in hiding just like the Dames and are using alias to hide from authority.
Guest Horse hockey! Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Dutch German from my paternal grandfather's side, a mix of English, Welsh and Irish on my paternal grandmother's side. French Canadian on my maternal grandfather's side, French and a hint of Native American on my maternal grandmother's side. I prefer 'mutt'.
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 How many centuries/generations does it take for your family to be rooted in a country?
The Czech Republic Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 ^Self hating power hungry rich joo with hair on your back? No! There's no hair on my back!
Giuseppe Zangara Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Half-italian, with scandanavian and jew making up the rest.
