Daddio: Texan with blood tracing to Irish and Scottish routes

Mum: South Korean

People don't know wtf I am other than I'm a sexah tabletop playing mofo but that makes it all the more fun.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Shouldn't all Aussies and Septics just put down 'immigrant' and be done?

I can say this, because due to me genuine heritage (listed above) I am pretty much indigineous to my country. So nyah.

Sorry to poke holes, but there is no such thing as Scotch.

You are either Scottish (or Scots for short, which I will accept) or an alcoholic beverage called Whisky.

Scotch is a word invented by cretins. (and no, the irony of using a French word when espousing my national pride is not in fact lost on me!)

**Emperors Faithful**

Strange you should say that. Becuase then you would ask when does it start?

After all, Aboriginies migrated to Australia in ages past. So where exactly do you draw the line?

(BTW, no here claimed to be aussie heritage, we've said that we're mostly descended from anglo-saxxons)

**Cosmic**

We're all decended from African monkeys. End of.

**Hawkins**

Canadian, so take your pick, i garentee you'll get at least one right answer. However Im most proud of my Algonquin.

**Redbeard**

I'm English. My uncle is into genealogy, and traced us back as far as the 1300s, to a church record that stated simply, "Died of plague." (So whenever a doctor asks if I have any family history of anything, I always mention plague...) I'm a 1st generation immigrant to the US.

This is disturbing. Given that people match up in pairs, to be a third Japanese, you'd need one Japanese grandparent, one Japanese Great-great Grandparent (on another side), one great-great-great-great Japanese grandparent on another branch, and one more, on another branch, that's like 7 or 8 greats back. And that's still not quite a whole third.

The odds of getting such a strange combination, without getting other Japanese mixed in, is astronomically small. Are you sure you didn't mean a quarter or a half?

**greenskin lynn**

to the best of my knowledge, i've got some odd mix of irish, german, russian and cherokee

**saitani**

Pure norwegian, Atleast for the last 350+ years thats how long i can trace my heritage on my fathers side. On my mothers side it's a little unclear before the 1850's Maybe a hint of swedish/fin.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Fathers side, pretty much all Welsh, possibly with some Scot in the past as the family name originally comes from the Scottish Ross family.

On my mothers side English, as far I am aware. Its one of those things I might look into properly one of these days.

Actually I'm half Taiwanese, half Chinese.

Wait.

**Albatross**

Dad's side: Ulster as far back as ...meh.

Mum side: Apparently one of my ancestors was killed when William Wallace sacked York, so English as far back as that. My mum did the research on this, but I'm a little skeptical.

I was born in Middlesbrough. That's all that matters.

**smiling Assassin**

Mum's French, her family's basically expats, half from Alsace, half from Provence. Dad's English, really boring family history, basically blanks out in my mind. The French side is all interesting, with corsairs, Napoleon, and Resistance all thrown in.

**Cheese Elemental**

Mother's side is British and father's is Irish.

Boring, boring, boring.

Yeah, put THOSE two together and nothing exciting EVER happens.....

**Ultrafool**

I am Full Mexican. My father is from Mexico City and my mother is from some place that I do not know of.

**Albatross**

So how do you know she's even from Mexico at all? - I smell a conspiracy! As for 'full mexican' - does that mean Native or Spanish mexican?

**hawkeye**

Father's side: Hungarian, Austrian
Mother's side: German, Norwegian

3rd generation on both sides.

**Mad Monk's Mekshop**

Mom Welsh/scottish by way of New England
Dad: Welsh by way of the American South/Texas

@R3n3g8b0y - Now, now.... Don't you know German nationalism NEVER ends well...?

**Brotheralexos**

I am Pure Armenian on my fathers side, and pure italian on my mothers

**Black Blow Fly**

My mother's lineage is from Mexico descendant from Spanish Castellans who emigrated there. Somewhere along the way some Azeteca blood found it's way into the mix. My great great grandfather was a Mexican general who fought in the revolution versus Pancho Villa. My great grandfather was a Catholic priest and graduated from Havard, translating a version of the bible into Spanish. My grandfather was the black sheep of his family.

My father's lineage came from Scotland and can be traced all the way back to the Druids. One of my great uncles was a general in the confederate army and wrote the novel entitled Ben Hur.

That's not really possible.
