Does anyone know of a way, whether it be online, through blood tests, etc. for me to find who my ancestors were and what my full nationality is? Im curious but dont know where to look. I don't exactly want to spend hundreds of dollars on Ancestry.com.
Thanks.

If your parents are spanish, you are spanish. Dont mean to ruin the party. If im born on a vacation to guam, im not guamese (or whatever people from guam are called).
Thanks for the info guys/

Contact the Mormon church, everyone knows they have one of the best data bases around for ancestors since it is such and important part of their religion. I am sure they would be glad to help you too. I have seen them trace back 100's and hundreds of years. Before contacting them find out as much as you can from family members and bring the info with you. Good Luck

based on your nickname, I would say you're Italian. So start by visiting Italy and asking the people there if they know your family. You can take a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea and eat meatballs and spaghetti and drink red wine and schmooze with the locals. I'm sure there is a wealth of information in Italy about your family.

I agree with Lotusrain, the Mormon church has the best system by far. Look them up in the phone book under "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints", call them and ask about the Family History Center. They have entire areas set apart with computers and assistants just to help people find their families, and it's all free.

Where were you born? That's your nationality.
That you have ancestors from somewhere else doesn't give you that nationality. My parents are Spanish but that doesn't mean I'm spanish too.

The best way is probably to ask your family. Collect as many stories and stats as you can.

You'll never know. All that is scientist. We all came from Adam and Eve and that was thousands of years ago. They didn't have blood tests then.

It's not free, but these people can use DNA matching to steer you toward an answer: http://www.familytreedna.com/default.asp
