Answer 1

My father and his father our Spanish all the way back....
So is my mothers family ...I am Spanish one of my cousins got a DNA test and it showed we are Spanish, my grandmother thought that was a waste of money she told him he was Spanish for generations

Edit I have mentioned before I was adopted for the first 34 years of my life I was told I was Mexican, English and Apache.......I thought that what was in my blood for such a long time. Now I am still Apache, Mexican and a little English in my heart.......I even helped the
indigenous people take over Alcatraz!!!

Answer 2

I'm a parent of two, and a grandparent of three grandsons.
And I come from a mother of full German ancestry, and a
father of Irish, and Cherokee. I used to say when I was little,
I could start a war within myself and know why. My dad never
talked about his ancestry and wasn't much interested either.
But I met his grandmother and my great grandmother when
I was almost 6 and she was a full blooded Cherokee. My dad
told me, she'd told him when he was young, to be proud of
his heritage. Because her father was a great Cherokee
chief and my dad was decended from a great man. She also
told him she was a princess. But I read years ago, that there
weren't princesses, so I don't have a clue on my great grand-
mothers' claim. She died shortly after I met her back in 1949.
She was very old, but I never knew just how old. She was very respected by the family and well thought of. I remember
having to be very quiet when I was allowed into her bedroom
to introduce myself. She was so brown and wrinkled and had
such a stern look. She scared the life out of me. And when
she didn't reply to my introduction, I ran from the room straight
to my mother for protection LOL. What an impression I must
have made. I never saw her again after that time. She must
have been close if not 100, just from her thin wispy hair and
the extreme aged look of her. But at the time, I only knew she
was very old and fragile. Her image has always stayed so
clear in my mind LOL. That happens when you are scared to
death LOL.

Answer 3

A parent of 2, grandmother of 1.

Mother's family: Delaware and Muscogee Creek Indian, French, Welsh, Huegonot, English.

Father's family: Scots/Irish/little English

Answer 4

HA HA I don't think Sage understood the question.

I'm mostly Irish with some french on my dad's mother's side. My dad's name was Marcel. Mom's side is all Irish but all 4 of my grandparents were born in the USA, so that makes me and Full blooded American.

;+)

Answer 5

Dad's father was English, but his part of the family moved to Ireland in the 1700's. His mother was German (we have been told Pennsylvania Dutch, also, don't know much about that). Mom's father was English, her mother was Irish. So I feel most aligned with the Irish. It feels right. LOVE Celtic music, step dancing, the beautiful country, and green beer.

Answer 6

Scottish, Irish, Cherokee

Answer 7

Eve - I was born in an air raid shelter in London during WW2. No I am not English, but I am British (dual citizenship - am also American - long story). But my Father was born in Haifa, Israel and my Mother was born in Clydach, Wales (just outside of Swansea) - so I consider myself a citizen of the world! CJ
BTW - Suzie q. Scots are British. England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland make up Britain. This falls into the "for what its worth column" - hope it helps. But if you do not know your background - just be proud and say you are an American! CJ

Answer 8

I'm half Irish, my GGP's came over from the old country. Never met them. The other side is Scots, Irish, and English, with a little American Indian.

Answer 9

A whole lot of Irish with a little English and American Indian thrown into the mix!

Answer 10

I'm 100% American
Grandparents/Greatr grand parents came across the big pond from Ireland, Scotland, England & the Netherlands.
Now that's the majority of the ingredients, don't know what else was thrown in for spice along the way.
