Answer 1

1. I am a mix: English (from the Bermician border peoples along the Scottish border, from settlers of 1826 and up to 1911), Jewish ( from my mother's mother born in Jerusalem to an old Jewish family of that city, my great-grandfather Isaac,(born 1870, Jaffa) to his Russian-Jewish first wife who died in childbirth, 1900; Latvian, Polish and Byelorussian, and through my maternal grandfather, indigenous Australian (Pjatjantjara tribes, which go back 40,000 years). But I look like a blue-eyed Slav.

Don't even try asking me for percentages on these ethnic groups! I know I am 1/16 indigenous; variegated Brit is close to 50%.
