What is your ancestry?

Post Reply New Topic

I once calculated that I was 62.5 German, 12.5 percent French (by way of Quebec), and 25 percent English ( my Dad's side was all german, my mom's a mix of german, english, and french canadian).



Some smattering of Jewish from my Dad's Mom's side.
Maybe a little Irish from moms side as well.

12.5% Irish Catholic
37.5% Scottish - mainly Glasgow and Dumfriesshire
50% English - of which 98% Sussex Weald back as far as I can go. A line from Oxfordshire. A line from Norfolk. A line from the Normans.

Well, that's the best I can do as far as saying what my ancestry is.

If you're interested in your ancestry, have you thought of looking up a Roma Family History Society? A lot of countries have them.

British.

A few years ago I was really interested in it, but I kind of got stuck because my parents came from Hungary, and I don't speak Hungarian. Also, half the people in Hungary have my last name, just to make it more difficult.

That sucks. I wish I could suggest something useful.

1) British
2) Welsh
3) Irish
4) German
5) Dutch

Mostly Norwegian with a smidgen of German and Welsh from my father's side. Most of my ancestry is traced to the Trondheim area to be more precise.

Mostly Scandinavian, some German, and a few other European mixes.

My family genealogy is fairly well-documented due to my Mayflower ancestry, and based on what's written, I'm a classic Anglo-Saxon/Viking mixture:

50% Irish/Celtic

25% German (of that; 50% Alsace-Lorainean). Alsace-Loraine is now part of France, but went back & forth between German and French control since 900 A.D.

25% British

My mother's side came to America in 1651 with a group of educators from London, and they established the school system in Rhode Island. I'm a member of the Mayflower Compact Society, since my original ancestor (Dr. Robert Burdick) on my mother's side, married a woman (Ruth Hubbard), whose mother came over on the Mayflower.

My father's side came to America from Ireland in the late 1800s, and settled in Wisconsin.

Lol wat? (Implying that Wales isn't part of Britain)

I noticed that too!

A good chunk British/Scottish/Irish Celtic but I couldn't say what else may be in the mix, my fathers side at least seem to have escaped the Romans reach and would probably not have bred with them but I can't say about my mothers side so there could be genes from any of the invaders/settlers to Britain. Mostly I would just say I'm Western European with Celtic ancestry, I still live in Britain now and my ancesters on each side have as far back as I know.

12.5% swedish
87.5% danish

I like genealogy, so I have a lot of info on who came from where in my family. At this point it is easier to say what I am not... so far I have found no relatives of mine coming from Asia. I am a mutt...
