What are YOUR secret origins?

**Barkworm** · 02-12-2004, 07:21 AM

I know most of you guys are American but since there is probably no country as multi-cultural as the USA I'd like to know your "secret origins".
Spanish, Irish, Italian, Cherokee, a mixture of everything?
I am full bred Indian (from India

), born and raised in Germany!

bufo · 02-12-2004, 07:44 AM

I'm part Surinam, part Dutch

*damnhooligan* · 02-12-2004, 08:12 AM

Irish and English predominantly, born and raised in the US as a military (*cough*experiment*cough*) brat. I would make a really crappy comic-book superhero.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-12-2004, 08:16 AM

I haven't the slightest idea. I descended from a long line of dirt poor farmers who toiled their whole lives and barely got by.

**Machias Banshee** · 02-12-2004, 08:51 AM

Ooh, this looks interesting. Lesee...

French definitely. One--well, two of our supposed relatives include the famous Alexandre Dumas, the writer and creator of the novels "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo", while his father was a General for the Famous Nopolean Bonaparte...

We got that, Nova Scotian, a lil Puerto Rican, Huguenot, basically anything you can think of except Asian relations..

*Taloniss* · 02-12-2004, 09:16 AM

English, Canadian, and a little bit of Native American thrown in.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-12-2004, 09:36 AM

I'm composed technically of 2 out of the 3 main race classes...the only part I'm not is negroid.

If you want what I know of, here's the list:
Potawatami (I think that's how it's spelled, it's a northern Native American tribe)
English
Scots-Irish (along with their spearate parts)
Welsh
German
Swedish
Italian

So yeah, mostly Euro-trash, although that NA is what makes me part mongoloid.

**Kali** · 02-12-2004, 10:04 AM

Hmm, I'm not too interested in my roots, but I've heard English, German, Irish, and Native American. I had a project in school in which we had to trace out roots, and I lied on it.

*Anarky* · 02-12-2004, 10:37 AM

half english (mum) half swiss (dad). born and raised in Switzerland.

I speak german, french, english and a bit of italian

*Stone Ill* · 02-12-2004, 11:31 AM

I'm a french-Irish kinda guy. Hence my last name, O'Neill.

And I think there's a little English in there too.

raphael90 · 02-12-2004, 01:19 PM

I have Scottish, Irish and English (Wales we think) roots...my ancestors can be traced back to the Irish potato famine and Revolutionary wartime if I'm not mistaken.

*The Defibrillator* · 02-12-2004, 01:37 PM

Part New Zealander, Welsh, German, and Dutch.

**HorseTechie** · 02-12-2004, 01:46 PM

German-English (Wales too), with a lit'l bit o Irish to spice things up.

My father is very much into tracing out his family ancestry. I do know that his dad was an immigrant from England, who came to america in his 20's. The wife granddad married was mostly German, from what I understand. Never got to know her myself cause she died from cancer before I was born. My mom's side is predonimantly German-Irish too, so I assume I am mostly German... even though families past have been so Americanized now there's hardly any "German" influence left. *sai*

I thought Huguenot were the French Protestants...I didn't think they were classified as a seperate nationality.

Anyway, I'm Irish...

26+6=1!!!

*The Defibrillator* · 02-12-2004, 04:21 PM

Huh? Is the math problem a joke?

Demonfox38 · 02-12-2004, 04:40 PM

Savanti Romero · 02-12-2004, 04:43 PM

An American Mutt-

I know of Scandinavian and Italian. Then who knows what else.

Gremlin · 02-12-2004, 05:06 PM

100% pure swedish... Unless you count my moms' granny who was half german which would make me about 1/16 part german or something like that

*Skeletoncrew* · 02-12-2004, 07:32 PM

~~Trunks~~ · 02-12-2004, 07:45 PM
