Family historians tell me I'm English, Irish, German, French and Native American (Cherokee and Lenni Lennape).

Mom immigrated from SE Asia. My dad I don't know, but I am pretty sure that side of the family is Irish. But there is history of that side of the family in Africa and Germany... I look more like my dad, I am white but for legal purposes I am Asian. Need to get in on that affirmative action in every way possible :twisted:

My understanding is, Shawnee and Cherokee with French and Scottish through my grandfather. Grandma is first generation German American. That's my mom's side. Dad's side I don't know much about. He stated it as Scandinavian via Germany. Apparently his last name is also the name of a town in Germany.
My last name, which I get from my mom's side, is rooted in German, but came from Scotland.

From the in-depth genealogical standpoint, I don't know. From the basic standpoint, I will allow my words to speak for themselves and for people to draw their own conclusions.

Apparently nordic and native american largely...On my dads side they migrated from Belgium but my brother did some digging and found before that our family was traced to Norway before migrating to Belgium and then finally the U.S. But then on my moms side seems like there is British and German heritage for the most part. I mean to really get into it I would have to ask my grandparents and relatives for more specifics, but neither side of my family has really kept any record of 'this is where we were from' type stuff so hard to get a totally accurate picture.

At the very least I know I've got some more Nordic European decent mixed with native american, not sure what sort of native american though. My brother told me that our grandma on my dads side who is the native american, told him she 's Apache, but can't be sure it was serious or if she was joking around...like she's just not that open about it so hard to tell. But aside from not knowing precisely what kind of native american I have heritage from, I have had more than one native american person tell me they can tell I am part native because of my cheekbones, it is always specifically that feature they mention.

Belgian Walloon on my mothers side, Swedish on my father side. My last name is a soldiers name that dates back to a Napoleonic military reform some 200 years ago.

Born and rised Filipino -- whatever people thinks, if it's Asian, or Pacific Islander. I could care less. And, it's too Eastern to be Western and too Western to be Eastern.

Tagalog-Ilongga descent.
My dad's the one from Luzon, descended from somewhere else other than Central Luzon regions somewhere. Probably Ilocano or Pangasinense, or both, or more than that. His parents, grandparents, or/and great grandparents of both sides didn't all came from here. And was just raised Tagalog.
While my mom came from one of the major regions of Visayas. I'm not sure what's more about her ancestry other than just that.
That's as far as I know... For now.

I grew up and raised as a Tagalog. Meaning, I'm bilingual instead of trilingual like most of the Filipino ethnicities. :twisted:

I really should comb through all my DNA in order to determine if there is actually Wolfman in me.

If I write my nationality here, some smartass may connect the dots and disclose me.

Why do you keep telling people you are Wolfman person?

Mostly just Scandinavian and English. With a little sprinkle of Polish.
