It's sort of a joke to myself----I am the Wolfman!

25% English
25% Welsh
25% Irish
25% Manx

I have a Viking face but my dermatologist says I am definitely Celtic
... but most importantly I am 100% me.

German. I'm of Russian and German heritage.

OK I'm Ukrainian with a lil bit of Ashkenazi and Russian heritage. I also suspect some of my ancestors were Greek bc they come from a Greek settlement that later became a Ukrainian village. That's what my grandmother told me.

Maternal side, German
Paternal side, Italian

It is possible I may have some Greek ancestry, too. It would explain my intense interest in that country's history from antiquity to the current financial crisis.

I am mostly Italian with a few other things. People have told me various times "you don't look Italian". I am northern Italian and Sicilian. All because I'm not tan and have black hair does not mean that I don't look Italian.

This is me:

A lot of Italians have German heritage. There is an Italian tennis player, Andreas Seppi, who has a German mother and an Italian father-my exact ethnic mix.

3/4 portuguese, 1/4 austrian (from trieste, so i may have some italian and slovenian too, but my grandmother always said her family was austrian).

Irish and Indian (Native American).

My mother's side: Ashkenazi Jewish from Russia.

My father's side: Dutch, English, German, a little bit of Irish.

I have a funny sort of knee disorder which supposedly occurs primarily among people of "Mediterranean" ancestry. Makes me wonder, somewhat, whether there's an unknown component in my ancestry.

So kraftiekortie, high five?

Yep....High-Ten, if you like!
