What was your primary ancestry's action figure? Feel free to create one.

50% Norwegian and 50% total mutt here. I'm going with Viking. :viking:

Well I am the common blend of Anglo/Saxon/Norman/Celtic so I too will go for the big hairy Viking with the drooping mustache and a big sword.

The overwhelming majority of my ancestors were from Germany on both sides of my family. I'm also 1/4 Native American (my biological paternal grandfather was a full-blooded Arapaho). So... I'd wager I'm about 75% German, 25% Native American.

Since Germany is my primary ancestry, I'm going to ignore the obvious sinister figure and pick a blonde-haired Oktoberfest attendee wearing liederhosen. :)

I'm a mongrel, but with more claim to the Borders than elsewhere.

But it's the long past, and only good to sing about;

They are gone now, the killing and disorder,
They're just ghosts now, the brigand and marauder,
And we give thanks for peace on the Border,
And we give thanks for peace on the Border.

50/50 Anglo Saxon/Irish mix with MAYBE a bit of African/Asian origin, but I can't be sure of that.

So... a black Celt in a Viking helmet? ;)

Hmm... I didn't expect so many vikings. I'm going to change mine to the viking-pirate-penguin chilling in the tropics shown below. :-)
