What is your ancestry?

Post Reply New Topic

I would like to try a DNA test one day to find out all of my true heritages.

Since I have Hawaiian ancestry I think it would be cool if I also had some Asian heritage. I know a lot of Asians travel back and forth to Hawaii and have settled there and I heard that the oldest Chinatown in the U.S. is located in Hawaii.

That would explain my fascination with Asian culture.

50% British
30% German
20% French.

I was born in Canada in 1974.

"Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the twentieth century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead.”
Arundhati Roy

“We are all one race. The only difference is the color of our skin, and that comes from how close your ancestors lived to the Equator or at high altitudes like Tibetans. There have always been tribes, but what we have to appreciate now is that we live in a global community. And tribal loyalties…they’re not relevant to our future.”

Mostly German, with some Irish and Scottish and a splash of a few other european countries.

A quarter English and a quarter Scots from my Mum's side (she has traced back both lineages for many generations.)
Uncertain about my Dad's side because he was adopted; he was definitely born in England, but the very pale skin, freckles, and red beard that I inherited from him suggest maybe a Scots or Irish connection.

I'm mostly European.

What with my mother's maiden name, I'da thought I was ½ Scottish, and ½ English from my father's side. But AncestryDNA says it is 90% English and only 1% Scottish. So much for the Scottish heritage.

100% English (50% Cornish though!)

Atlantean

On my fathers side, Swedish going back to at least Napoleonic times.

On my mothers side, Belgian Walloon.

50% Swedish - Father
50% English - Mother
100% Canadian

Almost entirely English with a little Cornish.

Based on my user name, people might imagine I'm Russian but, as far as I know, I have no Russian ancestry. There are a lot of German people in Russia, however. My interest in Greece may also explain my interest in the Balkans (Serbia, Croatia). My Mediterranean heritage could explain my interest in Spain. Two of my favorite tennis players are Spaniards, one is Japanese and one is Russian.

I'm mostly German and Ukrainian.

I'm 98% Chinese, according to 23andme.

What is that?
