I'm such a mutt I don't even know! lol I know I have irish, native american and african-american all mixed in on my moms side, I have no idea about my dads side.. I don't even think he knows.lol My FI, his family is pretty much all from England but he doesn't know about his dads side either. We're an interracial couple(I'm black he's white) so.. we have NO idea what our children will look like with the lack of knowing and with all of the different heritages. Should be cool though.
Most of my family "came over on the Mayflower," as they say. The recent (1800s) immigration blood in me is Scotch-Irish and English. But I'm pretty much a white mutt...German, Brit Isles, Netherlands, a little bit of France, etc. I consider myself very much American.
MinMan's maternal side is mostly German American, while his father's family immigrated from Hungary two generations ago.
We're a Mayflower family, too. :) My mom's side traces their heritage back to the 15th centruy England, plus I have a couple French relatives and a German grandmother. My dad's side traces their family history back to 4th century England (feudal records start showing our family name around this time and we can trace lineage from there). Everyone else on my dad's side is English or American (early immigrants).
On my husband's side, his dad's family is mostly French, Canadian, and English. They live on the east coast, mainly in and around Cape Cod. His mom's side is Polish and Bohemian, and they live mainly in Wisconsin.
I don't know all the logistics of where my family came from like some of you bees!
My mom is 100% German and on my paternal side my grandfather is English and grandmother is Polish. I know her parents were 'off the boat' for lack of a better term.
FH's dad is Irish and was raised in Staten Island. Most of his family is still from NY or North Jersey. FH's mom is from Japan. His dad was in the military and the ended up living in Japan for 7 years. FBIL was actually born there!
Both of my parents are from the Dominican Republic, as well as my grandparents
My FI parents are: Guatemalan (mom), Puerto Rican (dad)
but we were both born in the US
I am Norwegian and Welsh on my mom's side...my grandma's parent came over from Norway to Ellis Island and my grandpa's family is Welsh. On my dad's side I think I'm a bit of a mutt...German, English and I don't know what else.
FI is adopted. All we know of his birth parents is that his birth father was a Sioux Indian. We don't know anything about his birth mother's heritage. He doesn't much care to find out, but I have gotten him to agree to genetic testing for both of us before we start having kids. His adoptive parents are Irish and Italian, so we embrace both of those cultures as his.
I am half Irish and half French=) I seem to connect more with my french side as i get older, but i have a very irish name.
My fiance is spanish and israeli. i think this is an excellent combination=D
I was born in Belarus and came here when I was 9.
My FI is 100% Italian. He was born here but his mother was born in Italy and his father is 1st generation.
You know, I'm not even sure about all of it, but we're both Western European mutts. I'm mostly German and Irish.
My last family members on my mother's side came over from Scotland in time for the 1832 Upper Canada rebellions. The earliest ones came in the 1600s. I also have German-Dutch-Swiss family members...meaning they were German but moved around Europe due to religious persecution and finally settled in Southwestern Ontario. Until recently, my mother's parents were geneologists, so we have a complete family history of my grandmother's family from the 1600s and we know about my grandfather's history from the early 1800s. Their whole basement is filled with family history binders.
FI's family is originally from North Korea, but they fled during the war and he was born in Seoul. Thankfully most of his family members made it south together during the war because there are still families who are separated by the border.
My dad is mexican and my mom is german
his dad is french/english and his mom is norweigen(sp?) and french
Lots of diversity! I wouldnt have it any other way
@bamm- thats so cool that you have all that info! I would be all over that hehe
My dad is part Native America, part African American. My mom is African American.....
My FIs dad is part Native American, part African American, and his mom is African American...
It's funny b/c both my parents and my FIs parents now own the same land that their ancestors used to be slaves, then sharecroppers on....it's pretty neat.
wellllll where to start! my genealogy is one of my hobbies! On my mom's side it's pretty much all the same - English/British.
On my dad's side - my father's mother's parents came to the states from Poland & Austria in the early 1900's. My father's father's mother's parents all came from Germany. My father's paternal line can be traced back 10 generations to Ireland.
I love knowing as much information about everyone that I can. What saddens me is that DH's family does not really care and doesn't really KNOW...
I want to try and write it all down when I can so that obviously our children know, but I may not get far...
What I absolutely love and am so blessed to have, though, is pictures like crazy! I have pics back to a few of my great-great-great parents on both sides.
@HoneyBear...it really is! I grew up looking through those books and pouring over the amazing official records they have been able to acquire over the years. My grandparents are now very elderly and I'm so glad we have these records. About 20 years ago they actually went to Scotland and befriended the people who now live on the old family land. Last year the family sent my grandparents a picture of the old stone cottage my grandparents several times great built in the late 1700s. It was so cool to show it to FI when we were in Canada this summer.
my dad is african american and my mom is korea. they met in s. korea at a christmas party while my dad was stationed there. thank you u.s. army for making me possible. lol
my guy is african american with a tiny hint of white mixed in on his dad's side, i believe. i think he's 1/4 or 1/8th...not completely sure the actual percentage.
@tea... like you my dad is African American and my mom is Korean. My dad was in the military and they met while he was stationed there!
My FH is African American, Creek Indian and white.
@sunnyprincess, see, gotta love the military :-) i've only met one person who was black and korean whose parents' weren't in the military! they randomly met at a gas station. lol.
