Me? Well, I'm about as American as you can get. My family's history and roots run DEEP in the mountains and foothills of Alabama. A lot of them were farmers and grew up as God-fearing, Christian, country folks who worked hard through life trying to make sure their family had it better then they did.

I'm not even sure where they lived before Alabama..... Several generations have lived there, so we aren't sure! XD I should ask my grandmother.

On the other side of the family, it's pretty much the same thing. My great-great-grandfather lived to be over 100 years old and always told stories about growing up in a fort and seeing Indians. Pretty cool!

*Gasp* Alabama?! That's unspeakably awesome!! I have some incredibly good friends who live in Alabama...I'd love to go see them there someday.

My roots are a lot of Dutch, a lot of Italian, a little Irish, Polish, and a tiny smidge of Cherokee...for which I am extremely proud. But mostly, I'm Dutch. And as I'm not related to anyone famous, that I know of, I'll just say that Obi-Wan is my uncle. Best darn uncle ever, too. XD

LOL XD

WOAH! I didn't know that quite a few of you are my sisters (In the native way of speaking) Mostly Cherokee though thats a long way from the Plains Cree!! Maybe I should put a picture of my pow-wow outfit up here???

Oooh! I wanna talk about mine!!!!

My ancestors came to this great country from Ireland and Scotland in the early 1800s. There are only 9 brunettes in the family, the rest are blonde, strawberry blonde, dirty blonde, red or auburn. I have 51 cousins and 14 aunts and uncles in all. I love my big family. My great grandparents had 8 kids and yeah.

My moms side is french and indian. My papaw's grandad was a full blooded cheeroke. My moms great-great-great-grandmother came to Louisiana from france. Im the spitting image of my mother in the face, but Im 5'10, long legged, blonde haired and I have greenish blue eyes like the McNairs.

I live in small town Mississippi
GO WHO DAT! and the MSU bulldogs are beast!!

And the lead singer in the rock band Three Doors Down is my cousin(6th or something on my moms side)

I am:
1/2 Italian

The rest is:
Mostly Russian
Polish
German
Jewish (the nationality, very little)
English


*My dads side is full-blooded Italian, His grandparents (all of them) came to America.

*My mom is all of the other things, her ancestors possibly came over on the Mayflower.

*Every year I participate in an Italian heritage ball. We eat 5 courses (not including desert, and bread). 2 dishes of pasta, Salad, Shrimp, and Chicken.

*I am hoping that I may have some Native American in me. It's possible, because of the whole Mayflower thingy, but a very, very small chance.

I dont remember who I was related two thats famous, but my great grandfather on my dads side was adopted, so I like to pretend that he was someone important. who wouldn't!

I'm part Austrian, Danish, English, German and Irish, if my memory serves me correctly. No order but alphebetical.

My G.G Grandfather's on my Mom's side both came straiht (like walked off the ship) from Ireland, and my G. G. Grandmother's on the same side both walked off the ship from Holland. So, I've got roots in The Netherlands and Ireland. What interests me, is they left family in the 'old country'. I'm going to make it my life mission to find my long lost family in Ireland and Netherland. My Mom's mom's side there is Scottish and some French.

On my Dad side, I'm French and English.

I'm a mix, but of all the nationalities, Irish and Dutch are the most prominent. A good bit of my Mom's side are Light skinned and Red headed.

My ancestors comes from-
Germany
Norway
England
Ireland
France
Scotland
Sweden
Finland
Denmark
Wales
Spain
Portugal
Holland
and I'm also a little Cherokee Indian.

I'm a direct descendant of Chaucer who wrote the book "The Canterbury Tales". I'm also related to King Charlemagne, Charles Martel, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Queen Elizabeth II(and maybe the first) Queen Victoria, William the Conqueror, two or three Presidents(can't remember who at the moment), some members of royalty, and various actors and writers.
I also know some castles in Europe once belonged to some of my ancestors

That's so cool!!!

Thats INCREDIBLE!

I found out that there's a whole book on the history of my dad's side of the family! I can't wait to be done with my research paper so I can maybe read it! (Btw, I need to get back to that).

I'm Cherokee Native American, Scottish, Irish (where I got my green eyes! ), and some English. Also, if I'm remembering right, a distant cousin of mine is a movie star (just like you Ahsoka! ).

I'm a mix of everything. I don't know that I'm 'mostly' anything, lol. Probably Irish on my Mom's side, but I've got Cherokee blood on my Dad's. English too. Haha, it's weird, cause I've got the Irish green eyes and reddish hair, but I tan pretty well so I look super weird when I come home from the beach! But anyway, regardless, I'm don't know everything that's in me.

I do know that I'm a direct descendant of the founder of the city I live in. We've got roads and parks and lots of things named after us and I feel like I'm related to everyone who lives here! Thankfully, it's through my mom's side so I personally don't share the same last name that everyone connects to our city. Still, when people realize I'm part of that line, it's funny, hahah!

British, Canadian, Scottish. Oh, and guess what? I've got a british accent! Not really....

*ahem* My great-grandpa on my dads side was Mexican and when he came to America and tried to get a job the American's here told him his last name was too hard to say, so they changed it. XDD So the last name my dad got and that I have now is sorta not real. It's better than the old one but I still don't like it.

I have a lot of German blood. I have Native American blood too, and some Mexican and Dutch and like, a bunch of other things. Whatever, I personally think I'm 100% Arizonian. Cowgirls Ftw!!!

Oh, I almost forgot, I am related to someone who was related to someone who was related to the cousin of someone realated to someone who died on Alderaan when Tarkin blew it up. So I have Alderaan blood too. Okay... maybe not.

This is interesting; it actually turns out that the Irish we thought we had is actually Scottish also. XD And I supposedly had a relative who was a pirate. LOL!

I have a little Cherokee, I'm part french (bealive it or not, my great great great great uncle 15 times removed is King Henry the 2nd), I'm part Irish, and a little more (I'm very versitle)
