I'll be honest, I have no idea. It's a big mess of Northern European.

I don't care about my ethnicity too much. I'm American, and that's really all that should matter in this country. On the global scale, I'm a human. Ha.


i never understood that mentality.
i think a person's ethnicity is far more important than being american or canadian. being a true american or canadian should really mean that you are a native indian since everyone else immigrated to the land.
when people ask me "what are you?" i will always say "chinese" because that is where i get my culture and traditions from.

Eh, it depends on where you're from and what you have to go by. Most of my family's culture and traditions stem from America on my father's side as they've been settled in Texas for 6-7 generations now. I also have had very little contact with any of my relatives, as I've always lived far away from all of them, so the only family traditions I know of are related to my immediate family rather than my ethnicity. When you get right down to it, though, I'm not a big fan of German or Scottish traditions.

But at least you know you're German and Scottish. I've never understood how an educated adult (adopted, extreme circumstances, etc aside) could not know their own ethnic makeup/ancestry.

I only know about one side of my family definitively. That side is mostly English, with a little Scots. If you go back far enough (near 800 or 1000 years) there is Norman French and Irish.

According to the genealogy stuff I looked into I'm descended from Edward I of England (... the bad guy in Braveheart) and Prince John (... bad guy in Robin Hood).

Members of my family has been in the US at least since 1610 - one landed at Jamestown, VA that year and another in 1617. At least two Revolutionary War soldiers and a Confederate soldier are in my direct lineage.

Half Mexican, quarter Dutch, quarter German. My dads mom came from Germany just before WWII with her dad, or so I've been told. My Mexican side is like 3rd or 4th generation here. Only speak/understand a little spanish, and I don't even really look Mexican... not even really dark. Heh.

Austrian- name is derived from Vienna, also might be derivative from the wine makers. wiens or (Viens) Vien= wine. However my family has been German Mennonite until the rise of the first world war where they left for Russia, then before the second world war they relocated to America and settled in the largely German settlements in the Midwest.
