I have to add some more Mexican to this thread....

50% Mexican (Dad), 50% German (Mom)

I curse my father for not teaching me to speak Spanish.... My mom makes the best homemade tortillas (Grandma taught her) and my dad makes the best salsa.

I am a bit dark...I tan very easily but I have a big, white birthmark...My mom says she put it there so I'd never forget that I'm half white laugh.gif

My father's mother was Irish and Scottish, my father's father was Scottish and German
My mother's mother is Scottish and Welsh, my mother's father was Welsh and Irish

By my count, that makes me 37.5% Scottish, 25% Irish, 25% Welsh, and 12.5% German....Too bad the German is where the name came from... my Scottish side has some badass tartans

I was going to add this but it was too late to edit. My great grandpa was actually from Ukraine. But it was Russia when he left, and he always introduced himself as Russian... so Russian/Ukrainian happy.gif.

50% Cuban (Dad) and 25% Irish with 25% of most of western europe.


Since posting this, I have discovered that I am 50% Cuban, 25% Scottish, and 25% American. Seriously, I've had a relative die in every war the US has been in since the Civil War. Most of this is Southern so my family was on the Confederate side but, oh well. haha

Even on my Cuban side, it's mostly Spanish. My Grandfather was born in Cuba by pure accident, most of my family is in Spain. I even have a relative who died in the Spanish Civil War and several others who were Terrorist/Revolutionaries for Communism in Cuba and out of Cuba. tongue.gif

Rebel by blood! wink.gif hahaha

My mother's side is Persian.
My Father's side is Irish/Scottish.
...there's probably some things I don't know, as my grandfather was rather dark for being of Irish descent...I suspect some Native American lineage as well, but he never talked about it. Edited by mustang_steve

Both my Mom and Dad are Cuban. I was born in the US. I have traced my last name back to the Vizcaya region of Spain. I also know that My great grandfather on my mothers side Moved to Cuba from China (trying to Avoid communism..LOL).. I'm also pretty sure, as with most islands in the carribean, there have to be some african roots back there. Because I didnt get this dark tan skin from the spanish or the chinese wink.gif

I am Jewish on both sides since Mount Sinai times. Nationality " Palestinian".
We have been Palestinian for 3400 years, though the Babylonians conquered us, the Greeks, then the Romans kicked us out almost 100% as a population. We have a few rare families who never left, and the rest 9 generations or less.

I'm pretty much 100% Pakistani AND PROUD!! My grandpa says there's some Russian in me, like 1/16th or something tiny like that....which is kinda cool.
Born in Qatar, raised in America...never been to Pakistan but I'd like to someday when it's a bit more stable.
