Have you tried tracing your family tree?

I don't know much of anything past my grandparents, just that my lineage almost completely Italian. My paternal grandparents were Italian immigrants who settled in New York at first, but then traveled to Arizona because it reminded them more of Italy. While my maternal grandfather was a Catholic missionary from Italy who came to Arizona to preach to the Apache Native Americans, where he met my maternal grandmother who was Apache. So my background is primarily Italian with a bit of Apache. Though I never identify with my Apache side, purely out of respect for the indigenous peoples.

I should try this, as I’m a mix of two very distinct cultures

I've been working on it for over 30 years. I have traced most lines back to the UK and Western Europe in the 1700's or 1600's. I'm stuck in America on a few main lines in the 1700's. I think I know where they came from, but I can't find the immigrants.

We have a book detailing my Dad's family going back 200 years. My aunts were tricked into tracking it all down by the possibility that we nobility in our background.. Although our Great Greatx5 grand father was an immigrant. We don't know where he came from or what became of him when he put his kids up for adoption when his wife died in child birth.

Mums family come from a long line of convicts. One of them was a silver smith and was sent to Australia for coating lead in silver. He worked his time off and went back to England. Didn't like it there and got sent back to Australia for the same crime.

Yes
I have 30% British and 70% Scandinavian descent.
I've traced my ancestry far back to the 1600s, with their names, dates of birth, etc.

Yes, it was a sycamore but as soon as I got near it, it uprooted and buggered off...We have issues in my family.

Dublin is a fabulous city. I've not explored the rest of the country, unfortunately.

Yes! If everyone were made to research their ancestry, with one of those DNA analyses thrown in for good measure, it would destroy any notion of racial purity and focus our minds on what unites rather than divides us.

I have Welsh/Portuguese ancestry on my paternal side; Polish/German on my maternal side.

I have, I learned that my family was a large rural farming family that drained the fens and were deep rooted to one specific location.

Sadly two world wars would change them forever.

yes i have- all the way back to the late 1500"s before my relativescame over on the ships to the new world around 1610. i did not use ancestry.com

On my mum's side we have a family tree back to the late 1700s. On my biological dad's side I know absolutely nothing

Yes. I have quite an extensive tree on ancestry that I’ve been working on for years

Yes, I have.
My paternal side is Mexican with my grandad being indigenous Mexican. My mom's side is predominantly Irish with some Highland Scottish and a bit of Dutch and Breton.
