Do you know your ethnic origins?

My mother’s side of the family are Siverianian and Boykos, my father’s side are Carpatho-Rosyns.

Mostly Irish it seems. I don't feel Irish. I'm too soft for an Irishman. But my mother's side half Irish and British, and my father's side (though a foster child) his last name really suggests Irish.

@KatyO83 I should take some luck of the Irish there and think you have a little Irish background? ☘

KatyO83 · 41-45, F

@thewindupbirdchronicles I have an Irish passport thanks to Granny being born in the Emerald Isle. I hold dual citizenship now.

I an actively doing ancestry research, spent quite some time in various archives, managed to trace ancestors in Switzerland, Germany an England, did a DNA test and traced my oldest ancestor to the year 960.

Not too proud though that some were mercenaries for the French kings...

@Stephie If you can trace it to Charlemagne you can trace it back to the earliest German ancestors. 25% of Americans have a New England Blue Blood ancestors from the Mayflower, have a ancestor from England who was a noble (I found at least 2), and their ancestory goes that exact path.

I checked again about a year ago and got a few roman noble hits. I am also descended from a germanic sea manatee diety, and it's descent is from Troy. Because that sort of stuff impressed the Germans in the dark ages.

I am a total mutt: about 50% English, with the other half a mixture of Scot, Irish, German, Dutch, Welsh, and Scandinavian. I have no Native American genes, so my first Americans were all immigrants.

@exexec Bow before me 🤣

exexec · 61-69, C

@Jimbo7 No. I claim my royal English ancestors as a reason not to bow before anyone.

@exexec Right on

My mum is English and Irish, my biological dad is probably some sort of Mediterranean. Most likely Italian, Greek, or Spanish. Impossible to know for certain

@BigImo that's a lot of words to basically say my family is white lol

BigImo · 22-25, F

@OliviaOfTheNight well one of my mums is Indian so that can't be right 😂

Proud to say I'm as white and Slavic as it is possible to be

I thought i did. I thought i was primarily English but turns out I am Scottish first. Then Irish, English and from my mom I have some Scandinavian. My family originated in Colon France now Germany

My dad was from the UK and was apparently connected to some noble scottish family. My mum was an Aussie and her mum was from NZ with european connections. Both are passed away.

JustNik · 51-55, F

I got as far back as Germany, England, and Ireland. A little closer up, some Native American got mixed in after they came over. I don’t know anything more specific.

Irish Catholic on mum's side. Given I don't know my dad at all I've no idea. My surname is still clearly Irish. I've reddish hair etc. Gives the game away.
