    I come from German and Irish stock, that migrated to Australia in the 1850's.
    Hence my liking of a good beer.

    domain: eukarya
    kingdom: animalia
    phylum: chordata
    sub-phylum: vertebrata
    superclass: tetrapoda
    class: mammalia
    subclass: theria
    infraclass: eutheria
    superorder: euarchontoglires
    grandorder: eurarchonta
    mirorder: primatomorpha
    order: primates
    suborder: haplorhini
    infraorder: simiiforms
    parvorder: catarrhini
    superfamily: hominoidae
    family: hominidae
    subfamily: homininae
    tribe: hominini
    subtribe: hominina
    genus: Homo
    species: mostly sapiens with a little bit of neanderthalensis



    btw whoever named the superfamily, family, subfamily, tribe and subtribe hominoidae, hominidae, homininae, hominini and hominina really needs a slap upside the head. I mean what were they thinking??? "I know, let's take 5 taxonomic groups that are going to be easily confused, and give them really, really similar sounding names just to make them even more likely to be confused and so totally confuse the heck out of all biology students for like forever, mwahahahahaaaa"? Cause it sure seems that way.....

    I'm all Irish (every little freckle of me). I live in England though. My fella argues that I should now call myself English as I have lived here longer.....

    Heritage is almost entirely Scottish with a little Irish making up the difference.

    There's a bit of other stuff floating around in there but it's like single-digit percentages. Both of my parents coincidentally came from heavily Scottish and Irish families.

    moms side: Indian, and we believe some English and or Irish..
    dad's side: Polish, English and possibly some French.
    I'd love to see where my family tree goes back to...

    Paternal: French Canadian back to the 1600s, including some First Nation blood mixed in there. Going further back is Normandy in the 1500s. Dad moved to the US when he was a kid.

    Maternal Grandmother: American (New England) back to the 1600s, then England (I can do "Daughters of the American Revolution" twice over if I wanted to).

    Maternal Grandfather: American back to the 1830s, but Germany before that and about a hundred years of marrying within the German immigrant community. I look a lot like my Grandfather's side of the family and used to get mistaken for German a lot when traveling.

    Ah, us post-colonial mutts.
