I’m a mutt…Anyone else?
What mixture of nationalities make you?
And any cool stories?

As for me:

Italian
Cuban
Polish
Belgian (Walloon)
British
Native American

Story:
Apparently, some of my relatives where some of the original British settlers.

Many generations back my Native American grandmother ran away with my British grandfather, had to live under an allies, yet was found and murdered for betraying the tribe.

Also, recently found out a grandfather fought for the rebels in the American Civil War and was killed.

    @AJay: Based on your picture, you got the good parts of each.

    I'm Iroquois and German. I think you need more than two parts to really be a mutt though, n'est-ce pas?

    My mom is a full blooded Jew and my dad was born in France. I know Judaism is a religion but we look ( and act) the part. My brother and I have dark skin and dark hair. People are constantly trying to figure out what ethnicity we are. I get Spanish a lot and he gets Italian due to his jew nose. My boyfriend has blond hair blue eyes, I can't help but wonder what our kids may look like!

    Mom's side is mostly Scottish with some Cherokee thrown in.

    Dad's side is Finnish.

    My husband is half German (as he puts it) with his family mostly hailing from Britain on his Dad's side and Germany on his Mother's side.

    Ummm.... German, Irish, Swedish, Polish, French

    Also, my great x like 9 cousin slept with Napoleon Bonaparte, and had a *kitten* child with him. We have relatives in Ohio with the last name Bonaparte. So yes, I am a *kitten* relative of a short dictator.

    Scottish
    Welsh
    German
    Slovak
    Russian
    Possible French
    Tiny pinch of Native American

    But I mostly identify myself as a Scot. I have my paternal great-grandfather's eyes. Super dark and deep set. He left Scotland with his brothers as indentured servants to escape the Potato Famine. After three years, he figured his passage to American (the indenture) should be paid off and ran away.
