    Italian and German and not sure what else from my mom's side of the family. My grandmother never knew anything about her father. Back in the early 1900's, My grandmother's mother was working as a cook in a coal mining camp and had an affair with one of the married miners and got pregnant (I know SCANDALOUS!!!!) she never married and raised the twin girls on her own.

    English and Irish from my dad's side of the family.

    I'm all white...blonde, green eyes, fair skin...however my ex husband is mexican--so my daughter is what she calls "a little brown"--black in the summer, dark hair and dark eyes. People are weird and sometimes rude...one lady actually ?complimented? me in a restaurant at my decision to adopt. UM, no...i'm pretty sure i popped her out all on my own, thanks.
    other kids at parties or babysitter's house don't believe i'm her mom. (pic of us together on my profile)

    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.

    Now that's pretty cool!!

    Mine's pretty unusual. On my dad's side I am pure English, direct descendant of Jane Seymour's family (Henry VIII's one true love). When I was a little kid I told everyone I was related to Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman because that's who I thought they were talking about :laugh: On my mom's side, my Grandma was half African American and half Irish, and my grandfather was Native American.
