True on tempers...he waves his hands and speaks italian...I get annoyed. He claims I have him beat...lol. in the temper department...I jst don't take his doubletalk!

plushkitten

Half Russian and half Spanish

Chameleone

I'm African. Completely 100% Mozambican. Both my parents are even from the same village. But I live in Canada now....

minimum1960

1/2 French - 1/2 Italian. If I dig deep I'm sure there is a profound mix of cultures... You can probably sum it up nicely with:
HUMAN.

happyme67

I'm mostly Maori (New Zealand) with a dash of Scottish.

becjerami

As far as I can trace on all sides (back to the 15th Century) I'm English, Scottish and Irish but born/raised in Australia. And married to a Moroccan lol.

ogosun

LaMujerMasBonitaDelMundo

I'm currently living in Philippines but I'm 100% Latina by ethnicity. I'm half-Mexican, half-Spanish (or should I say I'm half-Native, half-Spanish).

Oh gosh let me correct this. I just saw my previous post & realized that I failed to include Filipino in my list :embarassed: but I didn't meant it that way, sorry. Seriously my genealogy makes my head spin. This was my previous post but to make it more technical:

DAD: Mexican/Spanish
MOM: 3/4 Filipina, 1/4 Spanish

PATERNAL GRANDFATHER: Filipino of Mexican Aztec Indian origin
PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER: Andalusian (from Malaga, Spain)
MATERNAL GRANDFATHER: 1/2 Spanish, 1/2 Filipino
MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER: Filipino

So to make this whole story short, I'm a fruit salad :laugh:

However I consider myself 100% Latina because we practice mainly Spanish/Mexican culture & traditions at home, including the language. This despite living in a non Spanish-speaking country.

carole456

German and Polish from my Dad's side, Irish and Scottish from my Mum's side

gazzajam

duharvalgt

LaVieEnRaw

I was born from the same crack in the earth that bore many other unsightly beasts, such as Richard Simmons and Grizzly Bears.

Also, I'm Armenian.

TomsFZ1

Italian here.

Think "The Sopranos" without all the killing...

dragonflybird

Half Cree and half Irish, but I'm considered full native because my mother was full and she didn't put my father on the birth certificate. I would like to embrace my Irish side one day.

nonafit

Melimoo2012

Hi im new to this forum im from England lived here all my life there is scotish on my dads side and my moms father looked into his history and saw some slovakian or something and didnt delve any further. im mistaken for indian,polish,spanish, turkish and anything else i find i very funny how people cant tell but to me im just english im convinced i was born in the worng country as the cold climate does not agree with me nice to meet you all

mathgirl

Im a Norwegian living in Norway, Norwegian roots as far bAck as anyone could think of, and a tiny bit of Swedish blood.
Still, I look eastern and people always assume im from iran or somewhere from that region. "norwegian? No way! You mean youve got a norwegian passport? But at least your parents are foreigners? Adopted then? You must have been lied to" some people just dont get that norwegians arent all blue eyed and blonde, in fact, most blonde people here are fake blonde

alianf

My Mom's side is English going back to my great, great....grandfather William Brewster who came over on the Mayflower (you can google him). I'm sure there's lots of other nationalities mixed in over the years. My father's side is French and have been in Canada for many generations but don't know much about his side. I was born and raised in CANADA and my family has obviously been there for a long time.

But I now live in Norway. Married to a Norwegian with 100% Norwegian blood. So my children are half Canadian and half Norwegian. I guess my husband's family loved Canadian so much that both his brother and sister also married Canadians and live in Canada.

I have a fair complexion and blue eyes but dark brown hair. I have 2 blonde children (their Norwegian roots) and one light brown. Interesting topic!

blissfuldrake

Heniz 57, probably. Definitely Caucasian...English/Irish American

blissfuldrake

ROFLMAO!!!

Thanks for the humor...at least, I THINK it was meant to be humorous. LOL

swisspea

Interesting, the world is an interesting place

I'm 100% Sicilian, but 2rd-4th generation Canadian on both sides, so I consider myself Canadian. My husband is English/Welsh and a Swiss citizen, and we live in Switzerland now. We met while I was an Au Pair for a family in Zurich during a "gap year". It's so interesting to read of all the other Canadian women who met their husbands abroad- we are an interesting bunch

I'm a total American mutt but my pedigree contains Irish, French, multiple Native American groups (with all records lost so I don't know which ones but all my grandparents had at the most half), Jewish, British, Sweedish, Norwegian, and a tiny sliver of German. I think I look French and Irish the most though with blue eyes, pale pink undertoned skin, and black hair with what I am told the native American cheeks, jaw and my hair texture/type. Which makes sense because they make up the majority.

LesliePierceRN

Being from a line of original West Virginians, both sides of my family are Native American Indian and Irish (black Irish, you know, black hair, fair skin, blue eyes). So, I am square jawed and have high cheekbones, I am short and muscular, with black hair and blue eyes. One perk, though, is that I can 'wear' my Irish skin in the winter and my Indian skin in the summer. I'm very pale in the winter and very dark in the summer.

Lucky. All my family are like that except I'm the only one of the black irish looking people in my family with the skin that burns like no other in the sun. Everyone else gets the lovely dark shade of the native mix. I don't even look related to any of them in the summer...
