    My siblings and I were the first in our family born in America. We're all Irish, though my grandad was born in England. So technically I'm American, but I'm a UK citizen and have an Irish passport. Figure that one out.

    I was born in Pembroke Pines, FL but raised in Miami. My mom's parents are from Cuba they came in the 60's and my dad is Salvadorian, so pretty much I consider myself a mutt hehe. But I grew up with Cuban, Mexican, and Colombian influence due to my mom growing up in California (Mexican Influence) and my aunt's husband's family is Colombian and his mom use to take care of me as a kid. I like to think of myself as just being a proud hispanic. I know about different hispanic cultures and I enjoy every single one of them as well. :happy: :bigsmile:

    And now I'm curious to see when me and my boyfriend decided to have kids because hes Irish and German I have dark brown hair and light brown eyes and he has reddish/blondish hair and crystal blue eyes.

    My boyfriend is Irish his grandmother was actually born in United Kingdom but she came to the States when she was pretty young. As I'm hispanic I think its amazing to get to know people from his heritage and get to know more about his culture and he pretty much knows all about mines because he grew up with hispanics here in Florida. Am curious to know is there anyone with Irish backgrounds I would like to know about his culture as I plan to marry him one day hehe.

    I'm half Greek and black :)


    My great grandfather immigrated here from Greece with his wife and then his son married a woman who lived in Greece that he brought to the states :) My dad, who is the greek one, lived in New York and since he was in the military came down here to North Carolina where he met my mom!

    I'm from England and I am mostly English with some Irish on both sides (my closest Irish ancestor being a maternal great great grandmother from Dublin), although two of my maternal great great grandfathers are unknown. There's more distant Scottish (mainly on my father's side), and Welsh (mainly on my mother's side), whilst there are some pre-1600 lines that are not fully 100% proven that come from all over Europe.

    My family tree includes relatives from various countries, as well as some famous people, including most US Presidents and Samuel Gorton (he's the brother of my 11x great grandfather).

    Is anyone else on 23andMe?

    I understand.. I hold both an American and British passport...So Indian by heritage, British by birth, American by choice
