    From my mother's side I am part German, French and Native American. I do not know anything about my biological father's side. The father who raised me is 100% Irish, so I joke I got my freckles and reddish hair from his side of the family. :wink:

    Based on my picture, does anything about my background stand out to you?

    What country someone comes from has absolutely no effect and is no indication of what they look like.

    you couldn't be more wrong. unless you are saying that if two Nigerians move to Japan and have a baby that it wont look traditionally Japanese. but thats just stating the obvious.

    as people migrated out of Africa and settled all over the world natural selection made people adapt to where they lived and thus startred to look a certain way. among other factors as well..

    Whatever school you went to owes you a refund.

    That. Your heritage plays a huge role in your appearance, it's called evolution (learned in 7th grade biology). To clarify, your appearance is impacted by the regions of the world from which your heritage initiates country boarders are man made things that don't necessarily follow the natural boundaries layed out by region. From there you are more likely to favor which ever traits have the greater dominance for genetic markers, not to say that only dominant genes are favored.

    My dad's half Italian, and really looks it (dark complexion, etc.), and his other half is Heinz 57 as someone else said lol. I inherited those traits - dark hair and eyes (so brown they're almost black in the right conditions), and I tan up very well - not quite like my dad, but compared to my mom and sister, I'm pretty dark.

    When others try to guess, I tend to get Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, and most recently (and it seems kind of odd to me) Russian.

    I totally agree. It's verging on racism, IMO.

    Certainly there are traits that different from region to region (country to country) but there are also a lot of similarities as well. Many look at me and ask if I am European (broad), Afghani, Lebanese, Spanish, Portugese and a few that asked if I was Russian. I don't take it in offense when they ask me because I am not going to assume it was to be rude or racist but because they think I look like I or my family may have originated there and often is just a question on where I come from.

    It was just a older lady making remarks on what the OP's traits appeared to come from, from her perspective.

    Little old ladies are seldom PC and have earned a pass on it anyway in my book.

    Take it as a compliment. Eastern Europeans, in particular the Polish, Ukrainian, and Russians, at least to me, are some of the most beautifully featured people on the planet. All nationalities have their beauty, but some of the most beautiful faces/features that I've seen come from the Eastern Europeans.

    Are you guys kidding?? Where a person comes from (meaning their genetics and ancestory line) has everything to do with the way we look.. It is how we evolved. It's a proven fact... for example, Eskimos have thicker brows, eyelids, and skin to help protect them from the cold. You can't debate genetics....

    Raised in the US. Both parents born in the US and adopted so don't really know much about biofamily history, but from what my mom knows of her heritage she has some German and Polish blood in her.

    Agreed. I can see s difference in people depending on what region they are from.

    I am almost full blooded German. On my dad's side everyone is German, except one Scottish person who I descend from . My mom's side is the same, German with one Welsh person. We all "look the part".

    If anyone can figure out where the last name "Ply" originated from , please let me know. It is a family mystery.
