What is your heritage?

I'm a mix-breed, lol. ;) German, English, Jamaican (when I say Jamaican, I mean the native Arawak Indian tribe, that lived their first), Polish, Swedish, more different kinds of Indian, Czechoslovakian, Australian and I know there is more but I forget, haha.

    Ive always noticed that being Jamaican seems to lend itself to some wildly varied backgrounds that I really havnt seen in other cultures....kinda cool in my book! My blend is Jamaican, African, Cuban, Belizean, Panamanian, Chinese, Scottish and Syrian. =)

    Mine's not exotic, Irish, English, Scottish, Australian, New Zealand. I MAY have something Mediterranean from way back, i.e. The Spanish Armada. My mother, from The Orkney Isles, has an olive skin tone, which I inherited.

    Half Irish, half Russian, adopted by a family of Irish and German, and raised by them on an American Indian reservation. I like to say that I was born and raised to drink hard liquor, fight bears, and wear the pants as a wife. So far so good. Although I still await my first challenge from a bear.

    African-American, West Indian (Dominica), Native-American, possibly some Irish ancestry (there is talk of a white male on both mother's and father's sides of the family but the elders would not speak of it and some secrets went to the grave...)

    I'm mostly German, but with some English, from apparently a royal lineage, but too far back to matter. Got darker completion from somewhere, but being adopted don't have much knowledge more then 1 generation back.
