    Born and raised Canadian - but my heritage background is Dutch (on both sides, I consider myself as being mostly dutch), Irish, English, French, Polish... I'm total european, haha!

    I have relatives that live in the US too, but i'm not sure if that counts as my heritage being American also!

    Surname Glover, so Welsh (probably a healthy mixture of general UK in there)

    Mom's side, strait up Russian, grandparents/great grand parents got out just before the start of WWI and moved to Alaska.

    Husband surname Green, so Irish (he actually has the immigration records from both sides of his family) with a fair amount of Native American mixed in. Great grandma who was Anasazi and some Cherokee from his dad's side.

    I'm a mix, but I'm probably about 3/4's Native American. The rest is a mix, but predominantly Dutch.

    Very European-American.

    From my genealogy research, I've found German (Mecklenburg, Wuerttemburg, Prussia, Bavaria), English, Scottish, Irish, French-Canadien, Welsh, Scots-Irish

    I go by my genealogy research, but from my DNA admixtures, I have West Europe, East Europe (Prussian ancestors were in present day Poland), Great Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia (from the Vikings raping and pillaging my British ancestors I suppose). I also have traces of pretty much every other European group. I also have a very small trace from the Caucasus region.

    ETA: Several of my English ancestors came to the US via Canada.

    My mothers side is English/Scottish, My aunt did an ancestry.com thing and found a passenger manifest from the actual "Mayflower" as pilgrims named 'Smithe' that she can trace the line to. Apparently Benjamin Merrill, A captain of the Colonial Carolina Regulators, was also an ancestor of mine. He was hanged for Treason after the first battle of the American Revolution in 1771.

    My Dad's side is less clear, but by all accounts, traces it's roots back to Immigration from German/English heritage immigrating to America around 1800.

    Somewhere along the way there was some Cherokee and Hispanic added to the line, but I only know that from offhanded comments like 'Oh, your Dad's Great-Grandmother was half-Cherokee, etc.
