Where Are Your Ancestors From?

[EponaOwns]

Mine are from good ol' Sweden, germany, italy, french canada and ireland:)

[Hylian Hobbit]

I have ancestors from Spain, Panama, Italy, and Greece. I know I have more from other places as well, but those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head. My mom and her family are from Panama, and I lived there for a while myself when I was little.

[Petman1325]

Based upon last names, Chagnon, my dad's ancestors are from France. My mother's, Clarke, would be from Italy.

[linkman8]

Well my ancestors come from quite a few places, so I'll list the major ones and the smaller ones.

Major- (Germany, England) <- biggest
Minor- Scotland, Denmark, France (a little tiny bit), and a quite a bit from Norway

[Josh]

I think the two biggest ones that are in my head right now are Germany and Czechoslovakia. Can't remember the rest.

[Amelie]

All the ancesters my parents tell me about.. and there parents and grand parents are from Norway and Germany ^^

[chrisbg99]

Hmm, Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Norway and I think I have a little American Indian in me.

[UsayEldaZay]

my dads from spain so im guessing thats the ticket!

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

I'm like, three fourths French and one fourth Spanish.

My middle name is even French. DeLee

[Y2K3]

Most of my family comes from Scotland, but a few are from England.

[Smitie]

As far as I know all my family comes from the Netherlands, but I never investigated the whole family tree or something.

[kpllk]

I only know that some are from Canada. My Grandma can speak French. That is about all that I know. I also know that me, my mom, and my dad are all from U.S.A.

[Claire]

Where are my ancestors from? Well, quite the question - since I am such a devotee to genealogy. The following are the countries of origin I have evidence to support:

Ireland, England, Scotland, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and the United States*.

*I have some ancestors which were part of the Blackfoot tribe, located in Montana-Canada.

I currently have absolutely no information about the origin of my father's last name, because they arrived in the United States before Ellis Island was constructed to keep documentation, so there is no one with my last name on record.

So far, we've found connections with Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary, and Belgium. There is a staggering population from Norway with surnames extremely similar to mine, by spelling and by pronunciation. So until I am capable of finding the connection between my last name, the valley where they originally settled, and manage to find some documentation - Norway is the closest country to hold my father's ancestry, as my own.

I hope to be successful, and so far I was able to find one Irish family all the way back to 820 A.D.

[zeldusfanaticus]

irish, spanish(basque to be specific), danish, and hungarian.

ive learned from stories told to me by my grandparents that i am related to some kind of royalty from spain, denmark, and hungary, the irish weren't so lucky.

the spanish bit is that the king went and had affair with the maid and the maid ran away. Denmark, the daughter of the duke loved the stable boy, dady found out, they ran away, duke send assasin who kills stable boy(that is 100% true, the first im not quite sure) Hungary, related to royalty but got banished during the rise of communism:(. and somehow all these people end up having children who have children who come to america.

those poor irish-men came over and settled in pennsylvania. ooooooo.

[Axle the Beast]

I am of Irish, Scottish, Polish, and German descent.

Possibly more, but that's all that I know of.

[Keats]

On my dad's side, we're German and Irish. On my mom's side, we're Native American (Seminole, if you want to be exact) with some English. I think our family arrived in the U.S. in 1912 or something to that effect, so we're relatively new.

[DisappearingMist]

"What" are they from? Human beings of course!
I'm a European mutt. A mix of quite a few countries in Europe, like Swedish, Irish, German, and quite a few others I don't know.

[octorok74]

Here comes a list: Germany, Italy, Canada, Poland, Ireland. I'm also part Bohemian and Indian. There are a lot more, but I don't know what they are.

[bellum]

I cant rememeber them all but I can say Ireland,Poland and Africa and that's all I can think up of right now I"ll edit my post to see if I find out any more

[Master Link]

My two biggest are Germany and Croatia. I also have some Irish in me, somewhere.

I know there are some other, smaller ones that I can't remember at the moment.

[El Bagu]

Unfortunately I do not know. But if I ever saw them I might punch them and then ask them the following: Why did you chose such a cold country? :lol:

[Y2K3]

So, it seems that if you go back far enough (like... 1000 years) some of my family MIGHT have come from somewhere in Scandinavia - most likely Norway. I personally think this is very interesting.

[Vincent]

My old people traveled here by boat from Sicily. That's in Italy. Not much else to say on the topic. I guess if I had to say something to elaborate... it'd be that I've never been to Italy.

[Made_Of_Win]

Mine are from Ukraine, England, Poland and America.

[Kaynil]

As far as I am concerned: Mexico, Spain basically.


...yep that's it.

[LucarioMaster]

Here comes a list: Germany, Italy, Canada, Poland, Ireland. I'm also part Bohemian and Indian. There are a lot more, but I don't know what they are.
germany, italy and ireland (part german, part irish, all italian)

[Akiranon]

Holland?

Hehe, one of my grandparents was French. I guess that makes me a Frutch, then? :P

[Kokiri Kid]

New Zealand, England, Ireland are where my ancestors are from.

[DCMN]

Mainly English, but I have some distant Welsh heritage somewhere.

[ResidentZelda]

form Spain and El Salvador (the smallest country in Central America)

[Stella3000]

Most of my ancestors are from Norway. However, I also have ancestors from Ireland (quite a bit from here, actually. We were able to trace back our last name to an Irish family's last name that was a bit different from ours now. It was 'Wraithbone'.), and then I have some ancestors from Germany.

[MrMosley]

I believe that my ancestors on my dad's side of the family came from England way back, and the ones on my mom's side came from Germany. At least that's what I was told when I was younger. I wish I knew more about it, but I never really think to ask.

[Zeruda]

Spain and Japan. That's it. :/

My adoptive father, on the other hand, is Native American, and so was his adoptive father. His adoptive mother is of the Page (dunno if that's the proper spelling) family, which is some rich family with ties to England.

[Mike Pothier]

I'm very German, though my last name is French. I'm guessing most of my ancestors came from Germany and my branch of the family picked up the name at one point.

[Y2K3]

Apparently, if you go back far enough (as in hundreds/a thousand?) years, my family may have been in Scandinavia. I think that's pretty neat. It would definately add some interest to my quite boring heritage.

[Shnappy]

My dad's side is Swedish, and my mom's side is Irish. But mostly, I am good ol' American.

[linkman8]

But mostly, I am good ol' American.
So you're mostly Native American then? :P
Sorry, I ask that of everyone who says their ancestors are "American".

[Liah]

As far as I know, I'm 100% Samoan, baby ;D. I've been told I miiiiiiiight have some Niuen or even German blood, but no-one knows for sure. So, ya, I'm a tropical island gal livin' in New Zealand at the mo'.

[Mases]

I use the two generation rule to decide. Meaning, if your grandparents were born in a America, and your parents lived in America, you are American. Otherwise it gets too complicated. Like the Native Americans... How Native are they? They likely came here sometime before since history leads us to believe civilization started in the present day middle east... and humanity apparently started in Africa. So are we all Africans? Middle Eastern?

I was born in America but my parents are Armenian. For all common purposes, I consider myself a 100% American born Patriot. :)

[HeroofAges]

The direct family line is Scots but we've intermarried a bunch so there all kinds of things in my history.. I even have family in Peru and the Philippines.

[bellum]

Irish, Polish, not much. There could be lots and lots more, but that's all that i know of.

[Spreeze]

I'm 50% Norwegian, 25% English, 25% German, according to my parents.
Most people in Minnesota are Scandinavian... O_o

[Master Kokiri 9]

Oye chicos and chicas this is so confusing my ancestors are from just about everywhere. ill just name the biggest ones. cuba, checklasalvackia (never could spell that), italy, america (native american), and ireland just to name a few. And yeah im the muttiest of mutts... YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT CHICO/CHICA?!?!?!?!?

[Bob Majinki]

*points to avatar*

Aside from that, Greece and Turkey, and very very very distant East Asian ancestry.

[Zarom]

Me they come from Normandie, in France. Now I live in Quebec! :D

[Bob Majinki]

I've decided to be more accurate. The darker the shade, the more ethnic relation I have to the nation:

[Dragon565333]

Irish and German is all I can think of But I am a little bit Swedish.

[Len]

no, i have no outside-country family, i am an 100% american guy (american prevail, as same as american proudness is the same, toghether makes a big and true difference about life)

[Blood Wolf]

Norwegian and Swedish on my dad's side, and some Indian and Irish on my mom's side.

My dad's side loves to make some weird jokes about my grandma since she's 100% Swedish and jokes about Norway to my grandpa since he's the same percent Norwegian as my grandma is Swedish. o.o

[Hazel]

Oh, no... So here goes:

-Sweden
-Denmark
-Norway
-Germany
-England
-Scotland
-Wales
-Iceland

Whew... That's it! I have many , many, many, many roots all over this part of the world!

[Mandi]

As far I can tell my ancestors are from Germany, Poland, Italy, England, and Ireland. There may be some Dutch in there too.

[Pocket Asian]

Umm... I think all it should be is Korean and Mexican. Korean on my mom's side, Mexican on my dad's side.

[Xinnamin]

I'm 99.99% certain that I am pure Chinese, all ancestors from China, myself being China-born as well. However there is that 0.01% doubt since my dad once told me there's a slight chance his great granddad may have been of Jewish blood.

[Zeruda]

Oh, no... So here goes:

-Sweden
-Denmark
-Norway
-Germany
-England
-Scotland
-Wales
-Iceland

Whew... That's it! I have many , many, many, many roots all over this part of the world!
Whoa. ;o That's a lot, I bet researching your family history would prove to be very interesting.

[Hero Of Spirits]

I've never been asked that question, so I don't really know. But, I'm guessing my ancestors came from England. lol

[TriforceHunter]

I knnow my parents came from northern Mexico and that I also have family/Relatives in Southern Mexico, California, Nevada, and Alaska. Yet I also think we probably got some Italian on us.

I was born in L.A. btw.

[Apple]

Germany, Belgium, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales! Maybe France. And of course America as well. I'm a very European person...

[Dark Princess]

Well, let's see...

I'm part German from my dad's side, and part Polish from my mom's side. I'm also possibly part Native American on my dad's side, but I'm not sure.

[Tom]

Most of my family is Italian, some might be Swedish, some are Portuguese. Many of my ancestors left their homes because war was striking there/nearby. As far as I'm concerned, they were all peaceful people, and the Italian ones worked on the production of clothes.

[ChargewithSword]

Mine are from spain, I don't know how to get more precise, then again I suppose I have some ancestors in Cuba.

[Bigelover88]

I'm dutch but partly german from my mom's side. My great grandmom was german and my last name sounds belgian/french and according to my granddad from my dad's side their roots are going back there too.

[Yoru Yama]

My family is from Italy and I'm part Mayan (from Guatemala.)

[PureLocke]

Mostly Irish(McCauley/O'Reilly) but with a good chunk of German(B[oeck-ach-oock]mann) and an 1/8 Inupait(north-western Native Alaskan) then a slew of other stuff.

[zack125]

My ancestors came from France centuries ago. But I also know that my great-great grandmother (from my father's side, I believe) came from Scotland.

[mandym287]

Ireland is a big one... I also think I am part-English.
Oh yes, and I mustn't forget Hylian. :P Naw... I wish. ^^

[kokirion]

just 100% Dutch, and I'm sure because my family tree goes back to 1450

[Ember Incubus]

I am 100% mediteranian. My father's side is 100% Armenian and my mother is mostly Armenian. My mother's side has a little greek and egyptian. Those three roots are the only ones anyone in my family knows about. =S

[Ikana]

I only know a few and that's from my mom side and my dads side.On my moms side its mostly Irish and a little German.On my Dads side its Scottish,Irish,and mostly German.My Last name mostly sounds like its from Scotland due to the Mac part of it but I don't know if that's true since that's what my teacher said.

[athenian200]

My recent ancestors are supposedly from Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.

But according to DNA testing, my distant paternal ancestors are most likely from northern Finland. My distant maternal ancestors are most likely from Austria.

Y-DNA: I1d
mtDNA: W3 (and my STR markers line up most with samples from Austria).

[Icetomeetyou]

Ireland, Sweeden, Gemany, Britain, and I have some Native American in me too.

[Nye Pendragon]

Nearly all of the relatives on my father's side are mixed between Irish, Scottish and American Indian,
while my mother's side is German, mainly.

so... yes. X>

[Baysiderulez]

Dad's side - Norway, Sweeden, Germany

Mom's side - Germany

I know theres other ethnicities involved... to the point I'm 1/16th Norwegian, but I'm not quite sure the actual break down.

[Xizor]

I'm mostly German, but some Irish and English.

[DuckNoises]

Well, on my Mother's side, my ancestry is mostly British, with a little bit of Irish, Scottish, and French. Fun fact: My great grandfather owned a major tin corporation, but went bankrupt sometime around the invention of cheap plastics. :xd:
My father's ancestry is primarily Polish and Russian, and partially Swiss and German.

[Majora16]

My parents and grandparents were all born in Canada (Where I live). My grandma on my mom's side is full Ukranian, my grandpa on my mom's side is full Scottish, my other grandma is full French and my other grandpa is half Scottish and half German. So I'm Canadian, Scottish, French, Ukranian and German.

I also have a fun fact like DuckNoises. Two, actually. My Great Great Grandma lived until she was 102 and I met her on her 100th birthday. The second is that she used to live in Ukraine until she was 14. She came to Canada alone. Her friend bought her tickets to go on the Titanic for her journey from Europe to Canada but the tickets apparently didn't arrive on time and she had to take a different boat. If the tickets arrived on time, she would have gone on the Titanic. I don't think I need to explain what would have happened if she DID go on it..

[Meego]

I am English along with many of my ancestors but there were also Spanish and French people before me.
