Many people there seem to have Dutch ties.

I have a little Dutch ancestry too, when I'm not doing my Ebola schtick. The Dutch get around.

No one says that. We say mate, but what the hell does Bonza even mean? Or is it just a Toowoomba thing?

Bonza, you know good? I'm pretty sure it extends outside Toowoomba...

EU citizen of the Italian variant here.

STRAYA!!! Woo, yeah, it's not that great.

Wow, you must be quite the geographer/demographer.

It´s about nationality, not heritage/ancestry....

Unless you are a half citizen of Ireland, and you qualify for 3/8 of Russian and 1/8 of Chinese citizenships....

Take a wild guess. If you get it wrong...

Pretty sure bonza = good. Apparently, it's also bonzer and it means excellent/first rate.

At least it's the sort of word you'll find in dictionaries. Unlike, say, churr (this is a New Zealandism that even its users tend to be iffy on the exact meaning of... I've decided it's basically yeah).

I haven't had the chance to trace anything on my mother's side, though.

My great grandfather was a WW2 corporal. from what I know >.<

So many generations. For perspective, my great grandfather fought in WWI.

If you mean South Africa in general, it can't hurt that Afrikaans is largely intelligible to Dutch speakers (I've heard it's easier for a Dutch speaker to understand Afrikaans than the other way round but, honestly, I don't know).

Estonian living in Estonia.

I'm 75% American and (apparently according to my dad) 25% Polish. I'm as white as one could possibly be.

It's always "kind of" possible. My grandmother, for instance, managed to acquire an Irish passport, presumably through similar means given that she was born in NZ and at least one (or both) her parents were as well. Interestingly, of the seven children she had with my grandfather only my mother was born in NZ (which she was not pleased with when they came back here because the NZers on the boat they took had to do some cultural performance or some such... at this stage my mother would've had a Scottish accent, according to her at least).

I'm an American.

I didn't know Native-American is a nationality, did they get their independence?
