What is your ancestry?

[Washington Resistance Army]

Yes, I'm mostly English. First ancestor that comes to mind came from... Gloucestershire, in 1632. Though I did have a couple more who arrived in 1607 - we know less about them.

Which, come to think of it, means I probably have cannibals in my ancestry, considering they survived.

... Why/how do you know so much about your ancestry?

He isn't the only one, I can track my ancestry back to the late 1300's in Scotland.

I think I can trace my ancestry back couple hundred years. From mom's side at least.

[Kraylandia]

My family come from what is now Nothern Ireland and Scotland. I haven't bothered to do much official research on the subject. Doesn't really matter to me.

Damn right, it's not like I'll ever need to know these things but I do anyways.

Northern Europe. Pretty much any Northern country you can name I'd likely have an ancestor in it.

And yet, I'm brown-haired and green eyed. Take that "Aryan race" [/quote]

English, Irish and a little Mohican.

Heh, I know the general area where from but I have no idea what ancestors did, were, et cetera. I can go back, maybe to my great-great grandparents?

[Ava Ire]

I know there's a bit of Irish blood in me from my mother's side.

I don't know anything past my parents. Can hardly say I know them either.

I wish I knew more about my Asian side. My white side can trace back with documents all the way back to the 1500s. But my Asian side can only trace back to my great grandparents, or a tiny bit further with word of mouth.

Actually I just went and looked at some of the documentation we have and the farthest back I can see is 1160 when King David of Scotland invited a number of Norman nobles north. My ancestors were granted lands around Keith in East Lothian, the more you know right?

I have some Cuban and Native American in me my grandma came from Cuba on my mom's side and my grandpa is native american on my dad's side.

[Anakletos]

As a pangolin, I believe my ancestors originated from somewhere in central Africa. I've heard rumours of Gabonese descent, but nothing is certain.

My great-great grandmother fled to America in the late twenties due to anti-Semitism, she left her children, my great grandmother and great grand uncle in Europe, they arrived in America a few years later. The least I know right?

[Communal Ecotopia]

German, Irish, and English. Side note, I am also a direct descendent of Charlemagne.

How direct? Not hard to be a descendant of some degree when you're of Western European heritage.

Oi, might want to watch out with that word. I read that it's kind of a slur.
I don't find it offensive (given that I'm American and not even full Irish), but someone else might.

I'm proud of my quarter French heritage! In ancient and medieval times it was France French, in more recent times it was Québécois, and than for the last two or three generations it was French American.

There was only one generation that didn't speak French: my dad.

But I'm learning French and I plan to move to France one day, the land of my ancestors!

My grandmother was born in Maine with Québécois ancestry, but I'm from Tennessee

I assume being born in the US, which is more in-line with nationality, since the US is a melting pot of immigrants.

Should the English start specifying whether their earliest ancestors on the isles were Celts, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Norsemen, Normans, ... ?

America has been settled for many generations, it's been over 200 years since it's independence was declared, and America has it's own distinct culture(s) that children born there are raised into and immigrants are expected to assimilate into. At this point, people can most definitely say that they have "American" ancestors.

American culture and identity is an "identity of identities" as it was intended to be. I don't see why that would be a hot button issue with you. Immigration to the US didn't cease in 1776, and has been a major contributor to the nation and its unique cultural identity.
