English and Irish mainly. My dad gave up on doing the family tree when he got back to about 1000 people named Murphy from County Cork, Ireland, lol. Bog standard, common anglo ancestry anyone?

I do have a german great grandmother on my dad's side though.

I'd like to put in an order for some Asian or mediterranean genes though please. I'm a bit tired of being a boring looking pasty white brown haired green eyed caucasion, I need a bit of something exotic in my blood.

Me= AmeriMexiRican? LOL... :biggrin:

Typical American mongrel: Scots-Irish and Irish being the largest contributers of genes, with a strong line of Welsh, a few genuine Sassenachs, and a couple of lines further back of French, Dutch, African, a couple Amerindian tribes, and heaven only knows what else: that's as many as I can determine via genealogy since 1635. :)

That being said, when my children started school, I told them that when officially asked their ethnicity is AMERICAN and their race is HUMAN, and if any bureaucrat wanted to press the matter, to send them to me.

I'm African-American, though I usually refer to myself as black. I have maybe an eighth of Choctaw Indian on my mother's side. I'm not sure about my father. We've had some trouble tracing our family tree, though we're trying.
