A post a day or two ago about some ethnic cookie got me wondering what heritage you all are carrying around. I am full blooded Belgian. Only two generations removed.
 
German and English down my mom's side. My dad's, its Quakers (settled on Neshaminy Creek when they got here from Yorkshire) and Scots.
 
Third greneration back on Dad's side from Germany. Setteled in Penn. then to Calif.Two generations back on Mom's side from Norway. Setteled in Minn. then North Dekota, then Calif. I've been in Calif since 1942 the year I was born. That is probably more info than necesary, but that is my story, and I'm sticking to it. Stan
 
My four grandparents were German, Danish, Norwegian and French. Guess that makes me a Heinz 57 varieties!
 

Don't know. Probably Scotch-Irish-English. Did run across my last name on a list of the Mayflower settlers, but I am a loong way from MA and besides 50% of the original settlers died the first winter so I didn't think it worthwile to pursue the subject.

Seventh generation NH native, typical American melting pot including Irish (Civil War), English (Mayflower), German, French, American Indian, Scotch.
 
Dad"s side was German, with Luxembourg, Prussian, Austrian. Mom"s side was German, French. Wife is Finnish, Irish.
 
Mom's side pure Scottish. Dad's side Scottish/Irish. Dad's ancestor's were Scottish reivers (border raiders) who were exiled from Scotland and wound up in Ireland, where they mixed before coming to the "New World".
 
Not too long ago I asked this question of a co-worker. He replied in all seriousness that he was 3/4 Norwegian and 1/3 Swedish. As for me, Dad's side was German and Mom's side has been in this country a long time and is a little of a lot of different nationalities.
 
My mothers side goes back to Lippincott heritage. Richard & Abigail Lippincott came to this country about 1640 from England.

My grandfather on my mother side was German. PA Dutch.(Wenner)

I don't Know much about my dads side, (Evans). Welch or maybe Slovak? No one has ever done a family tree or history and I never thought to ask any questions. My sister is startng to work on our family history.
 
Father was from Germany,Mother was from Switzerland.We came to this country on 11/66.I was born in England.

Vito
 
My wife is a direct desendant of the Mayflower people on her mothers side.Funny how that still holds some weight up in New England.

Vito
 
Last name traces back one generation prior to 1501 in England. Mothers side is "Scotch/Irish".

I'm on a quest to "visit" gravesites of all G-grands on Dad's side including at least 3 in England. Those in USA are gonna be relatively easy to find...I "located" one in Galia (sp?) county Ohio that was "thought" to be Illinois. Want to visit each site...make photo of markers if any...and record location with a GPS.

Might even get to meet some new cousins!!

My father was Welsh Mom was a lot of things but her father William Whitney Kennedy said he was Irish and no one would ever contradict him.
Funny how we are all mixes but claim only one Ethnicity.
I'm Irish and Welsh an I'm sticking to that.

My Great Grandparents came from Jerusalem, and Poland. They moved to Cuba, where my Grandparents were born, they settled a farm in Mexico, and traveled often to Italy. My parents then located in Canada, before moving to Salt Lake City. What does this make me?
 
Hello flying belgian,
Funny the cookies are not ethnic to me HA! HA!
I am 100% GUIDO............CIAO.
 
A Frenchman here. Dad was full blooded. Mom was a mix of French, Scotch and Irish.
Been on the continent a long time - late 1600s at least. Descended from the folks that were kicked out of Acadia. Clan went to Quebec instead of Louisiana. Didn't hit the States till after the Civil War. So I'm taking no blame and paying no Reparations. If you know what I mean.
 
WHAT'S with you Texas guys... all the HOT women down there and you elect a carpet-muncher mayor of Houston... WTH???
 
Dad's mom was English, his dad was full Scott. Mom's mother was German her dad full Irish.

That makes me good ol' melting pot American.
 
7/8 of me comes from Denmark and 1/8 of me comes from Norway. I don't know what kind of mix my heritage is over in the old country. I hear the vikings spread their genes around a lot way back then.

My wife is 1/2 german and the other half is split three or four ways. This makes my children 1/2 Jim and 1/2 Marilyn. How many crosses does it take to create a new breed? Jim
 
My Mother's side were 100% Norwegian, and my Dad's side wasEnglish/Irish. I guess that makes me as stubborn as any critter on this earth.
 
My Father was a British citizen from Wandsworth an area of London. I have dual citizenship. British/American. Mother was German descent.
 
Awesome!!!

I live in a German settlement between two Bohemian settlements. I'm 3/4 German and 1/4 English, but when we were racing stock cars I was the only one on the crew who wasn't a full-blooded Bohemian. The rest of the crew finally made me an honorary Bohemian so it would be unanimous.
 
Dad's side Germany - can still remember my Grandma talking to him in "broken" German as a youngster.
Mom's side - some Irish, some ?????.
Guess I'm going to have to check again! Thanks for the post.
Jim
 
Does the word MUTT mean anything to you? I've got a little bit of several nationalities in my ancestry, mostly German and Scots-Irish, though.

Christopher
 
I"m Greek-American and I suspect the only one to respond so far. Both sides (maternal grandparents and my dad) came over after WW2.

Mom"s side came from Hydra, Chios, Sparta and Dad"s side was from Constantinople via Chios and Patras as well as a little tiny village near Kalavrita where my grandfather (Pappou) was a GP in the mountains. He was one of the first responders to the massacre that the Germans committed in Kalavrita.

My Maternal Great Grandfather was KIA serving in the US Army storming Aachen and that is how I am an American Citizen. The Sacrifices of some gave flight to the dreams of future generations.

Too many citified liberals trying to ruin Texas from the inside out.

Dallas has become the new gay mecca of the country and they are battling over the gay agenda in Fort Worth now as well. Houston has to be in about the same shape. Austin has long been a lost bastion of liberalism that would make you wonder if you're not in Calley-I-Forney in stead of Texas.

The current situation is that out of the 254 counties in Texas there are seven counties with high enough population density that if they vote in the legislature as a block they can run Texas.

Really we see the same thing when you look at the map of the US layed out in Red vs Blue. You have the relativey small population dense areas trying to over rule the vast majority of the rest of the country's land mass.
 
Texan, Red, White and Blue, Proud,Loyal and True.

It also so happens that I'm also an American, mainly by default, but I don't usually bother mentioning it...
 
My grandparents came to this country from
Poland in 1906. I can not be the only guy
of Polish decent on this site. And, yes I
appreciate a good Polish joke.

Mostly Enlish with a little Scottish and Cherokee. Ancesters on my father's side were 3 brothers who came to Jamestown, Virginia with John Smith in 1607. Mother's side were Baileys from England but originally Baleigh from France.
bOTH families migrated through Virginia to Eastern Kentucky. Grandfather bought a farm in Hardin County, Ohio about 1920 and their children followed them a few years later and I was born on the banks of the Sciota River, so guess that makes me a river rat.

I like listening to the Mayflower descendants bragging about their heritage. I just smile and tell them we were on shore to welcome them.

My mothers father came from Norway to Min. USA in 1900 , then went to Sask. Can. and took up a homestead. Mydads great great granda was PA Dutch on his mothers side, and Scottish on fathers side , andthat makes me a north american, and a Canuck.
 
7th Generation Texan here...lost one relative at The Alamo and another got hung for war crimes after the War of Northern Agression...distant cousin sailed with Lafitte but he left Germany before most of the family.
 
My dads family lived in Barren Co Kentucky back to the early 1800's. Sometime before that his ancestors migrated from England and Germany. His dad moved to Edmonson Co, KY around 1910. My moms family claims mostly English and Scottish heritage. We've got some of the origional land grant documents from the governors of Virginia and North Carolina for land in the wilderness which later became Allen Co Kentucky. At least a couple of generations intermarried with the Cherokee.
 
English and Scotish enough to have some blond/red hair in my kids who are the 6th continous generation on the family farm. Our family bought the farm and others as several lots of land from the Crown then re-sold it.
The 2nd owner died when he raced home drunk and didn't duck his head when the horse ran into the shed. His twins that died of pneumonia are buried somewhere on the property as well.
The old building is still there as a chicken coop and machine shed.The beams were not sawed in a mill but hewn with an adz.
Our family then bought the land back and has been there since.
 
Mothers family was mostly English, came to NH in the 1600's. Moved to Ohio in 1818. Dads was German/Austrian, came to Maryland about 1760, moved to Ohio about 1830. Mixed with about everything in the last 200 years, so now I'm 100% Michiganian (our legislature determined we are Michiganians, not Michiganders, and we paid them to do it).
Paul
 
full blood Norweigian .Great grandpa came over on the boat , settled in Eastern North Dakota . My dad ended up transplanted to DesMoines Iowa , I ended up transplanted to Marion iowa
 
100% scots ancestry, been in Canada for 7 or 8 generations in a Scottish settlement in Eastern Ontario.
 
My Mom and Dad came from Sweden in the 20's when they were in their early twenties. Met in Illinois, married, and had three sons. All Swedes in their backgrounds.

Dad changed his name from Pettersson to Peterson when he got here.
 
African american on fathers side asian on mothers.been playing alot of golf over the last few years but gona give it a break.
 
german, scot, swede, maybe some english.
some of mom's mother family came here in 1600s from england maybe.
her dad was from west virginia he left there as a young man he said when he decided he wanted a family of his own he had to leave home as his family had been in the hills and hollers for 150 years and no one new came in so everyone was his cousin.
so he came to geneseo il area.
dad's family his grandfather and his sister ran away from home in scotland and made their way to usa. they had done something to get in trouble at home rather than face the music they ran away. grandpa's mom came from sweden.
i guess that makes me All American
dad's mom family came here from germany in w w 1.
 
Guys, Texas, Home of the Lone Star, We have No Say-So in Houston Politics. Here in Williamson County we are as Conservative as they come, Though the Austin/Travis Co. Liberals, are trying to dilute our principals as fast as they are able.
OBTW, 7th generation Texan also, My People got here after the Alamo. Century ranches on both Moms and Dads side! The old Rock Ranch House was completed in 1850. Scoth/Irish and English out of Tennessee.
Later,
John A.
 
German, Slovac, Austrian....Dads' dad was Pa. Dutch, dads' mom came over from Czech. with rest of her family, Moms' parents families came from Austria seperately and met here. Grandad on dads' side bought farm where I'm living now in 1934 got married shortly after.
Supposedly heritage can be traced to Belheim, Germany and Kahleysburg, Austria.
 
My other hobby is genealogy,most branches of the tree were here by 1720 and the last to come was in 1796, Scot, Irish and English on mom"s side dads were English and Dutch.Our family has seldom stayed anywhere more than two generations. Although we"ve had a present in this community for 110 years.With some leaving and returning later
 
My Great Grandfather and Grandfather on my Dads side were Mescalero Apache,from New Mexico, my mother was Mexican of Mayan decent( she was blond haired and green eyed and spoke very little english). She was born in Mexico, Dad was born in Arizona. Some of the stories my Granddad told were pretty gruesom.
 
100% American.... But you have me curious enough to check now.
You big headed Texas folks just keep in mind that if Davey Crockett hadn't hung his hat on the fire exit sign, ya'll might still be speaking Spanish and eating frijoles :shock:

Just kidding.........

Scotch, Irish,Dutch,English. Family arrived 1768 settled around what is Orangeberg SC. Great Grandfather was killed by a horse and they put my grand father in an orphanage. The family he married into looked down on him as owners of a great deal of land. My mother in her family research found out that the land that they were so proud of came from my grand fathers ancestors. It seems my grand parents were distant cousins.

Grandparents and aunts and uncles all farmers from north central PA,Elkland.But my mom hated the farm life.Moved to Rochester Ny right after high school,Where I was born and raised.Moved to Wayland in the country 12 yrs ago.Still work in the city though.100 mi. a day commute gettin tough though.Try and hang in there another 7-9 yrs.Heritage?German,Dutch,Polish,I think.
 
I am 3/4s English,1/4 German, My Grandfather,(Dads Dad) was in the Civil war and was a body guard for Grant.He was born 100 years before me to the day.I suppose that makes me pretty bad in some parts of the country,
 
[b:654c4848f0]Joe Dan[/b:654c4848f0] since you have so many aliases, it only seems fitting that they should be written in a list.

Consider what could happen when the book is opened and you are asked for your name.

The last words you could hear from him are "Who"s Joe?"
 
Swiss on my Dad's side (he's 2nd generation American, always in WI). On Mom's side, English (Grandpa) and Scottish (Grandma)and have been here on the farm for 5 generations. Grandpa's family came here from MN... out east before that, in the U.S. since at least the early 1700's. Grandma's family farmed in the Chicago area before homesteading what is now my cousin's farm 15 miles south of here. Not sure before that.

James, I think you struck a nerve. :D :D :D
I guess with all those aliases, a person would have a lot of people on his side, ready to back up his way of thinking. :D

Ronnie
 
Dad always said he was "English, Irish, Scotch, Dutch, German, French and Missourian"- about half German. Mom was English and Scottish. My wife is 1/2 Swede, 1/4 Russian and 1/4 Moldovian. When my kids asked their nationality, I always told them they could pretty much be anything they wanted to be.
 
there are lots of people on this forum who have been married more than once. Why do you pick on the Howells?

You also said Mrs. Howell was just an ex-foreigner. Since you're Polish that makes you an ex-foreigner just like all the rest of us. Joe Dan, you're just a hypocrite and presumptuous when you compare yourself to Paul. You are as different from Paul as darkness is from light.

Proof is in another topic you posted about buying Shirley Cigarettes contributing to defouling a Temple of God.
You buy then through Mail order to evade taxes so you don't give to Ceaser what is his

I'd sweep off my back porch before trying to get on others------I know,-- your gonna get this poofed but now you know !!
 
That's OK James. It's gettin towards the end of the year, so he must be running out of money to buy enough medication to keep his schizophrenia under control.
 
Let's not forget the extra postage he's paying to mail Seasons Greetings cards to young children.

Now, now! Do you think he'd be that cruel to do that to little kids and........and.............
Sorry James, I forgot who we were talking about
 
probably arian race here , CAuse all my babies have blond hair and blue eyes ,, about 1820 maternal gran parents left Petersburg Germany and flatboated down the Ohio to Beautiful dubois Co. In , and settled in St. Ferdinand parish area ... About 1858 , Dads side of the family got tired of fighting and going to war to keep their land from the Germans and French in The FERTILE ALSACE /Lorain region,,, So here they come to Loiusvile area , Peddling/Fruit , vegetables , sausages and even Rags ,,Both sides of my Family were FARMER /tavern /restaurant /carpenters / hotel trades ,,, my 1St wife and mother of my children linked her family roots to the same area as dads near French border.......... We used to think it would a been Fate that we would meet regardless ,, turned out it was just a continuation of the turf Wars ... LOL
 
Maybe if [b:654c4848f0]Joe Dan[/b:654c4848f0] understood the true meaning of [b:654c4848f0]zeke[/b:654c4848f0] he could overcome his fears.

You know as well as I that every time [b:654c4848f0]Joe Dan[/b:654c4848f0] writes his last name he is reminded of sin.
 
That's funny I don't care who you are or what your name is. It ain't a good Sunday service till Preacher boy Joey makes a little kid cry.

Do you think he preaches intolerance in church or on his compound as much as he does on the net?

I also wander how they keep the snakes warm up there in the winter time, any preacher that's as much of a nut job has to toss a few copperheads around every now and then.
 
Look at the bright side James, least now he ain't still make'n post with differnet names from the same IP adress. It was really funny when his alter egos would start reply'n to each other! That just shows what a sorry sorry little man he is. When he gets to the point he can remember what he says with what personality I will say there might be hope for him to become a usefull member of society.

Tat's about the size my nephew was when he walked into the shop after we we had hung three bucks from the rafter. One of the clowns with us had put red lipstick on one of them's nose, and told him it was Rudolf, Dasher, and Dancer :roll: . Little guy broke out with a face pretty muck like this little guy...
