Here is a list:

Celtic
Norse
Germanic
Slavic

I may also have a minute amount of Native American blood. I am not completely sure. I heard this from my mother, but it's a common thing amongst Americans to falsely claim Native American ancestry.

1/2 Finnish, specifically Savo though there's a bit of Finland-Swede if you go back to the 1800s. 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Generalized American of German, English, and actually also Finnish descent.

If anyone can figure out what a black Scott is, my grandmother was telling a story of some family shame on her father's side regarding that. Other than that, I have a good mix and even have a famous relative :D
The blood: English, Irish, Dutch, Scottish, German/Prussian, Native American <-- not very original

Born and raised in the USA, by parents who were born and raised here. Some generations back my ancestors were German, Dutch, and a little Romanian.

Jewish. Born in Israel, with some American and British ancestors (just from the last century, as far as I'm aware), mostly Polish-Galician-Ukrainian-Russian (European borders are funny...). Moving backwards a few centuries you'll find some Czech and French in there. There are also a number of generations of Israelis on one of the lines.

Pretend that I wrote something cool.
I'm very Swedish.

I did some family research. I could find a few Germans hundreds of years back in time. Once I did a DNA test. I think I was 76% Scandinavian, 15% Finnish, 12% Balkan etc. I don't know how far back in time the non-Scandinavian goes since it can be traced paper-wise.

Depends how far back you want to go

Born in England, English with 1/4 Scottish and 1/8 French decent.
Go back a thousand years, Scandinavian (Viking).
Go back 6000+ years, somewhere around what is now the black sea area of Turkey.
Go back 80000 years and there is African in everyone's DNA
