Let's see... I think this is right:

3/8 English. 2/8 German. 1/8 each of Lithuanian, Sweedish, and Norwegian.

And I think that's pretty close to exact. I don't think I have anything else mixed in there, even a little.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

The one's I am aware of;
Irish, Scotish, and German from my mom's side.
English, Irish, Scotish, German, Cherokee, and mountain folk from my dad's side. I swear, my paternal grandfather's family just sorta one day appeared in the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee.

 

[Panda]

Im Scottish on my mums and dads side. So im 100% Scottish

 

[ChickenProphet]

English, Anglo Saxon That's all I'm aware off, but I most likely have other stuff mixed in there.

An update. I'm no longer 100% American.

I finally got a hold on some family history a cousin has researched. I guess I'm primarily "New American" for the past few hundred years but now I've got a trace back to England along two lines. One from probable Germanic or French origin considering my familial name. Another Cornish from an ancestor I've traced back to the 17th Century who has a decidely Celtic (Cornish) familial name of Chun.

I'm still trying to find out more from one of my 19th century ancestors who is claimed to have married a Creek. And one of my great-great grandmothers is Jewish.

Who has time for all this? The one thing I've been able to guess at is for the past three centuries the majority of my ancestors are from Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee...I'm a southern boy. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm directly related to John Lambert, Oliver Cromwell's general.

This geneaology stuff is neat but who has the time for researching all this? Other than the Mormons?
