Mom's side Swedish. She was born in Sweden.
Dad's side Irish, English and perhaps Native American. He was born in the USA.
I am USA born.
My husband is USA born but all his grandparents are Italian. His mom and dad were USA born.
So we have the Irish and Italian moody craziness sometimes making an awful storm. It's fun. LOL

Some very white Portuguese ancestry, a hard-to-measure amount of either Native (Brazilian) American and/or African (or both), who knows what else.

Well I took a genetic genealogical test a year? ago and discovered some odd things and a confirmation of what I already knew. Some kind of Germanic/Celtic Hodgepodge with sources being Northern France and the Rhineland. Have some Ashkenazi Jewish relatives somewhere as I carry genetic markers unique to their group. Spanish/North African mix in there as well and some Native American. I think the only continent I am missing out on is Asia. Ha.

And South America... and Australia... but I'll forgive you for not including Antarctica.

That is quite awesome! I wish I could do a test as well someday. I think it's nice to know where you're from, how your family ancestors have migrated, etc.

Actually I have some distant relatives who live in Argentina or Brazil? I can't remember but somehow I had family get there and spread their seed somehow. I think the fascinating and slightly disturbing thing to think about is how much of the spreading of ones relatives across the globe came about due to warfare during certain periods.

My earliest American ancestors came on the Mayflower. My last immigrant ancestors showed up in 1890.
English (both sides, maternal line), Irish (remotely, one great-great grandparent = 1/16th), Scottish (both sides), Welsh (distant, late 1700s). German (paternal line), French Huguenot (distant; through one sixth-great grandparent). Croatian (1/8, one great-grandparent).
Whenever anyone asks I usually say "British, German, and a little bit Croatian." I'm probably around 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 English, 1/4 German, 1/8 Croatian, and 1/8 miscellaneous distant stuff.

I've gotten hold of some more research.
I'm American. That's my ethnicity. Sure I have found two Englishman born in the 17th century around Yorkshire, one Jewish man and woman from Liepzig born in the 17th century and some relatives from the Middleton's of Alabama derived from the Creek.
My ethnicity is American.
American. Such a hard concept for so many people.
