I know I had a chunk of ancestors that came from Luxembourg, and a chunk that came from Germany.
I've been told I also have English, French, and Irish in my ancestry, but it isn't as well documented.

Although I grew up an orphan, with no family at all, it turns out I have an immense family, which I've only discovered in the last 5 years. Sixteen half brothers and sisters, umpty-nine nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews, even a couple of great-great nieces and nephews. My family tree currently has 273 people on it, dating back to 1740. Not bad for an orphan, eh?

English, French, German, Ashkenazi/Eastern European on my mother's side.
English, Scot and Melungeon/Creole (Spanish, Sub-Saharan African, Native American, likely a lot of Shawnee/Cherokee) on my father's side. That's the best known lineage. My mother's side is better documented.
I'm mixed up really well.

Can relate. I grew up not knowing most my family. But I'm not an orphan I just ended up removed from my dad's due to severe neglect and placed in the care of my uncle and aunt. My background is more complicated then that tho. Very very complicated. I have a half sister, and several foster siblings. Recently have had lots of people claim to be family but know nothing about them.
That's interesting as its my mother's side that has the better documentation.
I received an Ancestrydotcom package as a gift one year and gave it away. My ex and my daughter are obsessed with their ancestry. Me...not so much.
Going on what I've been told, I have Polish, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish in me.
I'd be more interested to learn about my past lives.

I'm a Heinz 57: Mostly north & western European 95% and also Amerindian [Me'tis]. My main orientation and identity is mostly Scandinavian, especially Swedish.
I used to be more interested... but I decided it might be best I don't know(regarding past lives).

Mostly alien, I think. I have never felt completely at home on this planet.

Crap. I should have simplified mine. White, black and native. I'm a thoroughbred American.
Exactly. We're Americans. Lol.

23 & me breaks it down like this:
99.3% Northwestern European, further broken down as:
88.4% British & Irish
10.8% French & German
With trace ancestry as:
Southern East African 0.3%
Indigenous American 0.3%
Broadly sub-Saharan African 0.1%
It used to list Ashkenazi Jew as a trace ancestry at 0.1%, but that disappeared after they had a recent data breach, so I'm not sure what that's about.
None of the European ancestry was due to recent immigration, rather to immigration in the 1600s.
I am half English with the other half composed of Croat, Austrian, German and... There is genetic evidence of some Asian ancestry in that mix.
British. White, blue eyes, blond.
Scottish (Gunn clan) on my mother's side.
Viking on my dads side.
Going back further (6 to 10k years), the black sea coast of what is now Turkey.

I thought you emerged lovely from the sea like Botticelli's Venus.
That pic of me is over used.
