What is your ethnicity/nationality/heritage? (OOC)

[Mercy Rosenburg]

I'm from the United States of America!

Anyway, for those interested, my father's side of the family is Irish and my mother's side is English.

My own grandfather (my father's father) was born in Ireland and came over to the USA looking for a better life. Unfortunately, that was during the 1930's (Great Depression) I think. My father said that my grandfather even had trouble finding work because there were signs that said "Irish need not apply." But he did eventually find a job with Gillette. Anyway, our Irish ancestry is royal - our family coat of arms (see below) has 3 lions, which apparently means royalty:

The McMahon Coat of Arms

My grandmother (my mother's mother) is very interested in geneology and had our family tree traced all the way back to the 1500's! That's how I found out that I apparently had ancestors that came over to America from England on the Mayflower and also that I am related to:

John Adams, second president of the United States of America! That of course means I'm also related to John Quincy Adams (John Adam's son and sixth president of the USA), Samuel Adams (John Adam's cousin who was responsible for the Boston Tea Party), and Abigail Adams (John Adam's wife). They were all from Massachusetts, and I was born and raised in the town of Stoneham, MA (which has a population of about 22,000 people and is less than 20 minutes from Boston, the state capital).

Well, there you go...that's my family's history.

[Cherika Lynette Blu]

Well, my mom's mom is 100% Mexican, and her dad was Australian...and my dad's mom is 100% Korean while his dad was things I don't know...a lot of white stuff. The only thing I really know about my family's history is that my great-grandpa(on my dad's mom's side) came from Korea and lived in Hawaii, and my grandma moved to California when she was 20.

[Solana Taylor]

We're all British in my family. Though the only thing I know is I have Scottish Ancestors. My uncle was tracing my family history last time I seen him.

[Amelia Bian]

I'm British baby!

[Morana Neus]

I am (what would ironically be called) a Pure-blood Puerto Rican, and a US Citizen by birthright.

I don't know much about my dad's family (except that they were all medaled War veterans), but my great great great grandfather on my mother's side, Duke Jose R. Figueroa of Spain, co-founded my mother's hometown of Villalba in 1917.

However, the family title was taken away when the US acquired Puerto Rico, and all of the Duke's riches was spent building homes, buying land, and financial support (my mom's the youngest of ten; imagine how many kids they must have had then.)

That's about all of the interesting parts of my family history.

[Mai Gamit]

My family is simple except for the little fact that my grandfather was a bastard and who her thought were all of his borthers and sisters were really his aunts and uncles and one of his 'sisters' was really is mother. so thats the only confusing part. Other then that my grandfather on my mothers side is from Scotland and my grandmother on my mothers side was from Ireland. My fathers parents were first cousin and were born is Russia and made it out just before the Holocaust or I wouldn't be writing this here now (just for the thick ones, I'm Jewish.)! So, I'm 1/2 Russian Jew, 1/4 Scottish, 1/8 Irish, and 1/8 French (mygarndmother was half and ha;f French and Irish.

[Calandria Avalon]

I'm roughly 75% Scottish, 15% Irish, 10% German and 5% Dutch... but I basically say I'm Scottish.. and I live in Canada. But I plan on moving to the U.K.

[Brittany Mirane]

well i know that my moms side of the family is french and then may dads side is african american.

[Cirlce Lykos]

er, well i only know my moms side for sure, don't know much from my dad's side but i'm Irish, Scottish, French, German, and Italian that i know of, and i know i'm at leas 1/4 Irish as my grandfather was full blooded Irish, i know i get more Irish and i think some more Scottish from my dad's dad but i don't know how much oranything about his mom's side *sigh* darn messed up family....born and raised in the US though

[Anthony Riddle]

Well, I was born and raised in the US BUT my mother's side is Mexican and something else, but my dad's side is French, American & Mexican so that makes me something like 50% American, 25% French and 25% Mexican. My grandmother was a full French. I don't really know any history though.

[Amora Preston]

Welp, my moms mom was 100% Cherokee Native American. My moms Dad was 50% Cherokee, and so that makes my mother about 75% and believe me, she shows it as well. Her dad had German and Irish as the rest.. so yeah. That makes me atleast 35% Cherokee I guess. Because my dad is Cherokee as well, but he's more of Irish and German..and of course American. He has dutch and welch in him as well though... I know I'm leaving out something, ah well.

So.. that makes me Irish-Native American-German-American-and Dutch

You could have figured out, American, German, Native American, and Irish are all my predominates though.

[monoki]

I am Irish, German, Indian, and what ever my dad was, I dont know my dad thats why.

[Dovesary Aemeson]

I'm White/Caucasian. My dad is mostly Scottish and part-Irish, and my mom is part-English and part-German. So I'm like, part-European to put it generally. Even though I live in London, I am not English. Poo, I wish I were.
Anyway, my Scottish house's coat of arms:

[Aeryn-Rori Grenit]

I was born and raised in the U.S. my mother is 100% Armenian. My father is 3/4 English, and 1/4 Irish. his great, great, great...whatever grandfather was lord duke E. hammersley of england. So I guess that would make me 4/8 Armenian (1/2), 3/8 English, and 1/8 Irish.
