German was the biggest for me. Followed by French, Russian, and Norwegian. I was also .05 North African, and .5 Turkish.

Damn, I love America where being a mutt is normal. Seems odd we have racial division when we've all been fricking each other for hundreds of years.
Very true.

Mostly Scotch-Celtic with a tinge of Norse, Confederate and Antartic
Posted on 3/8/20 at 8:58 am to PurpleandGold Motown
Mostly Cajun. The rest is French (directly from France, not Acadian), Scottish, Irish and some English, with a little bit of Belgian (married into the Cajun side in Louisiana way back when).

To the best of my knowledge - French, German, Irish or Scotch Irish. But never did a dna trace, so it’s all anecdotal. I wouldn’t be surprised at finding other ingredients in the mix.

My ancestors are all from Celtic nations.

By family history, yes.

My dad and his dad were supposed to be 100% German. We now think they are decedents of immigrant Jews from Germany in the 1800s. Our last name is an 'ornamental' German last name, that means 'spear sport' in old German/Dutch. I guess my great, great, great, great grand pappy was good with a spear.

Both sides of my family came to this country back in the late 1600s from Wales and Ireland, and early 1700s to Louisiana from Germany and France when America was made up of colonies and territories. Since then, there’s been so much intermarrying along the way, I’m pretty much like everybody else, a mutt with a lot of Irish and Creole French and Cajun French.

Family on both sides entered through Ellis Island early 20th century, from Germany and Italy.
Posted on 3/8/20 at 10:28 am to PurpleandGold Motown
Mostly French and Italian. I have a German last name but my German bloodline is basically bred out. I’m also English and can trace my English bloodline back to the 1600s. I also have a hint of Cherokee and Jew.
Posted on 3/8/20 at 10:36 am to PurpleandGold Motown
Scot/Irish and Cherokee on my dads side. My grandfather's mom was full blood cherokee, huge fat arse, could barely fit it all in a chair at Sunday lunch.
Mutt is what I am and what I will always be.

100% American don't give a frick, but lineage says roughly 50% French, 25% English and 25% German. You never know back in the day, Mandingo might have had a little fun with one of my female ancestors.
Posted on 3/8/20 at 10:59 am to PurpleandGold Motown
67% England, Wales, and NW Europe
28% Ireland and Scotland
3% France
2% Germanic Europe

I’m 88% British Isles and 12% Western European. I was actually a little disappointed. I was hoping for a little something exotic. I guess all my ancestors were prudes.
