Well I came from my mom and dad, who came from two different pairs of moms and dads who came from 4 different paris of mom's and dads and well, you get the point :p

I'm about 50% Russian Jew with a little German thrown in for good measure.
I'm a mutt on my mom's side, probably a little bit of every one of the western European countries.

And somewhere in there is some Swede. I'm a freaking cracker and I don't care who knows!

100% Hispanic.... but that really means I am quite a mix of things, including Mongol, Moorish, and Gaelic! Those Spaniards did a lot of conquering and mixing and got conquered a few times, too. :)

I even have AB blood, which is proof of how diverse my background really is... At least that is what I have heard.

Technically, I'm 50% Cuban, 25% Galecian (NW Spain) and 25% Asturian (Also N Spain)

Father: 100% Italian

Mother: 50% Polish/50% Dutch


Me: 50% Italian/25% Polish/ 25% Dutch

I have the dark hair and eyes of an Italian but not swarthy. That must be the Polish/Dutch influence. I have a brother who is blonde with blue eyes!!!! Takes after my mother.

My mom's side is fully English.

My dad's side is a mixed bag. My grandmother is Austrian and came here after WW2. My grandfather was adopted so beyond him is unknown. But from looking at him, he looks rather German, or something like that. But as Isla said in her other thread, sometimes you can't tell by looking at a person. :)
