In the immediate, most likely 100% Polish. Probably some Russian/or/Ukranian and German blood in there considering where my grandparents' families came from (Poznen on one side, and very close to the eastern border on the other).

My mum is typical 5th generation Australian, with English, Irish, & Sottish ancestry. There's rumoured to be a touch of Aboriginal & convict on my maternal grandmother's side.

My paternal grandmother is Russian (even though she was born in China, but it was the Czarist colony of Port Arthur), with a little bit of Italian, French & Jewish in her ancestry. Her father was officer in the Czar's navy & ran the officer cadet school in St Petersburg). Her mother was a friend of the Czar's mother & use to borrow money off her sometimes.

While my paternal grandfather is half Danish, a quarter Dutch & a quarter Javanese.

He was also a Danish baron, my dad's elder brother is the baron now, but he has no kids, which makes me 2nd in line to become a baron. The castle & all that was gambled away like 150 years ago or something, but there's a painting of the castle.

In the Danish book of Heraldy, there's even a blurb about me & a whole chapter on our family with the lineage going back to the 13th or 14th century (I forget which - its not as I look us up in the book much, its in bloody Danish afterall), but the family arround came from Germany. So there's a touch of German in me too.

Only part of my mix that I know is that I'm 3/8 Irish from my Mom's side. And yet strangely I don't enjoy drinking.

Well one side is mainly Dutch. The other side in English/French. Then there is some Cherokee indian.

I guess I am a mix of Dutch/English/French with a little Cherokee thrown in.

Father: Don't know for sure, he was adopted in Hungary in the midle of WW2, so I highly suspect that he may have been Jewish. For the sake of arguement I'll just call him 100% Hungarian.

Mother: 50% Canadian/American/German(perhaps Dutch)(came to Canada in the early 1900's from Pennsylvania). 50% Canadian Native Indian, don't know which tribe, but know the location.
