I'm sure the poll is very euro-centric and evil,

but unlike similar polls this one is multiple choice,

so I think we could get some interesting stories and not just the usual namecalling and pc-answers.

to my knowledge, I am:

1/8 Swedish
1/8 Lapp
1/4 Icelandic
the rest is Norwegian.

of course, if you go back 1000 years, Icelanders are descendants of Norwegian vikings and their Irish slaves/wifes,

so that makes me Finno-Ugric, Scandinavian and wee bit Celtic.

Rest Irish and Scottish (not sure about amounts).

50% English/Scotch-Irish (In America since 1640) from mom.

20% Portuguese (In Brazil since 1580) from dad.
5% Jewish (Great grandmother immigrated to Brazil from Palestine) from dad.
20% German (Confused about this, but apparently I am descended fro German-Brazilians somewhere along the line).
5% Grab bag... most likely a touch of native Brazilian Indian blood since just about everyone in Latin America has at least a dash of it.

I would guess that i am all those european ones, as they are not distinct anymore. half of the scots are english, half of the english are German. I have yet to have someone be able to tell the difference between an Italian and a Spaniard.

My mum and Dad were born in England- where their ancestors come from well my paternal grandfather was adopted his wife was Jewish- my maternal grnamother was born in detroit from cornish parents and my paternal granfather was born in essex although he had a welsh surname.

Celtic is winning whoo hoo


maybe it's a coincidence, but when speaking with canadians and especially australians, I get the impression that everyone is of Irish descent, even though more immigrants came from England.
Is it "cooler" or more PC to claim Irish descent rather than English, because the Irish were kind of oppressed while the English were evil colonizers?

British Isles cocktail: about 25% English, 25% Welsh, 25% Scots, 25% Irish.

Plus the usual American mingling: a little German, a little Cherokee, a little Jewish, etc.

Gangerolf,

there's no such racial group that would be called "Finno-Ugric." There's only Finno-Ugric languages.

Anyway...

I picked Scandinavian and "Finno-Ugric" as that's 50% and 50% for me.

There is such a thing as fino-ugric-turkish.

They all come from there. Turks, Finns and Hungarians.
Hence the language.

"English" are mostly Gauls by now....
