All pure here . .

. . just Teuton, Mongol and Slav - and NO Fins (sheesh, one drop of Hungarian and they classify you as a Hungarian).

75% Swedish

The rest is French and a tiny bit (1/32) of Canadian Native American.

Mostly German, sorta.

The German side of my family resided in the Fatherland at least since Roman times, AFAIK.

The other side is French (from the Alsace, surname Muller *grin*) with a memory of a Welshman in the line - remembered only for his bizarre name, Greenleaf Doubtit (It was always a side note when the name was mentioned that 'Doubtit' WAS as in "I doubt it"). This name has been literally passed down through the generations on my mother's side. Nobody knows who he was, or why the name anymore.

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Possibly 100% Norwegian

There might be a Swede somewhere about 6 generations back, though. And my family's been in America since before the Civil War.

Not really sure of all of it

My grandfather (mother's father) was a Twining, related to the Twinings who run the British Tea Company that originated YEARS ago.

My grandmother (mother's mother) was... well, no one really knows. We suspect she was born in the east somewhere, maybe Virginia, then she was kidnapped from her parents, (this much we tracked), and left in an orphanage or something which later burned down. Then she was taken and raised by gypsies. I know, it's weird, but it's true.

My mother was born and raised in Chicago, my dad was born and raised in Kentucky. His parents died years before I came along. My parents met in Chicago while he was in the service, then married after and moved to St. Louis.

We haven't figured out where his surname originated, but I guess that makes me part British, part... gypsy? and part.. Kentuckian?
