So what colour is your blood?

I'm definitely a total Canadian. My bloodlines include Irish, Ukranian, and German. Here in Canada, we're known as being "multicultural" (as opposed to the U.S. "melting pot")... and I'd say my bloodlines prove that. I wouldn't consider my background to be at all exotic, but there is a lot of history there I'm sure. Granted, I tend to cleave to the Irish heritage the most. I love the celtic stuff! :D

I am what we call Heinz 57. We are Welsh, English, German, Irish, American Indian, Black, White, Yellow, Brown..............you name it, and it is probably in our blood, somewhere.

Terribly English on Dad's side, we're related to the famous tea manufacturers and Irish on Mum's side. My sister is checking and it looks like Dad is a fifth generation Aussie. Not sure about Mum's side. Not terribly exotic in my opinion. I reckon it would be cool to have Native American blood in me.

I don't have an exotic background, I'm an American Indian through and through, I'm as full as you can get, can't get no fuller...lol.

My great grandmother came over to the US from Ireland during a famine. To marry and Iowa farmer. That was my grandma's mother. My grandfathers grandparents came here from Germany.

Hi friend! I am an Indian and proud to be an Indian. My blood is red only and I have no cross brid. we all parents, grandparents all are Indians. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

As exotic as yours. I can trace one set of ancestors back to about 1600 and they all lived within a ten mile radius of where I live. Can't get much more midland English than that.

My tree, like yours, seems to be pure English, though I have a name in it that must almost certainly be Flemish or Dutch and one which is possibly Welsh. The branches are somewhat uneven (it isn't one of those neatly pruned trees where each branch is budded out to the fullest extent). My furthest traceable ancestor comes from a long line of Kentish farmers whose ancestry is said to derive from a Norman retainer of Bishop Odo (and so was Norman French). The names at the ends of the branches are as follows: Kindon from Worcestershire (later spelt Kendon); Gatenby; Butler; Whitworth; Gildersleve; Stokes; Todman; Waddington; Horne (from Yorkshire); Chadwick; Moxton (from Leeds); Fagg (from Kent); Kennett; Read; Cole; Hobday. On my father's side, I can go back 7 generations to about 1770 and on my mother's side I can trace 8 generations to 1686. Most of the blood is 'true English blood' (inasmuch as any English blood can be said to be) but the name of Horne is almost certainly Viking, the name Fagg is said to be Norman French (and therefore probably Viking too), and Gildersleve is either Dutch or Flemish (the family were silk weavers) but probably arrived in Britain in the 17th Century. I think I can confidently assert, therefore, that my blood is as red as the flag of St George (but with a little moderating Norman blue). Since one of my loves is Celtic music (Scottish, Irish and Welsh), it is very much to my chagrin that I can find no hint whatsoever of Celtic blood in my tree (but then who really knows what went on outside the marriage bed and therefore grew up with the 'wrong' name!) For anyone thinking of recording their family tree, there are many varieties of software available but the one that I find suits my purpose admirably is called Personal Ancestral File, produced by the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormons) and available from their website. It is free, I am happy to say, and you don't have to be a Mormon to get it, nor do you have to send your data to them if you choose not to.

I heard the reference of a Heniz57 which meant a blend of many different cultures. For me I first and foremost Canadian. But my background includes German and Ukrainian. Though I keep a few traditions, we are basically a Canadian family. I see more of a difference between me being raise in Toronto (big city) and the people of Cape Breton (fishing village) that I live in now.

Well my blood is blue. That's the color my veins show anyway! LOL I'm Irish Celt. No cross breeding in me! But my adoptive parents are a mix of English/Scot/Irish/and a bit of French too. My younger brother is pure Norwegian and my sister is Canadian of mixed Celtic ancestry. Canada is too young to be producing "just Canadians". We are all too close to our immigrated relatives. Give us a few hundred years ok?

My dad's side--grandpa's family came over from Germany, grandma's came from Ireland. The Irish side had to drop the O' from their name so people would hire them! Mom's side--grandpa's family came over from Ireland, grandma's from England but they intermarried with the Irish. So that makes me only tri-colored-English, Irish and German!

When I first saw your question, it made me think that maybe you're a vampire. But reading on, maybe that's not the case. (Although I might be wrong, lol!) I'm English, but my ancestors were from Romania, Poland and Wales. (I'm 1/8 Welsh, and proud of it! ) I'm sure that there are some other origins that I don't know about, but it would be interesting to find out. Guess it depends how far you go back. It sounds like your nationality is firmly English. It's interesting that you know your family history 300 years back. In all that time there must be at least a few intriguing stories in there!

im a little of a lot of things lol.. im italian, irish, cherokee, polish, english, and i cant remember what else.. mostly italian and irish though

I am English, with a tiny bit of Scottish, but my ancestors from one side of the family seemed to emigrate all over the world in the 1800s. They went to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the US, so presumably they spread their blood around. Not literally.

Well, I had to go to my mom for this discussion and learned we are a mixed breed of mutts...lolFrom what she can tell we have a little bit of a few bloodlines. Cherokee from my great great grandmother who was full blood Cherokee,We have some Dutch,Irish and a few other bloodlines mixed in. Like a big pot of soup. I don't know all of them though I guess I need to find out.

Oh, extremely exotic Uncle Fishy! My parents are from Beduff (yes, that's really how you spell it....yeah....really) and the County Durham, my Dads parents were from the North of England and my Mums parents were from Beduff and errrrrm, think it was Scarborough. My sister's researched our family history and it appears that my Mums Mums family can be traced all the way back to the Doomsday book, don't think you can get much more English than that. :)

On my one grandmother's side I'm told that her mother's family came over on the Mayflower so they would be English. Her father came from Canada no one knows beyond that. They called him a French Canuck. He was very secretive about his own family. That would be before the turn of the 1900s. On my grandfather's side I think they came from England too or one of the British Isles. His father was part Indian from Illinois. Now on my mother's side my grandmother's family came from Germany. My grandfather never talked about his family.

Either I missed this one or I"m replying twice. Too lazy to go and check. My background is: German Pennsylvania Dutch (German) English or Welsh Polish Russian Jewish I like to think my blood is purple, but since I faint at the sight of blood I never looked.

Theres some Belgian, English, french, Scandinavian, American, Cree in my blood...maybe I'm what one might call a mutt!

I remember when I was a kid, for some reason it was very important to be able to answer the question "What are you?" which I always thought was odd and couldn't answer. When I asked my parents, my dad always said "American". Then answer I finally eventually got, is my dad's family is pretty much all Irish, my mom's is a big combination that includes French, German, English, possibly Dutch, and I feel like I'm leaving something out but don't remember what. What is funny is that, I guess because of my coloring, people usually guess I am Italian, or occasionally Hispanic, but they are wrong.
