I am German, English, Welsh, a little Danish. If one goes back far enough, there might be some Italian, you know ancient Roman and I also learned that I am part Austrian - my father called it Southern German. So when I was young some people mistook me for Danish, some for Italian, some for German, and I got really confused. My dad met my mother in England and he was German but his family lived in Moldovia which is near Romania, they called it something different then.

I am English, but half-Australian and half-Canadian through my parents. My actual bloodline is English, and possibly also Danish through my father, and Scottish, Scots-Irish and English through my mother.

My mothers family is English and Irish my fathers family is English and French but recently my grandmother mentioned something about Irish and Scottish as well....there is some controversy on the actual origin of my grandfathers last name.

ummm, i think i can list this off:
i have German, Irish, British, French, Italian, and probably some Romanian or Greek blood in me.
probably more, i never think i got a truthful answer from my parents when i asked.
I hope that one day i can trace back my ancestry and learn who my great-great (etc, etc) grandparents were.

Hello jess368!:-)
My response depends totally on how far back you will allow me to go!?
If I limit myself to present generation, I am carrying single nationality blood, Pakistani. If I go back to just two generations, it would be Indian. If allowed to go back a few more generations back, my mother's side is from Uzbekistan (former Russian state), and my father's side is from Iran. If we go further back, both sides are from Saudi Arabia. A little more further, will bring in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Greece, Spain, Turkey and Northern Africa.
So, with this much variety of nationalities in my blood, I would rather call myself child of earth. Does that count?
Interestingly, three members in my own family, my wife, child and I are born in three different nations. I was born in Pakistan, my wife in a middle eastern country and my son in France!:-)

Actually going around 1500 years back is not that difficult for me, or anybody belonging to my bigger extended family. Many families have records of lineage up to more or less that many years. In our family tradition, we have same prefix to our first names for over a millennium years, both men and women with a little difference of just one letter. That makes it easy for us to recognize if someone belongs to this family even if we don't know each other otherwise or even if we are living on different continents.
It has been an interesting activity to find out where in time I and someone else from same family has common parents. My wife and I have common parents some 1200 years ago. A friend of mine that I met in University is great grand father of my mother, LOL! as they have same parents some 350-360 years ago. This lineage also contains records of who married who and who were their children, so on and so forth.!:-)
