What country did your ancestors come from?

My parents and grandparents were english, but I have no idea how far back the lineage goes. I consider myself to be an Englishman, but there is no such thing as a pure Englishman. The country was originally populated by the Celts who migrated from mainland Europe. Then we had the Roman occupation for about 550 years, followed by the Anglo Sazons and then the Vikings. All these people settled here and interbred. Along with the many other immigrations over the centuries it becomes difficult to trace back a true heritage. It is easier for someone from your country due to the relatively short history, and the majority of white americans could trace their lineage back to a European source.

My mom is from Italy and my dad is from Russia, which I think is pretty cool. I've been to Italy a few times but unfortunately never to Russia, probably because we don't have any family left there.

Pure Polish on both mothers and fathers sides but born in Australia just after the war when they came out here .... never been to Poland and after what mum said about it do not want to go their either. Have relations in Poland and America but only my own family here in Australia, so never met any other relations.

From what I know, on my British-Canadian mother's side, I have lowland Scottish, Scots-Irish, and English blood, and on my British-Australian father's side, I have English blood alone, and possibly also some Danish. My name comes from my Danish grandfather.

my grandfather came here from Jamaica. my grandmother was already here but her family is mostly german.

I just started my family tree last year. My father side is from Hungary and Holland. My Mom's side is Polish and Pennsylvania Dutch. I still have a ton of work to do. No one really has worked on the tree. We are located in a few trees posted on the net, but the information is incorrect.

On my Dad's side I have the Italian connection whilst my mother's is English. However all my grandparents, except for my maternal grandmother, were born here in Australia and as she was an orphan we don't know that much. I have never met any of my other relations from either side, except for the ones who live here in Australia of course.

My ancestors on my Dad's side came from Scotland and the ones on my Mom's side came from Ireland. I'd love to be able to visit both countries...it would be nice to see where my family originated.

I have been told that on my fathers side that my ancestors came over on the Mayflower. That member of the family has the only bible that came over with them. I also have Native American ancestors, On my mothers side it was German. rumor has a German princess running away with her footman. One great grandfather came from Canada. But nothing is known about his background.

My Father's side: English, German, Native-American. My Mother's side: Italian, Scottish and Polish. What a weird mix.

I'm a true Heinz 57! LOL Have you heard that expression? lots of different ancestors...on my mother's side, I'm part American Indian and English...on my father's side, I'm part Scottish and German

I'm a mutt also. I know my mothers side of the family has a lot of Irish. My fathers side has English and American Indian. There's other stuff mixed in there too, I'm sure, but that's the main stuff I know.

Most of my ancestors came from Ireland although from what we've been able to tell they were from England before that. I do have some Dutch in me as well from my father's side. I would love to visit the British Isles and really dig into the family geneology but for now just trying to piece it together via the internet.

Basically Sweden on my mom's side and Ireland on my dad's. But my brother and 2 uncles (one from each side of the family) have done extensive work mapping our family tree and each time they update it I learn about another country. Seems we also had ancestors in Holland, Scotland, England, Germany, France and Canada. And if you go down a couple of generations to my great,great nieces and nephews (my nieces and nephews and their kids and grandkids) you can add Panama, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, China, Africa, Greece and several Native American nations. I think if you threw in some Polar Bear and Penguin we would be a truly global family.

My father's side is mostly Irish with a little Dutch. On my mom's side we have 3 Native American tribes, Irish, German, and English.
