Well, my grandparents on my mom's side were from Sicily (I think, almost positive, and I think my greatgrandparents moved over here). On dad's side my grandfather again was Italian, don't remember which part of Italy, and I think it was his parents who moved here. My dad's mom, my grandmother, was Hungarian, pure blooded, but I'm not sure which generation moved here. Probably her grandparents.

 I don't look Italian at all (I don't think). It's strange. My dad and I seem to have inherited my grandmother's Hungarian pale skin and genes.

Maybe that gorgeous long hair you have is the Italian part. It looks pretty dark in your pictures.

My great grandparents came over here from Scotland and we have some Irish blood too. On my biological father's side, They are Nordic in origin. So I am a Celtic Norsewoman.

Oh you two are just so cool.....with your fancy heritage.
Although My Mom's family did come over in the 1700 and we are still trying to figure out from where.  (No....Ms. Queen....not from UFOs) |

at some point to visit and she said she can still feel the ties there as it's their home. Or at least the home they came from.

My folks have been in the states for quite some time. My ancestry is Scots-Irish, English, French, German and Native American (Cherokee and Cheyenne). My
brother is really, really into genealogy. He has our family traced back to Eden I think lol

Heh, my parents, grand parents, great grandparents are from the US. On my dad's side they are from the US before it was the US.
On my mom's side I only have researched as far as the mid 1700's in Ireland.. then over to England for around 100 years before leaving Liverpool and settling in Galveston Tx. That was the mid 1850's and when the Civil War broke out. I am by blood Irish/Scottish/Cherokee/Choctaw with a minute amount of strangeness thrown in. |
