    American of Mexican descent, although others either disbelieve me or guess something else, at first (Southeast Asian, South Asian, full blooded Native American).

    But that in itself is problematic, since most of us are racially/ethnically mixed! I'm guessing Mediterranean/Iberian and Mesoamerican. Having trace amounts of East Asia, North/Sub-Saharan African, or Jewish ancestry isn't entirely out of the question, either.

    Filipino. Tho the only pure blooded Filipinos are the ones living in the mountains with tribes and all. The rest are product of different genes from our colonizers (Spanish, Japanese, American, Chinese, etc). So maybe I have a percentage of blood from those.

    My grandfather (on my mothers side) used to say we where 100% Hines 57, whatever that's supposed to mean.
    On my mother side there is a lot of German, English and European mutt. My fathers side his mother was half Irish and half Blackfoot, and his father was kidnapped from his Sioux tribe(we don't know which one) after his mother died to go to white peoples school.

    On my dad's side, 50/50 Japanese and French. On my mom's side, English, Italian, and Pennsylvania Dutch. There might be a few other things scattered in between, but I don't know for absolute certain.

    I'm entirely Northern European in origin.

    Scottish on my paternal grandfather's side, originally from the Wallace Clan. This branch of the family first arrived in the New World in the 1630s, when they settled in Maine.

    My paternal grandmother was from an old Germanic family, though she reportedly insisted on using the term "Prussian." This may be more accurate than "German" though, as her branch of the family is from East Prussia, now part of Poland and Lithuania.

    My maternal grandfather was mostly Irish. A number of his ancestors were railroad workers.

    My maternal grandmother's family is from Finland, with a generous amount of Swedish background as well. This part of the family is the most recent branch to immigrate to the New World, as her parents were both immigrants themselves. Her mother came through Ellis Island in 1924, and I still have relatives living in Sweden and Finland.

    So basically, Scotland, Ireland, Prussia, Sweden, and Finland are my lands of origin. I reflect this pretty well; my hair is quite blond, I have blue-green eyes, and my skin usually burns really bad.

    I'm mostly Native (Cree), Scottish and Irish. I've also been told that I'm German and Russian, but not by much.

    I think mostly Italian (25%) and British (>>25%) (English/welsh idk) mostly, with a bit of Swedish (12.5%).

    Then mixed in there are bits of German, Irish, and other European stuff. Apparently there may be some Native American in there somewhere on my mom's mom's side... Who knows.
