Mostly German and English, a significant amount of Irish, a fair amount of French-Canadian and Scottish, and small amounts of Swiss-German (Source of surname), Klickitat, Yakama, Nez Perce, and an unknown Native tribe from British Columbia. Probably some Welsh, too, but I'm not sure how much.

English (Northern (especially Durham) and East Midlands (especially western Notts) mostly, some West Country (mostly Gloucestershire (including the Forest, lol) but some Dorset apparently) and a random bit of Kentish) and Welsh (Meirionnydd especially, but also Monmouthshire and Glamorgan - read "around Merthyr").

Go back a long way and some French (Huguenot) is there also. My Grandad's Grandmother was, it seems, "not British" in some way or other; no idea where she was actually from.

So did your ancestors convert? I don't mean to sound racist but being Jewish is an ethnic group. Yes there were gentiles who converted to Judaism and that is why there are Jews with blonde hair but being from Germany does not make one German. Not singling out Jews same goes with Turks and Africans who live there.

No it's not, it's a religion.  My ancestors were Jewish, I'm not.  Being Jewish makes one a Jew, not being born in non-existent Jew-land.

Not really. But Stark's point is definitely wrong.

What? You can't be 76% or 12% something, that doesn't even make sense.

Maybe I'm wrong. That was just a guess. I had a great grandma on one side that was all French, and a great grandma on the other side that was full Cherokee. Other than that, I think the rest is German.

Oh, gotcha, just messed up the rounding. You're 3/4 German which is 75%, 1/8 each Cherokee and French which is 12.5% each.

By the way Disraeli, British is a nationality, not an ethnicity.  Just like I can't say "I'm  Minnesotan"

Minnesota is a political boundary, not a historical human population.
