Father's family of solid Flemish (Well 'Flemish', Limburgish) stock at least untill the 1750's with just a touch of Prussian blood in the form of my great-grandmother. Mother's family is Flemish-Dutch. (Zaandam, I believe, may be mistaken about that, thinking it trough it's almost certainly entirely wrong.)

100% Danish back to around 1600-1620, which is the longest I can trace my family. All peasants and craftsmen to around 1900. So pretty boring lineage.

Let's see here
Dad's dad's dad: English ancestry (Washburn)
Dad's dad's mom: German ancestry (Lutes)
Dad's mom's dad: Irish & Scottish ancestry (Tindall, mother was a Bishop of Scottish descent)
Dad's mom's mom: Irish ancestry (Quirt)
Mom's dad's dad: German ancestry (Frobel)
Mom's dad's mom: English ancestry (Pack)
Mom's mom's dad: Irish ancestry (Sproule)
Mom's mom's mom: Irish ancestry (Patrick)

So, that's 1/4 German, 7/16 Irish, 1/4 English and 1/16 Scottish

Should be noted that all Irish ancestry I have is Protestant Irish (both sides), from Ulster.

My mother's mother is from Feni; the rest of my family is from the area around Sylhet. Some of my dad's family lies across the border in Assam, but they're Sylheti, too.

Both my parents are half-Swedish and half-German, though I'm sure their ancestors came from different parts of Germany. Also my maternal grandmother's ancestors were clearly Pietists which sets them apart from most Midwest Swedish-Americans.

My mother's family originally settled in New France with the first settlers in the 1500s, they came from Saint-Malo (Brittany), though with the ways families are in practice, there's probably a whole mix of Native American/Normand/Poitevin/Flemish/Picard/Irish etc blood in the line anyways. My father came to Canada in the 1970s, his family is from Brittany, though I've heard something about some people having moved from Flanders/the north of France during WW1. Hence, predominantly Breton/Celtic.

Cool. I have this ancestry as well. Of course, it's more common in Canada :/ Apparently, if I can prove my lineage, I am eligible to add "UE" to my name. Smiley

Being a descendant of the Loyalists is the genealogical equivalent to being a Mayflower descendant for Americans. I believe I also have a Mayflower ancestor, so I've got both. (The Washburns have been in North America since the 1600s, and were at one point a powerful political family in Massachusetts; one of the branches leads to a Mayflower passenger)

My Dads family is the Axis Family Tongue Both of my moms parents were born and raised in West Virginia, and their families have been in the region for a very, very long time. My moms dads mother was from the Cutlip family, which is very big, and was referenced in the Hatfields and McCoys the other night. My moms moms mom (tongue twister) was descended from the English Compton family.

     Paternally, English Catholic (hence, probably Anglo-Irish in reality). Maternally, Galician (probably some Castillian Spanish & maybe even Moor mixed in there), German, & Swiss German.

We suppose it is (my grandfather was adopted, so we don't know his parents and his heritage) 15/16 French (like Hashemite, they came in New France in the 1600s, from various regions, mainly Normandy), 1/16 Native.
