A Galician who describes himself as Spanish? Shame on you! Throw off the Castilian oppressors!

[Murica!]

Maternally: Dutch, German, and Native American

[morgieb]

1/2 English, 1/4 Scottish, 1/8 Welsh and Irish. Traces of French apparently. Ancestrally I'm about as British as possible without being born there, though my family has lived in Australia for over 100 years.

Look, I find ancestry/geneaology as fascinating as the next guy, but I am not "nearly half-Irish ethnically"or whatever just because three of my mom's grandparents were descended from 19th century Potato Famine refugees.

I am American. My parents were Americans. My grandparents, all Americans. My great-grandparents were Americans as well. Ok, I think I had a few great-great grandparents who were born in Switzerland on my paternal side....

The relevant part of my ancestry is that they were all light-skinned Europeans.

Okay.  Some people feel differently and enjoy identifying themselves as a type of non-American ancestry.

As for me, I'm mostly English.  Some German.

     My relationship to Spain is very complicated.

[Sol]

As far as I can make out, mostly various types of German. Most folks on my dad's side, as far as I can make out from the limited research I've done, were Alsatian German Catholics, while my mom's side is a good deal more ambiguous--the only origin I know for my mom's family conclusively is German, but I'm fairly certain that there was some Scotch-Irish in there considering that side of the family's Tennessee ancestry. Anyway, they were all fairly early immigrants and were thoroughly assimilated by the time of the ARW--my Great-Grandfather's side was a bunch of inbred VA planting aristocracy which fell on hard times (thank God) after the civil war and eventually became, at least on my side, poor folks.

Hispanic going back several generations.

Are you sure you aren't Indonesian?
