About 99% Anglo-Celtic. Traces of French, possibly some Southern European too.

Almost entirely British (mainly English). A few other random European things mixed in (German, perhaps Swedish, and I think French) and a small amount of Native American. But I just checked "British" as all the rest is in too small quantities to really count.

Approx order: German, Magyar/Hungarian, English, Hunnic.

I would identify myself as Hungarian American paternally. Some of my maternal ancestors may have been here since revolutionary times but they may have been German.

100% American regardless.

Also, I consider Celtic (Scotland, Ireland, Wales) distinct from the more Germanic English.

Assyrians but no Mexicans? What the christ is this list?

Isn't a Mexican typically an Hispanic + Spanish + (often) Native American? Maybe Mestizo should be added to this list.

Almost entirely British (Irish, Scottish), with a touch of German.  If Canadian counts, I'd have to add that, too.

Sindhi and Punjabi Indian, but with initial origins from what's now Pakistan. I'm a bit confused why this list gets so detailed on eastern European and Middle Eastern groups while skimping out on Asian and Latino ones, but whatever.

Voted Jewish. I'd also classify myself as Caucasian (as is Caucasus) and Russian.

Obviously I can't be completely sure, but looking back at my grandparents' relatives and everything, this is what my sister came up with last Thanksgiving:

43.75% German (Dad is 3/4, Mom is 1/8)
25% Swedish (Mom is 1/2)
12.5% English (Both Dad and Mom are 1/8)
The rest is muddy.

I just usually tell people I'm mostly German and part Swedish.

That is topic for Americans, they think that fact of being 1/32 Irish is of any relevance Tongue

Maybe not 1/32, but most people who have a parent who is 50% or more of one ancestry (meaning a grandparent who is 100% that ancestry) feel some kind of attachment to that ancestry, and I don't think that's that weird ... especially if you have an obnoxiously German name like mine and everyone asks if your family is of German ancestry anyway.

This is probably a coincidence, but after I voted/posted by info (Russian/Ukrainian), I started noticing ads when I browse here at the top for things like "Single Russian women" and "Ukrainian dating sites" and so on. I guess those could have been there before, but still seems weird. Does anyone else get those ads or is the Internet stalking me?

Marketing companies have surveillance technology straight out of a science fiction dystopia and they use it to advertise ethnic dating sites. Wouldn't be surprised I would get ads like "BUY PAPRIKA IN BULK" or "CLICK HERE TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST WITH PAPRIKA BAGELS!".

Chinese/Okinawan on one side, Ashkenazi on the other.  I look full yellow peril though, lol.
