What is your familial country of origin?

My Father's side came from Spain, Turkey and Russia. Mother's side came from Russia.

 

Hi shangas,
I bet that you are from Austrlaia Melbourne?

​

 

ime 1/4th Candian (through my second Great Grandma) , 1/4th America (From when My Great Great Grandfather ame here to Australia), 1/4th German (from my Nan) and 1/4th Ausie (from the lady who married my Great Great Grandfather)

 

UK on my mother's side,Ireland on my father's side

 

Mine is boring: German, German, and a little German. One Grandfather fought on the Eastern Front ( he answered the Question: Where? with:" deep in Russia"), suvived with a shot right through his Abdomen. My other Grandpa was Radio-Operator on Ju-88 and Me 110 Nightfighters. But i must confess i couldn´t investigate too much on his History. And the Facts are somewhat screwed up. He doesn´t like to talk about it (Because his Wife will start to tremble in Memory of the Allied Bomb Raids) He said he flew with the 1./NJG 2, from Weimar Norah.....but all i find from Historians is somewhat different...
It´s sad, but i am afraid that i only learn the Truth after he is gone!

 

Irish (mother’a maiden name Patrick), Dutch, and Native American.
My Grandfather was full blooded Muskogee (Creek), in fact a relative of mine is currently running for First Chief of our tribe.

 

Scandinavian. My father was 100% Norwegian and my mother is half Norwegian & half Swede. I believe they all came over to America in the late 1800s.

 

2 Side of mine are complety Turkish but they are coming from different areas to Anatolia(Turkey land)
My father side comes from old Turkish State as call Timurid Empire and from Horasan(old Turkish city)
My mother side comes from Musul Turkish.

 

My grandfather came from Galicia to Cuba. The name Freire is claimed by portugese and galicians. On my mother's side I suspect there is some jewish blood. My mother looked like a twin sister of Golda Meier, but she claimed she did not know about her heritage.

 

My father's family was, as the records say, "of Scotch-Irish descent." Our family came to America in the mid-1700's.

My mother's mother was part English and Irish, and her father was part English and Indian. My mother met and married my father and came to America from England in the 1950's.

One of the great disappointments in my life is we can't trace my mother's line past her father. He was illegitimate and the details of his birth, including his father, were hidden. His age is even listed incorrectly on his tombstone and CWGC, I don't know if it was a legitimate error, or a further attempt to protect his parents. The chance of tracing that line probably died when he was shot down in WWII.

 

I'm half Irish Catholic, with great-grandmothers on both sides of the family hailing from County Cork. My great-grandfather on my mom's side of the family was French Catholic, and was part of a long line of peasant farmers in Provence. My great-grandfather on my dad's side of the family was English and Protestant, originally from Southend On Sea.

My great-grandfather, on my father's side of the family, came to Canada in 1902 to work for the Canadian National Railway. He had a background in mechanical engineering, and was a Colonel in the British Army in the Boer War in South Africa.

His two eldest sons fought in the Canadian Army in the First World War. One was badly gassed, but survived, while the other went through the rest of his life with a steel plate in his head.

My father, as I've stated elsewhere, fought in Normandy in the Second World War with the Essex Scottish Regiment of Canada, and was wounded at the Battle of Verierres Ridge fighting against elements of the 12th SS Armoured Division.

 

Hi; My ancestry is French Acadian on my dad's side and Scottish, French and Metis on my Mother's side. I recommend anyone who is intrested try having your DNA analysed for your ancestryal origion you may find the results intresting ...




french and metis

 

9/16ths Norwegian and 7/16ths Swedish. Grandfather on mom's side is 100% Swedish and grandfather on Dad's side was 100% Norwegian.

 

Father's side mostly Norwegian and some Dutch (my surname is "Hoopman"); English (mother's side [Bryant] arrived in America mid-1600s; who knows who they married since then!), with a hint of Native American.

With 150 years here on one side, and 350 years on the other (making the average slightly older than the USA itself), I must be like Slipdigit: a true American Mutt!

 

My father's side is pretty much English. My mother's was pretty much German and slight English infusion . My wife is mainly Finnish but with a wee bit of Swedish thrown in ....LOL..

Mt daughter sent of my DNA to that National Geographic Genome test. Seems my DNA started in Kenya, along with every one else, crossed Arabia at some point, got to Northern India and into the Urals , then West to the Baltic area, down along the North Sea and crossed to the UK and finally to Auburn, Alabama !! Kidding about the last, it simple ended on the SE coast of the US. The American Kennel club would not recognize us as a breed !!!

 

Since this post is so old and I have found out a lot about my family history since I first posted, I'll recover...

My maternal grandfather is 100% Irish. I have traced his roots back to county Cork as early as 1802, when a certain Edward Nolan was born... other than that, earlier, I have no idea.

Maternal grandmother: mainly Austro-Italian and German. Came from Tirol, which was in the Trento region of Italy for a while but is now in Austria.

Paternal grandmother: Irish and German. Not too knowledgable here.

Paternal grandfather: German, English, Dutch.

As for the German scheme of things, it gets complicated. I'm almost 100% I have some Pommeranian or East Prussian in me, perhaps even a drop of Polish... however, that's where it gets complicated. I know for sure that my German people came from the North, so that leaves the regions of Pommerania, Prussia, Hamburg, Upper Hesse, Brandenburg, and Hanover in possibility. Who knows, maybe I've from them all? lol

 

my familiy is originaly Viking but i'm American, Canadian, Australian, German and British

 

6th grade history project, got it figured down to the 16th fraction. I'm 9/16ths Norwegian and 7/16ths Swedish, 100% Scandinavian. Great Great Grandparents immigrated to the USA from Norway and Sweden through Canada, or so I've been told.

 

My mother's maiden name was Shaw and family tradition had us connected with the Scottish Shaws. One of My cousins had some DNA testing and it pretty conclusively placed that line as O'Sheas.

 

On my mother's side Germany, sailed to the American Colonies in the early 1670's.
