Who were your ancestors?

I was talking to my mom today and she said I am part cherokee! It's like 1/8 or something around there. I am also Irish and related to Bruce the first, so I am scottish too and I am English also.

Bruce, Scottish family, originally named de Bruce, descended from Robert de Bruce I (died about 1094). De Bruce was a Norman knight from Bruis, a castle near Cherbourg, France, who in 1066 went to England with William the Conqueror.

 

On my dad's mother's (paternal grandmother) side of the family they traced our ancestors to George Washington on his mother's side.

 

I have:

Scottish
English
Irish
German

but I'm all Canadian! LOL


If you want to research any of your family history here are a couple of links I use all the time:

mixed celt and dutch. although even the dutch probably has celtic roots. irish on my dad's side, welsh, scottish, and dutch on my mom's. famous people (all on my mom's side): miles standish, of the pilgrims (9-times-great grandfather) king john of england (the bad guy in the robin hood legends) and scottish kings malcom and duncan (the ones who got murdered my macbeth. out! out, damned spot!)

 

Mom's side:

Her Dad (100% Italian)
Her Mom (100% Irish)


Dad's Side

His Dad (100% Scottish)
His Mom (100% Irish)

So this would make me 50% Irish, 25% Scottish, and 25% Italian.

 

I do not know nor do I care.

 

Dad's dad-Germany
Dad's mom-Switerzland

Mom's dad-British
Mom's mom-British (2nd generation Canadian)

There is also a person in my family who is from Spain.

Ah, i'm dang proud of my ancestry.

My Dad's side goes back to Magyars and Bavarians.

My Mum is British and goes back to Led Zeppelin and the Vikings.

Seriously. The Vikings.

 

the bloodthirsty picts were my great great great great great granddaddys.

all my ancestors are from the same area. i have boring ancestry.

 

Mom = French-Canadian
Dad = Irish

i am told that i have Iroquois ancestry to the tune of 1/32.
but i am very Irish in both appearance and surname.
here is my family crest:



i really dig my ancestry.
my last name graces a lake and the ruins of a castle in Ireland.
someday i will visit them.

My Dads mom's side ( The Balls) trace them selves to George's MOM, but not to him.

 

1/2 German and 1/4th Cherokee. The rest is a mystery, unless I want to delve into my Mom's side of the family, which I do not.

 

although ive been told numerous times, i dont have a clue!

i know i have some italian though.

 

Mother's side:
Her mother (50% Swedish, 50% British)
Her father (100% Swedish)
Father's side:
His mother (50% Russian)
I have no idea about his father..

My aunt (mother's sister) has done some research about the family and our ancestors and has traced them back to the Vikings. So ImaPeach, we're practically relatives! LOL

 

my mother's side were polish jews who came over before wwii and lived on the lower east side in new york back between the 1900s and well into the 1950s, my natural grandfather on my mother's side was named konigsberg (i'm uncertain as to which actual spelling)

my father's father's people where the hessian mercinaries brought over to what was at that time not yet the u.s.
my father's mother's father's people were andrews (clan ross of course)
my father's mother's mother's people were onondagwa
the only relatives i've ever met are my mother's side of the family
my father's father's family and my mother's family were appearantly prejuced against each other so i grew up not really knowing either
only a few times in my life have i ever met my mom's and like i said, none of my dad's have i ever as far as i know even met
