One parent's father was Spanish Jew/Latvian and Mother was Irish/German
Other parent is Roman and purely so (I am naturalized U.S. citizen as a child)

Mother's side: German, Irish, English- That's about all I know. My aunt is working on a family tree apparently.
Father's side- Adopted, sealed. Know absolutely nothing.

The older I get the more it bothers me that I literally don't know half of me. Kinetic (yes our very own!) turned me on to genetics tests and I've seriously been kicking around that idea for a bit now. I guess this is my big current moral dilemma.

My folks immigrated to the States about 55 years ago. The parts previous are, well, previous. But to Billhilly I say half as fat, half as hairy, twice as kinky and ~blush~ almost as German. Or Germaner than German, depending on one's particular preference in historical revisionists ...

No; the 'Stan is where I am now! Although to hear momma talk about Arnie's accent was a hoot! She used a single word to place him; it translates poorly as "south-slope backcountry goat fucker". His is not an genteel, urbane Austrian accent, oh no ... you can still hear the critter's neck in the fencing!

That's got to be Austria.

i'm from the dumpster out back next to Danny's family at the ihop :eyesmoke:
We are going to iHop Christmas morning for breakfast. I like iHop. I like waffles, they don't much like me but that's ok. I like them enough for both of us. I am loaded, bet you couldn't guess :)

I love the way my US friends have totally humoured this thread as its a pathetic troll attempt through superiority of a longer standing history. I doubt the OP is a historian anyway.

My mums parents were German who came over to Aus by ship in the 60's , mum was born here .
My dads parents were from Holland who also came over by ship in the 60's , dad was 3 when he came here .
So i am half German and half Dutch !

My mums parents were pure bred English, my dads side it has been said were French travellers that went round france cherry picking! although my dad and his parents were born in England. So I don't know what I'm half of, or whether I am just plain old English. :grin:
