I've recently discovered some of my ancestors on my mother's side were Romanians and Germans, and some on my fathers side were Romanian and Bulgarian gypsies. An odd mixture to say the least. And you?

My family history is a but blurry. My father was born and raised west coast Oregon, and my Mother on East Coast New york. Dad was a redneck of sorts, mom was pretty well to do. Not super rich but very comfortable.

anywho beyond that my dad traces back to mostly German. Our ancestors was royal guards in Russia, brought in from Germany. When they moved to America, I guess someone married another someone who was half African (moved here in his own lifetime, long after the slave trade had ended) and half Cherokee (the mother). That's about all I know.

Trace us back on my mothers side and its a lot more blurry. She was adopted by someone she was quasi related to, and I still don't understand the full story. Biologically I think shes just a mix of some European stuff, its hard to get a straight answer. She inherited their family "book" so I suppose when my mother passes on I will just read that.

I'm full Portuguese but I think there's a bit of African and Jewish in me.

I'm an all-american girl! :D Or is that a song and I'm like type-singing now??? :lol: Anyways, I don't know a lot about my original heritage, like somewhere in Europe or something, but I guess I'm an American mix! :) Cuz, my paternal grandfather was from New York, my grandmother from Nashville and my maternal grandparents were both from Long Beach. We're all here in LA now, though! ;)

My grandmother is descended from the second wave of immigrants to Jamestown, which would be very English. In full, I'm mostly English, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish with a little German, French, and French-Canadian as well. I know my Grandpa's mother was born in Ireland, while the other side of my Grandma's ancestry (she loves to learn about this stuff...) is straight from Wales.

My mom's family lives in some backwater hick town in Tennessee, so I can trace them there back until somewhere during the Civil War when one of my ancestors immigrated from Germany and fought for the Confederacy. He was blinded by a cannon. Kinda neat.

My dad's family apparently has lived in Delaware since the early 1700s, where I've hit a dead end. Yawn. Looks like I'm the first one to have escaped.
