I was thinking about this while reading peoples family stories. So, out of curiousity, what heritage are you?
I am Czech, German and Irish.

I don't know what you've heard, none of it is factual, but it's all true.

Well, at least it's natural. I'm German, English and Spanish. My mom got the Spanish skin and tans like mad beautiful. I, as proof of my skin right now, burn and burn crispier than crispy chicken. I turn redder than a lobster for more than two days...and that's WITH sunscreen! I had to get the highly English skin!

German and Dutch, but there's something else in there that I'm not quite sure about -- I'm pretty dark, considering.

Scottish/ Native American

Grandfather Wilson (100% Scot) married a Native American.

I'm Scottish on my dads side and Irish on my moms mostly but there is some English in there as well. My grandmother is a genealogy fanatic and has our family traced back pretty far and she's for some fantastic stories. Lol.

On me moms side I know that me great granda immigrated from Ireland and while here in the US disgraced the family and was removed from the Bohemian tribe but not shunned. Granda was born here in the US and married a Gramma who was said to be Italian/German On Dads side Great Grandma was said to be Tuscaroarin(native american) and Great Grandpa was from Germany and said to be Jewish but can not prove it so German. So I guess I am Native American Irish Gypsy Jewish German Itallian. Hmmmmm Im the Great American Melting Pot

My father was born in America.  My mother was born in America.  I was born in America.  I am an American.

2 of my grandparents were born in parts of Germany that became Poland after WWII as they fled Hitler who killed 6 of their brothers & sisters.

The other 2 were born in North Dakota to a mix of Bohemian German and Norweigan and Native (we think) second generation immigrants.

We refer to my side of the family as Heinz 57. There's a little bit of everything in the family history!
