  On my Mother's side, Mexican and Italian. My Grandfather came from Zacatecas, Mexico as an 18 year old in 1924. He was going to stay only 3 years, but fell in love with the US. He became a permanent resident. Joined the Army in 1940, spent much of WWII in Europe as an MP. Due to his service dsuring WWII, he earned the right to be called an American citizen.

My Grandmother was full blooded Italian. Her parents came from Northern Italy at the turn of the 20th century. Great Grandma was Southern Italian, while Great Grandpa Deversa was Florintine.

On my Father's side, there's Croatian and Slavic bloodlines. Probably some Russian as well. My paternal Grandfather was deported from Yugoslavia as a teenager because he was an equivelant to an Al Capone. He settled in Cleveland, Ohio and ended up owning one of the largest Pittsburg Glass franchises in all of Ohio. He was a shrewd businessman who had became very wealthy. Grandpa Horvat died in 1957 at 72. Unfortunately, my Slavic Grandmother gambled and drank it all away, dying a pauper in 1964. I could have been an Heiress. Oh well.

I am of Italian descent.  Both sides of the family, the grandparents came to the US from Italy.  My mother's side from Naples, my dad's father from Abruzzi, his mother from Sicily (I don't know how they met, but they left from Abruzzi).

However, I do have a kidney that is English and Scottish.   ;D

So after your sizable payment for genetic identity you found out you are homo sapien. Beats out homo erectus by a huge leap. Your profile pic shows you using metal tools; I'd guess homo sapiens as well.


I always knew that someday....if I worked hard....I would crawl out of my cave....and start using metal tools...... ;D

Solid 50% Italian, but you can't tell it by looking at me 'cause I got all of my fathers English and Scottish genes for looks for the most part.
Normal? What's that?
