I'm a little bit of everything! And so are you!

[dalesys]

I....am a hyphen. Seriously. But it could be worse.

So am I.

Mongrels of the world, UNITE!

You have nothing to lose but your culture(s)!

And you know you have 1/128 Native American in you? Good lord, that would make the Native American in your family your great-great-great-great-great grandparent! How the hell did you figure THAT out?

I'm 1/8 Native American!

I even know the tribe. I'm Caddo!!

My great-great-grandfather (father's side) was Choctaw. We think. My great-grandfather may have been adopted (we believe he was one of 23 children) so the ancestry is a bit messed up.

My mother's ancestry has been traced to at least one Irishman (who apparently fought during the American Revolution). My last name (father's last name) is a derivative of an English town. (One of my ancient ancestors is a somewhat famous fencing instructor and misogynist, a play was written about him.) However, I just consider myself an American mutt.

I'm Norwegian-German-Irish on my mom's side, with Norwegian being the strongest, both in bloodlines and in culture. Everything Garrison Keillor says about Scandinavians is true, trust me. On my dad's side, we're total mutts. BUT: the family was here for the American Revolution, and in Texas before the Texas revolution. I am very proud of that!

Mamn Dormons & their geneology

My father remembers his great-grandmother Aroetta telling him that her great-grandmother was full-blood. From other indications Ontario/Quebec 1770-1800.

I remember my great-grandmother, Aroetta daughter-in-law stating that she did not know, but that Aroetta's uncles looked "fresh off the reservation".

I have other family lines that were in Quebec, Massachusetts & New Amsterdam in the 1620's. And all of may ancestors made it to Zion (Utah) before the railroad.

I am always amused when some anti-Semite tells me that I should "go back to Israel." This amuses me because we are not from Israel or anywhere near it. Try Eastern Europe. Also, my family has been in the US since the 1880's. Over sixty years before there WAS an Israel! It's kind of hard to "go back" to a place you never were, don't ya think?

American mutt? That's me alright!

Hey so was my family! And we're still here, remembering the Alamo!

What? This thread? Pffft! This is nothing. Now this thread, is 26 pages of pure madness!

[sanchopanza65]

Yeah, I'm mostly Polish, with some Swedish, Norwegian, Slovakian, Scottish, Irish, English, and some other stuff thrown in. Adding to the mix, my great-great-great grandfather was the first missionary to the Dakota Indians in this area, and I'm majoring in Asian Literatures and Languages in College.

EQ, we all love you. We all love each other.

If it weren't for this site, I wouldn't have met the love of my life.

And as for the rest of you...I love you all in a different way.

*grabs my shotgun* What? Who's your love of your life... I'll...

[McGoddess09]

Omg, Plaid... *pats head* You are adorable.

And btw, no I did not post a picture of that. I haven't even gotten it back. It's still hanging in the hallway. So, I pass by anyone who donated a picture every day and it brings a smile to my face.

May I add my name to those who endorse CS? It's multiculturalism at its best.

Even in the Fratching, the topics may be controversial but the discussions are almost always civil. A troll here will immediately stand out like a sore thumb.

Why are people here so nice to each other? I think it's because we all have or have had real jobs and know the value of respect.

[Evil Queen]

Nicely said Library Lady. I also think the people here are so nice to each other because there really is no reason for malice and being nice gives you... well... a nice feeling.
