Rock on!

The main ingredients to my mush pot is Italian, German, Welsh. I have no idea which to click. Help, please.

I'm 75% Frisian and 25% Dutch, to which some of you might say, "Just admit it, LMP, you're 100% Dutch!" Which would be true, except that Frisians have a rather exalted opinion about their own identity as compared to the rest of their Netherlandish compatriots. Now, I classed myself with the first group rather than the second, which may be considered to be debatable. But when you say Roman/Germanic, that leads me to think of French and Spanish, not Dutch. So I think I have to class myself with Germanic/Scandinavian.

Go Frisians!

I'm not Frisian, just Dutch, but I am also French, Albanian, Sicilian (Not Italian!) Irish, and who knows what else, probably some German and Arab.

As you can see I don't fit into any of the categories!

I should probably vote Native American, but West Europe will have to do. I'm technically Sioux, but a French fur trapper and a couple Irish immigrants managed to get involved during the 1800's, so it's close enough, I suppose.

You're Roman-Celtic-Germanic. .... Roman (Italian) - Celtic (Welsh) - Germanic (German). There ya go!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 02-14-2006, 11:27 AM

Mostly Germanic/Celtic equally from both sides of the channel, though my most immediate tie to the old country is my Grandfather (a German speaking Prussian), and I know of one forebearer who was from St Petersburg.

Oh yes, and of course one Canadian and a passel of Americans - whever they may be - to balance things out this side of the horizon…..

Thinlómien · 02-14-2006, 11:36 AM

If I'm Finnish, I'm North Europe, right?

EDIT: I think I am so I'll vote so.

Aiwendil · 02-14-2006, 12:05 PM

I'm Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and Hebraic - so I voted West Europe, East Europe, and West Asian.

Orominuialwen · 02-15-2006, 06:07 PM

Ack, I have no idea what to select! I'm 3/8 Belarussian, 1/8 Hungarian, a tiny bit Russian (these last three are all Ashkenazi Jewish), ~1/3 Irish, 1/8 French, and very small percentages of English, German, Scottish, and Peoria Native American.

I'm so confused!
