It's not that unusual. A lot of people are part Native American. I've even read that during the age of colonization, a lot of English men found the Cherokee women more desirable than their own English women, because the Cherokee women were, by their culture, more independent and willing to express themselves. It seems surprising that a European in those days would want such a woman, but then again, I suppose a woman with no mind of her own would be unattractive in any age. She certainly would be to me.
But then that may just be the Cherokee in me. Or the Swede; I've also read that Scandinavian women were the most free women in Europe during the Viking era, with more rights than women had anywhere else. http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/viking.gif

I'm English. As far back as I've traced my family tree - which is not far, only 200 years - everyone is English.

However there is a hint of Swedish ancestry. I'm directly descended from someone 6 generations ago whose surname was Aspland. From the name it would seem his ancestors were probably Scandinavian. And there was a forename used for 4 out of the last 6 generations that suggests a Norwegian link.

My wife is American. Her ancestry is half German, quarter Sicilian, sixteenth Cherokee, and the rest a miscellany of Scots etc.

Too many people seem to think that because of s**t that went down 100 to 200 years ago, means that they deserve a free ride. I realize that by saying this I'm opening a can of worms.

Thou who goes to bed with an itchy butt wakes up with a smelly finger.

I believe that every informed person in America does want to work together to form a more efficient government, but the government as a whole has been working against it's own interest. Instead of being a reliable, proficient government, we find barriers of red tape and laws that clog the system because the government is trying to be something it's not. Furthermore, if you think your living in a democracy wake up because the facts represent us as being a republic.

I am also dutch, and i know for a FACT that Belgium makes FAR better beer then we do. this is not an opinion, it is a fact.

It is also a fact that Dutch people eat and have far more Frie snack bars then Belgium.

I am from the yet unrecognised PRY (peoples Republic of Yorkshire) the adjective to describe me would be Yorkshireman. As our state is as yet unrecognised by our evil British overlords I am also a fully paid up member of the Yorkshire Republican Army (YRA) involved in many terrorist activities such as:

Ferret Frightening- Releasing ferrets up the trousers of leading politicians.

Flat Cap Sabotage- Leaving Flat Caps in the engines of government controlled vehicles

Yorkshire Pudding Hoarding- Accumulating Yorkshire puddings in illegal underground stashes.

I am Dutch. Not really proud of it; it just happened to me. I've got some Frisian, Saxon and perhaps even some Russian blood in my veins. (Some of my mother's ancestors moved to Russia in the 18th or 19th century as farmers; but they returned about fifteen til twenty years later; I really found that interesting when I found out: I have always loved vodka)

I will probably never leave the Netherlands to live in another country. I will visit them however: except Israel probably.

Why except Israel?

I'm American, I was born in America, and I've never been out of American for more than two weeks at a time.
I'm definitly American.

I'm French and Native American on my mother's side, and Cuban and Jamaican on my father's. I'm from Chicago, but I have lived all over the U.S. If I had to live elsewhere, it would most likely be Canada.

I was born in Australia and consider myself an Australian and fortunate to live here. Most of my ancestors came to Australia five generations ago except for one grandmother who was born in England (Northampton) but her family were originally from Ireland. Prior to coming to Australia my ancestors came from England (Cornwall, Exeter, Kent), Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the Italian region of Switzerland. Some of my English ancestors were originally Huguenots fleeing religious persecution in France and Belgian.

I have never contemplated living in another country but if I had to it would probably be England - although the climate doesn't do much for me. The other places I would consider are Italy and France.

No.

:bump: So, we have to make this thread live again


I am from Sweden.

Canadian. Roots include Italian and Scottish. Both catagories are completely irrelevent to me.

Fullblooded Norwegian, born in Sweden but raised in Norway. Going to go to college in the USA in January. Consider myself Norwegian but wouldn't mind becoming American.

American, I have Italian and Turkish roots, mostly Italian. I consider myself an American

I'm a Kiwi. That's a New Zealander for all you who don't know.
Ancestors by way of Australia, Denmark, England and Ireland I think. The Aussie ones were kiwi first then aussie then kiwi then aussie now kiwi again. :crazyeye:

Canadian!!!

I'm American, family history extends as far as my great grandparents, even then little is known about them. The contributing nationalities for my family are, Czech, German, Norwegian, and Irish. The family name is from the Czech part of the family. That is all I really know for certain.

If I had to choose another nationality I would chose English, I like Russian culture but I probably wouldn't enjoy living there(unless I was made Tsar :king: ).

I hold ancestry mostly in Europe, as far as I'm aware. England, Ireland, Germany -- possibly a country in Scandinavia, as well, though I'm unaware as to which. As for my nationality? Terran. Earthling. Whatever the heck you'd like to call it -- my "nation" is the Earth, not some partition of it. I currently reside in the USA, but have every intention of migrating to Canada, as well. Their climate's not quite as good, but I like their society rather more and they get all the video games the US does. :p

American, but with descent from Poland (largest part0, Russia, perhaps Ukraine, and maybe back to England or that area...I mean, my last name had to come from somewhere.

I'm a born Aussie citizen, English, Scots, Italian, Hungarian background. Don't fit in here and felt much more at home in Romania, so I'm gonna move there when possible.

American obviously.

I have no idea what my European heritage is but then again, I don't really care. So I consider "American" my heritage and culture.

American. My ancestry extends mostly, almost 90% to Germany and I have alot of Swedish ancestry as well.

Born and raised in Canada, therefore I am a Canadian. Dad is from Germany, mum was born here to English parents (I've traced her line back to the 15th century, all in Devon).

While I consider my English and German roots as a significant part of me and who I am, I see myself basically as a Canadian. My British in-laws see me as annoyingly Canadian.

I think that sometime in my life I will uproot and live some time in the Mother Country and/or Der Vaderland, but Canada will always be "home".

I am about as American as you get.

I would contest that ;)

Ethnically, I'm British (English and Scottish) with a splash of Native American a few generations back.

Of course, since all of my family has lived in the United States since before the Revolutionary War (some even in Jamestown and Plymouth), I suppose I could be considered ethnically American, and I'm certainly an American national.



On an aside, I'm one of three students of British heritage at my school. One of the other two is my brother. Around here, anyway, the original English settlers are all but gone; it's rather amazing that English has managed to stay the national language when the ethnically-British population is so small (with pluralities only in Utah and New Hampshire, IIRC).

I'm a Malaysian with dutch, portuguese and chinese descent, but I can't relate that much to dutch and portuguese anymore. So if I have to move to somewhere else, I'll say China, Taiwan or Singapore.

I am second generation Canadian.

Parents are all Canadian

Grandparents are Scottish, Irish, Canadian, and American.

First off what nationality do you consider yourself, and if you had move to another country, considering all the different cultures and communities in which you could choose, which one would you join?
I consider myself to be an American, but I admire the candor and wisdom of the Dutch and I think I would move to Belgium.

.

I am an American of Russian descent. I wouldn't want to join some other culture. I can admire others without wanting to be them. Besides, America is the greatest country in the world. :goodjob:

I'm an American, and I'd want to move to the country most like my own, whichever that would be. Probably Australia?

I'm an American and I wouldn't want to move anywhere else. Although if I had to I would choose New Zealand or Australia, I hear the kiwis play football (the real stuff).

Ethnically I'm Vietnamese.

However, nationality wise I'm a born-and-raised American. My family (extended aswell) has been in this country since Saigon fell to the Vietcong in 1975.

I love this country, but if I had to move anywhere I'd move to either France or England.

Canadian, Anglophone Quebecer, currently of Longueuil. But nationality is unimportant for me.

My father is from Jamaica (but is white), left at 14 because it gained independence, and my grandmother ... didn't really like the blacks. Or the French. Which is ironic, since she was born in Haiti, lived in Jamaica, and died in Quebec. (Of course, I only inferring this from second hand information, since I only knew as a sickly old woman in a hospital.) His roots were throughly British. There is a college in England with our last name; named after our (presumed) ancestor. Furthermore, it is a compound name, both names being German.

My mother grew up in a little village in the barrios of Luzon (the Philippines), where, as far as I know, generations of her ancestors lived. She got a degree in teaching before moving to Singapore, Hong Kong and Winnipeg before coming to Quebec.

On an aside, I'm one of three students of British heritage at my school. One of the other two is my brother. Around here, anyway, the original English settlers are all but gone; it's rather amazing that English has managed to stay the national language when the ethnically-British population is so small (with pluralities only in Utah and New Hampshire, IIRC).I suppose it is a kind of compromise language. And, many learned English to be as American as possible. If not the direct immigrants, then their children, whether they were born in country or at the home country.

But I lie the diversity...just wish the family still had some of the good stuff they enjoyed in Poland way before everyone decided it would be an awesome battlefield for a couple centuries. Meh, it'd go to the family still in Poland, those that didn't choose or could get away from Eastern Europe after the war.

Oh right...if I had to move to another country...probably Canada...Vancouver perhaps. If language wasn't a problem, maybe in Eastern Europe somewhere, try to live the good life and train myself to be a person advancing the place I'm living in.

If you ever say that to me again, I'm going to send you a gift via Olympic dam Uranium Mine :)

Swedish, although a lot of my focus is on getting out of here:) Damn free education drawing me back...

I am a Czech European.

Swiss as far as I can track it back (with a single splash of austrian a few generations back, I believe.)

My Grandmother always told us that we'd be Germans (ok, she didn't use the nice term for them :mischief: ). if it weren't for the war, since she was living in Heidelberg before WWII. Not that we would exist, since she only met my Grandfather after she came back to Switzerland ;)

I'm an American. I'll probably retire in Southeast USA. However, of all the places I've lived nothing comes close the awesome culture I've experienced in Okinawa. If I spoke Japanese I'd really consider moving here. A close second was Ireland, but I don't like the cold. Okinawa is a safe environment (very, very low crime), the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met, and if your single, the hottest women on Earth. It also has increadible weather. If Hawaii is paradise, this is mini-paradise without the crime.

I thought that it was strange that there were some people posting in this topic that I hadn't seen in years. Then I checked the date.

But anyway, as for nationality I'm Irish

*whistles* This is an old thread!

Btw, I'm Australian, with Scottish and German heritage.

Then I noticed the date, and realised someone had been naughty and raised this old thread...Bad dog!

Nationality?

I am Scotsman first, and Britisher second and a European third.
I am also descended from Spaniards, Celts and Iberians.

:)

I am Canadian, French, Italian and Yugoslavian roots. If I was forced to leave Canada I'd move to Italy.

Nationality?It says British on my passport.

Østerbroer, Københavner, Dane, Scandinav, Europe.

I'm Scottish and if I moved anywhere it would be Norway.

I'm an American, and I'd want to move to the country most like my own, whichever that would be. Probably Australia?
Wouldn't the country "most like your own" be Canada? Australia is closer to Brittan then America, IMHO.

Born in Brussels, Belgium. Raised in Paris, France. My family has its origins a bit everywhere from Morocco to Germany. My brother lives in Australia and will have a kid there. My sister lives in London with a Canadian and has a kid there, they'll move to Canada sooner or later.

I'm Parisian, European, and also French.

Live in Mazamet, Tarn, France, European Union, Earth.

I have a strong walloon identity but I also feel french and european.

"Belgian" means nothing to me. It's just a word on my ID card.

Same as me! I have rellies living in new castle.... I dont suppose your anyone I know.

If I had to move... probobly New Zealand scince they are a vasal state anyway, or England


Well If you've been to any Morrison get-togethers between 1995 and 2005 then you will probably know me.

If I had to move (my girlfriend as well), It'd probably be back to bathurst.

I am a ABCD and a NRI and a PIO.

Figure it out.

I'm American. My adoptive parents were second-generation Scot and Irish respectively, so that's what I claim for ethnicity (no knowledge of my genetic parents).

That I know of, there aren't any English-speaking countries as libertarian-leaning as the part of the US that I live in, so I'd be loathe to move, but my top choices would probably be Ireland, (western) Canada, Australia, or maybe a small island country in the south Pacific.

Jesus was an NRI (Non Resident Indian) also you know:

Excellent. We can now take credit for starting another religon :p

I'm Irish-Scottish-Acadian. Can't think of anything more (white) canuck than that, so I'll appologize to our first nations and dub myself 'Canadian'.

My ancestry is mostly Eastern European Jewish, although at least a quarter is Western European Jewish (the Van Der Walde family of Emden, Germany, the name suggesting Dutch origins.) In the two generations previous to mine, the family has been American, German, and Jerusalemite - my mother's parents were both born in the USA (of Eastern European Jewish descent); my father's mother was born in Emden, and his father in Jerusalem (third generation here, Russian family I think.) Both of my parents have lived in Jerusalem for most of their lives, although my mother is decidely American and still thinks of moving back to the US every now and then.
My own identity is generally Earthling/Terran/Citizen-of-the-World (almost literally, as I have an EU citizenship along with my Israeli and American ones.) I feel more American than any other one nationality, but in a very weird way since I've never lived in the States. In Israel I'm considered very American and mildly German (working on increaing that factor), in America I'm very Israeli, and in Germany I'm very American and noticably Israeli.
If I had to choose where to move right now, it would be Germany. I intend to go to university there and then decide where next. I highly doubt I'll ever choose to come back to live in Israel. It will likely be either Germany or the US or remotely possibly Scandinavia.

Der Vaderland
I do believe that's "Das Vaterland". ;)

I'd drop all nationality if I could and accept Internet citizienship.
Until that day, American/South African/Norwegian.

It says British on my passport.I should expand on my terse answer before...

Like Jesus, I am an NRI. Unlike him though, I live in England. I could have dual citizenship and become the PIO (Person of Indian Origin) which Silver is on about, but the expense does not justify the benefit. Originally from just south of Goa in India, I also have a Portuguese sense of identity mixed into an Indian identity. My surname is Portuguese, the family's religion which I ignore is Portuguese styled Catholicism. All my cousins, aunts, uncles etc all have names like Pinto, Da Silva, Menezes, Mascarenhas and so on. This means I often have no interest in identifying with Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims etc in the UK. They are just another people who I share a certain 'Indianess' with. The difference between those Indians' identities and mine can be likened to the difference between say a German and an Italian, or a Greek and an Irishman.

Having never lived in India, but visiting it frequently, this means my 'Indiness' is hardly paramount. Growing up in Zambia, Africa and then living most of my formative years in England means there is a strong English/British identity. And some affection for Zambia.

It's all a bunch of swings (experiences) and roundabouts (constructed terminology) anyway and nationality doesn't mean much to me.

Internet citizienship.

D'oh! Knew I forgot something!
I'm probably more a resident of the Internet than I will ever be a true resident of any country...

If you look at my location you can tell where I am from. Basically My roots all go back to England. My mum was born in Australia but my dad was born in England. My Maternal Grandparents, my Grandma was born in Australia. The rest of my Grandpearents were born in England. As much as it Pains my to say this, I have an English heritage. I feel real dirty fro saying that.

Of all these acronoyms I think ABCD sums me up best.
American Born Confused Desi ;) yes thats me.

I don't consider myself having any nationality...

Nationality: Canadian
If I had to move: Australia or New Zealand

Nationality: Canadian
If I had to move: Australia or New Zealand

The colonies eh? Why not Britian I can understand the US it's full of RWCF's but I think Britian is ok.

Australia is warmer...and they have kangaroos ;)

Australia is warmer...and they have kangaroos ;)

But no beavers :p

I have both French and American nationalities. I live in Paris and Picardy, my family in the US lives in Connecticut.

I am British/European. I think of myself as both.

I live in England, and I'd like to move to contentintal Europe as some point. Andorra and Germany are both very nice places.

But no beavers :p
We do have beavers. ;)

You know i've been to all 3 of those countries!

We do have beavers. ;)

And platypuses!

Cheeky, Mr Hero!

Sorry but I'm going to be conquering Andorra, Lichestein and Luxemborg. You will have to look elsewhere

And I'm annexing a small part of Albania!

Focus:

I would live in Sweden, or probably Albania or Rome (if my plans of world domination comes true), otherwise Norway or perhaps Germany. I couldn't settle in the US. live for a few years maybe, but settle and start a family? never. Their beer is just too bad.

and if you had move to another country, considering all the different cultures and communities in which you could choose, which one would you join?

If i ever decide to move/have to move, then i would move to Germany, Sweden or The UK.

and if you had move to another country, considering all the different cultures and communities in which you could choose, which one would you join?

Australia.

Home of beer, barbies, and watching sport in the sun. What more does a man need?

If I had to move, it might be for France. But in my mind France isn't a foreign country ;) Actually, I will probably move to Greece later in my life http://babel.lexilogos.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_gre.gif

50% Chinese (father side) 50% Filipino (mother side). Born and grew up in the Philippines. Spent a couple years in Malaysia and Singapore. Now working here in China.

Given a choice I'd probably prefer to live in Singapore.

Given a choice I'd probably prefer to live in Singapore.

Me too, but China isn't that bad, is it?

You, me, Ramius75 and XIII could start a Civ clan there :lol:

Me too, but China isn't that bad, is it?
Well yes, the food is good and cheap, the booze is strong, and the women are hot. But I miss Singapore's cleanliness, clockwork precise public utilities and general sense of security. Here I have to always watch my back.
You, me, Ramius75 and XIII could start a Civ clan there :lol:
There IS a Civ community here. Not big, but quite active. Unfortunately I no longer have the time to play games or socialize with them (on the internet) like before. :(

Anyway you guys are always welcome to come here for a holiday. :)

When I came to China, it was a bit further to the West (Chengdu), but it wasn't for holyday :(

im black on the inside

im black on the inside

That's because there's no light - were you to be opened up, that would change. ;)

When I came to China, it was a bit further to the West (Chengdu), but it wasn't for holyday :(
Business then? How'd you like Chengdu? It's a totally different world from here. The climate, language, cuisine, political and business atmosphere...

The food spicy enough for you? :D And did your hosts try to get you drunk every night? :lol:

That's because there's no light - were you to be opened up, that would change. ;)
Let's try it! Who has a good knife?
Hey Jawz, don't run! We won't hurt you... much!

Chendu is'nt there an aeronautics complext there that manafactures Super-7's? And theres a headquaters there to...
Incidentally that city is first on the Indian Governments-To-Nuke List. :lol:

I consider myself English and if I had the choice I would move to Spain. Their climate is so much nicer than ours, I love the culture and the people are really friendly. Viva Espana.

Business then? How'd you like Chengdu? It's a totally different world from here. The climate, language, cuisine, political and business atmosphere...

The food spicy enough for you? :D And did your hosts try to get you drunk every night? :lol:
Yes business, my company is trying to equip the Air Traffic Management Bureau with our software, but it's very long. Chengdu was relatively nice, and I noticed a lot of changes between my two stays (a lot more shopping streets). For the climate, I don't know, I couldn't really see the sun because of pollution. For the language, well, almost no one speak English, and even fewer French... And as my Chinese is quite limited, well, bargaining was funny.

I have a funny anecdote BTW. At the Civil Aviation Hotel were I was a guest, I saw that I could have internet access. So I went to the main desk and asked for it in my best English. The guy there look at me with a blank expression, and say "OK, go back to your room, I do it". So I go back, and wait, and wait... Nothing.
I go gack to the desk, and ask again. Suddenly, I see a light of understanding in his eyes! He ask me to go back to my room, he will send someone. Just 5 minutes later I was back, a knock on the door : a woman in charge of cleaning the room enters.... and explain to me very patiently (in Chinese) how to turn on the hot water.
I quite asking then....
And I'm sure when she climb down she told the guy at the reception "this westerners are very stupid, they don't even know how to get hot water!"

The food is really spicy, but I've discovered drinking a lof of tea helps a lot.
They didn't try to have me drunk every night, there was only one official dinner (me alone with 12 Chinese)... But they didn't succeed. I said I was on medication (that was true) and my doctor has strictly forbidden mixing it with alcohol (that was not so true). So they get drunk themselves instead

Chengdu is before everything the Worldwide capital of spicy food.

By the way, I do like Sichuanese pepper.

First off what nationality do you consider yourself, and if you had move to another country, considering all the different cultures and communities in which you could choose, which one would you join?

I'm Greek. If I absolutely had to move to another country, I'd probably go to France(as a second choice, maybe Germany or Austria).

I'm dual nationality British-French.
I was Born in Devon.
My heritage is Londonian/Isere.
I speak French and English both fluently, and consider myself as English as John Bull, and as French as Marianne.
I don't hold a passport (partly because of economic reasons; partly due to pride), and instead hold a French ID card.
I'm probably gonna vote in England (but refuse English nationality).

I'm swede and my parents and grand parents were as well. No foreign ancestry what I've heard of but can't rule it out completely. I consider myself swede and have no regional feelings.

I'd go to Copenhagen if opportunity and circumstances are right, such a nice city :love: .

This is the thread that never ends
It just goes on and on my freinds...

Born in England.

My dad is English, with Danish ancestory, he married a Swede, and has my two sisters with her.

My mum is Scottish, and she married an Englishman, and had my two brothers.

Then my parents married (a week before I was born ;)), had me, and then years later had my little sister.

:).

Let's try it! Who has a good knife?
Hey Jawz, don't run! We won't hurt you... much!



my innards would strip the flesh off your bones and id be stronger

cause im a baaaaad mofo :D

ps. when i say im black on the inside, i dont mean im a whigger, i dont listen to hiphop, and i dont speak homey language

im just really cool ;)

First off what nationality do you consider yourself

mankind

---

I'm an American with Spanish, German, and... not sure what to say for the last one, as back when my great-grandfather was born there, it was part of Russia, but now it's part of Belarus. And possibly some Scandinavian heritage, too.

If I had to live somewhere else, it would be either somewhere else in the US (not the deep south, though), in some primarily English-speaking region of Western Europe, or in Australia or New Zealand. Not necessarily in that order.

It says British on my passport.

Ah, but what does it say in your soul? :cool:

American, unlike many of my countrymen

I am from the United States.

I am of German (East Prussian) descent. There are unsubstantiated claims that we are also descended from Lakhota (Sioux) tribes.

I would live in Switzerland.

Citizenship: United States of America

Nationalities: Cuban, Irish, German, Ukrainian, Dutch, French, Iroquois (don't know the tribe), Scottish

I recently found out that I was the last two.

US Citizen, of Irish descent.

Oh, and German/Irish.

American, First gen(mothers side) 3rd gen(fathers side) so that makes me 2nd gen by average :) . mostly Scottish(65%+), next is norwegian(12.5%), and the rest is german, english, irish.

I'd move to the scottish highlands or edinburagh(excuse the spelling), Japan, Israel, norway, and italy.

Mongol Horde, most americans like the english much more than the french. maybe you're only second.

I am a New Zealand the rest is irrelavent

I am a New Zealand the rest is irrelavent

Really? ;) :D
Hehehehe
And you are right. The rest is kinda completely irrelevant. We are kiwis!
But I do like knowing what my ancestry is.

I'd probably go live in Europe somewhere, or mebbe Canada.

I forget to answer to other thing.

I could move to France, if it weren't for French politics. :p

Maybe Australia otherwise...

I'd move to [...] Israel
Just out of curiosity, why?

A quick view of this thread reveals alot of people who would move to australia if they had to.

If this holds true for the larger population, then their could be more potential immigrants for australia then the current population of australia.

ummm, if I had to move, I'd certainly go somewhere warmer. maybe italy or spain or south-western US or maybe Australia (can't really say since I haven't been to Australia yet, I'll check it out first :) ). France would be an option too.

I consider myself Austrian....especially when watching Alpine Skiing in TV :)
Mainly European the rest of the time.

If I could move I would move either to Spain (climate - I hate cold weather), but I also find Sweden or New Zealand interesting (job opportunites and culturewise)

Ah, but what does it say in your soul? :cool:Made in Taiwan :blush:

And platypuses!

Platypi. I think :mischief:

You'll be lucky to find one in the wild. They're increasingly rare.

If you do move, come and live on the east coast, in Newcastle. It's a beautiful city (not as nice as bathurst though...) :)

what a weirdo.

but anyway, im English and as far as i know(or want to know) my entire family is English.

if i had to move to another country it would most likely be USA or any other English speaking country, except Ireland as they hate the English

If i were to move to another country, It will most likely be either France or Spain. I just love the Meditteranean climate, which is very similar to Perth's climate.

If i were to move to another country, It will most likely be either France or Spain.
France would be a good choice if it were not full of French

w00t this was a bump if i ever saw one! :lol:

I am born in Sweden of Swedish parents and therefore consider myself Swedish, which also is what my passport says. If I was to move to another country there are several possibilities for different reasons.

List some of them then :p

Im German, Norweigian, Irish, and Polish. im positive about the norwiegian irish and german but polish and many other eastern euro countries may be in my roots. but the US of A is my home.

25% Chinese and 75% Taiwanese.

But I consider myself to be a bit of an alien, because people tend to have this feeling of strangeness, or me not belonging when I'm around in both America and in Taiwan.

According to my heritage I am about 75% Prussian, but I view myself as an American before a Prussian. Yes I know Prussia no longer exists. I mean the Prussia of the 1800's. We were from an area in the former Danzig (Gdansk) Corridor.

We were from an area in the former Danzig (Gdansk) Corridor.

That would be Western Prussia, and yes it still exist's as an area (Part of Poland since 1919), but not as an independent nation (Turned to Germany in 1871).

American.

If I ever move out of this country, I'm gonna try real hard to learn the language of the country I'm going too.

I'm Dutch, or rather, Netherlandish.

From my father site, every single ancestor was born in the Netherlands tracable from 1800 or so.
My mother's mother's side is also fully Netherlandish.
My mother's father' family comes from Germany, but I do no exactly rememember where they decided to move. My grandfather's grandfather might be born in Germany, most certainly his father.

I was born in the eastern part of the Netherlands (thus not in Holland).

I always wonder howmany Americans (not only onn this site) have Irish, Scottish, German, native American, Italian, Spanish, Hispanic (whatever that may be), Dutch or Russian ancestors, whereas hardly anyone mentions English, French or African ancestors.

I guess around 1830, americans were mostly English/French/African, mixed with small portions of Dutch and Swedish.
I know huge immigration waves have been there, but most certianly the English and French roots must be there, right?
And African.... well, not too many blacks here, I guess.

List some of them then :p

Why not? :)

USA - California to be more specific. Never been there, seduced by American movie- and TV-industry. :p

Australia - Never been there either, but I reckon I could settle in there. Some of my friends go backpacking there every once in a while and they keep going back there for some reason. :)

Norway - Hey hey hey. :) Nice people, not too far away from home either. :p Been there just once, but I have lots of friends (Swedish) living and working in Oslo.

Canada - No, just kidding. :D

I always wonder howmany Americans (not only onn this site) have Irish, Scottish, German, native American, Italian, Spanish, Hispanic (whatever that may be), Dutch or Russian ancestors, whereas hardly anyone mentions English, French or African ancestors.

Yes, maybe, maybe, yes, no, no, no (unless you count portugese), maybe, yes.

For me, at least. ;)

I'm unsure exactly what my maternal grandfather's heritage was. Quite possibly there was Irish, Dutch, German and Scottish in him.

Ironically, I can claim the Irish through my Russian/Indian side of the family....

I always wonder howmany Americans (not only onn this site) have Irish, Scottish, German, native American, Italian, Spanish, Hispanic (whatever that may be), Dutch or Russian ancestors, whereas hardly anyone mentions English, French or African ancestors.
Thats because the French migrated to other areas outside America and the English migration was pretty far back timewise and was relativily small when compared to the waves of people from other european countries. To find english ancestry you have to stay on the east coast; New England Yankees and probably VA and the Carolinas.

That said I am an American and I have primarily English/Scots/Irish in my geneological record.

I consider myself Scandinavian, counting finland into that group aswell. If I had to move outside Scandinavia Id choose Ireland because I have some family connections there and like the music ;) .

I consider myself Scandinavian, counting finland into that group aswell.

Finland is not in Scandinavia. ;)

I'm the chairman of the CFC's Haitian Posters Association :king:
More precisly, Quececker (mother side) of Haitian descent (father side)
So I guess my roots are in France and in West Africa

Canada - No, just kidding. :D

Suuuuuure you are :p

Finland is not in Scandinavia.

Thats why I specifically mentioned that I count it as part of Scandinavia. Thats absolutely not ment as an insult, Im half-Finnish myself and I love Finland ;) .

100% American. ;)

By heritage, I am 50% Nowegian, 25% German/Swiss, and 25% European Mongrel (Mostly Scottish, but some English, French, and who knows what else thrown in).

I have lived in Germany and Italy, and have visited several other European countries, but if I really had to leave the USA, I think my first choice would be Australia.

Me a jew from Baltics.
I don't think of moving right now.
Hi Eli!

I am an Indian , by residence , nationality , and blood . More specifically , I can trace my ancestry to the sage Jamadagni from my father's side , and the sage Atri from my mother's .

If I had to move , I would move to the USA .

I'm Dutch and i'm proud of it :) and offcourse European hihi

That would be Western Prussia, and yes it still exist's as an area (Part of Poland since 1919), but not as an independent nation (Turned to Germany in 1871).

That's what I meant, I know it still exists, its Polish now. I believe it to be a part of Germany still (even though it isn't), worthless Treaty of Versailles. And I didn't mean as an independent nation.
