Based on you last names, Where is your family from?

Sweden! Smaland specifically.
 
You're not a dirty Scot Kan, your a FLUFFY Scot :love:.
 
I recently discovered that one of my great-great grandmothers was Finnish, which surprised me. xD I also found that I have a lot of McCurdys on my father's side of the family. That family was apparently Scottish, but later moved to Ireland at some point.
 
My last name is (not literally) German. Never could figure out what ethnicity my father was, but he has a German last name!
 
My last name was changed by a great grandfather to hide from the German merchant navy. So it's not really representative of my mostly anglo-celtic ancestry.
 
Maternal grandfather: Italian
Maternal grandmother: German
Paternal grandfather: Portuguese
Paternal grandmother: Dutch
 
Maternal grandfather: English
Maternal grandmother: Irish
Paternal grandfather: English
Paternal grandmother: German

If anyone knows the ethnic origins of the name "Frame" please do tell. Thats my last name and its probably quite uncommon since i have never met anyone with the same last name.

It could be linked to the Swedish word "framme", which means... Well, I can't translate it literally, so I'll give you examples of how it can be used:

"Är vi framme snart?"
"Are we there soon?"

"Han kom fram igår."
"He arrived yesterday."

"Låt mig komma fram!"
"Let me come through!"

"Jag satt längst fram."
"I sat in the front."

Maybe some older Swedish spelling? :confused: It does make sense in the context of emigration, in the sense of "arriving" to a new place like in the first example.
 
Mostly Irish on my father's side with a bit of German and English thrown in. My mother's parents were both native Poles.

I checked out "Frame" on ancestry.com and it seems to be mostly scottish. I have no idea when my ancestors came to this country though so its hard to determine where they came from.
