what continent did your folks come from?

[Brutillus]

I suppose we all came from Africa orginally, but I think of myself as Irish-American. what continent did your folks come from or have you been living in one place for a few thousand years?

Isn't it funny how nobody ever describes themselves as English-American or British-American even though that's where the original settlers came from!

[Melancholy Man]

My ethnic stock is likely the result of North Britain being raped and pillaged by half a dozen cultures.

W.A.S.P. doesn't sound appealing.

What's puzzling me is Brutillus' impression that Zanibar is a continent.

of course I know Zanzibar isn't really a continent, but it was put on the poll as a choice for those who feel unsure of their origins, secretive, or just plain wierd.

Or Freddy Mercury of course - the only person anybody's ever heard of to be born in Zanzibar.

Europe. I'm Scots-Irish, (or maybe just plain Irish...we aren't really sure) French, German, and Russian/Jewish.

It would be scary if he came on the boards. I'm not sure if I'd agree with that...

[lostinthought451]

Europe and North America. I'm part Ojibwa Indian. *feels special*

Ooh, and I have Irish, German, Scottish, Polish and Welsh in me.

[Will]

It would be scary if he came on the boards. I'm not sure if I'd agree with that, purly because I was born on another continant even though I'm British through and through.

I'd be ~*iguana*~ terrified if he came on the boards, he's dead.

Rape and pillage for me too.

[Max]

I can honestly say that I don't have a ~*iguana*~ clue. British for a few generations, sure, with a bit of South American and Jewish thrown in for good measure.

[Æsahættr]

I'm 100% Scottish. At least 8 generations of my ancestors were born in Scotland.

[Brutillus]

I bet you're nuts about baskethilts and kilts...crazy (what was it somebody called them on here once?) Scots.

[Enitharmon]

Harwich for the Continent

Frinton for the Incontinent

[Laura]

I'm a good Swedish-Dutch girlie.

Except for the part of me that is Sioux!

[Trillian]

I'm erm.. primarily Irish-Portuguese-Chinese.

Poorest gorbels of Glasgow, greenest outskirts of Leeds, lushest fields of county Kerry and er... Hull and Surrey. Though I myself am North London born and a veteran Hertfordshirite. I've been around.
