Pride of your Ancestry

[Dave A]

I have no pride in my ancestry, but even if I did it'd be a ball ache trying to get my head around where I'm form anyway. I make a joke about being a decendent of the vikings, which I am, but I don't care all that much beyond saying so before a football match and then crippling one of the opposition players. I've got decendents from Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, Germany and more. Only very recently a relative of mine in Norway on my dads side died, he was the last living relative that wasn't born in England. I consider myself English and that's that, not Irish-English, not Norwegian-English, just English.

Philippino

Well, I think in the English spelling is Filipino. Though that in the Philippines there is no F but the Ph...try to joke around with the word "Pack". But it depends how you look at it.

As for me, I am full-blooded Filipino. From what my mom told me, most of my Ancestors were slaves for Christopher Columbus(mother side). I would like to know about my ancestors but closely, I would like to know about my late grandpa. Who help the Americans soldiers in the WII, but same goes for my late grandma when my dad told me that the Japanese convicted her for housing and helping the Filipino Guerrillas. That is all I know about my bloodline. Add to this, most of my mother side is from the Military. My dad was were the celebs I believe, I have been told that my dad side had a movie director in the family.

I am part Chinese and part Korean, but only I have some sort of strong national pride out of my family members, parents aside. Our family name had to be changed following certain personal issues, so that may have erased any reason for us to feel different enough to possess any sort of pride for being who we are.

A very interesting issue it is, nationality and ancestry...
