A mix of Dutch, Irish, English, and American, if you want to go back to the beginnings. My parents were born and raised in Canada.
 
I'm 50% Sicilian, and 25% French, and a mixxed bag for the rest. My Grandparents on my dad's side was the first of the family to come to the U.S. from Palermo, Sicily.

My mom is half French and who knows what else.
 
If you go back about 2 million years then I'm African. :D


Mostly English, with some Welsh. I did have an American great-grandmother, though thats basically English when you go back far enough.
 
You missed Celtic from the list. I'm sure my ginger beard and outrageous love of being drunk must have come from the Celts, who originate from Spain back down the line.
 
Parentage on both sides is Hungarian. Mothers side of the family is more from the Transylvanian regions originally and move up to Békéscsaba after the first world war. Fathers side comes from around the Austrian borders. I was born in France but grew up in Australia and have a Greek name, just to make matters a little more confusing!
 
Dad was born in cyprus. So from my dads side would be turkish,cypriot and maybe arabs before that. Dont really know where they came from before that

Mum was born in australia a few months after my grandmother came from italy and my grandfather(born in italy) might have a bit of french.

I was born in Melbourne and have "Asian"(very black) hair and tanned skin with Black eyes. People say i look like a middle eastern terrorist.

What group would i go under??
Oh and my surname is Mustafa XD

Cultural background!

This has nothing to do with bloodline for me. Which seems to be what people are answering.

Although I have no Asian blood to my knowledge, I would put an important Asian influence in my Cultural background. However I will be very Western European since that is where I grew up, where I live and interact mostly.
Western European means that we are watching US series on television and thus have an important influence of that on our culture, even if we do not live it. We now celebrate (that is culture) Halloween here, go figure!
 
Erm well...

95% Asian and 5% Europe.

My ancestor are from Netherland and from Majapahit empire. Pretty weird combo. :P
 
Transylvanian regions

Protect yourself!! :lol:
 
50% Yorkshire and 50% Yorkshire.

100% English, totally white Britsh, exceptionally boring.
 
1 - 50% Portuguese + 50% Portuguese (I won't write 100% so Shem won't edit me to prime beef also) :sly:

2 - Shem, celts don't originate from Spain, there was no Spain down here at the Peninsula to begin with. :D

3 - Celts don't originate from the Peninsula either, they came here as they went to other far parts of Europe, notably Ireland where their influence is still more visible because you guys were less romanized later ... anyway, it seems only the Atlantic Ocean could stop the celts :lol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts
 
I thought they was from around that region.

That's what happens when I think something is the case but don't bother to confirm my knowledge, I make a mistake.

Thanks for pointing that out, that's my new bit of information learnt for today. 👍
 
The earliest archaeological culture commonly accepted as Celtic, or rather Proto-Celtic, was the central European Hallstatt culture (c. 800-450 BC), named for the rich grave finds in Hallstatt, Austria.[2] By the later La Tène period (c. 450 BC up to the Roman conquest), this Celtic culture had expanded over a wide range of regions, whether by diffusion or migration: to the British Isles (Insular Celts), France and The Low Countries (Gauls), much of Central Europe, the Iberian Peninsula (Celtiberians, Celtici and Gallaeci) and northern Italy (Golaseccans and Cisalpine Gauls)[3] and following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC as far east as central Anatolia (Galatians).[4]

We're all Austrians :lol:
 
We're all Austrians

Entirely Cantonese from head-to-toe.

See, proof that not all of us are descended from Austrians :sly:


I actually read a little bit about the Hallstatt culture last night. Interesting, it looks as though my Dad's side could be of Austrian descent, then again, I am also of Anglo-Saxon descent (like many English people). Either way, my distant (but not too distant) family roots probably lie somewhere in Central and Western Europe.
