    German, French, Irish, Scottish, a tad English. That's all Anglo ain't it? Our family tree is branching out now as our Grandson's Dad's Great-Grandfather was 100% Comanche. You should see the Family reunions when everyone starts channeling one or the other ancestral attitudes! Heated conversation would be an understatement. Now we'll have to keep an eye out for tomahawks. :)

    Both my parents were born in the USA. My father's parents both emigrated from Greece. My mother's grandmother was born in Germany. My mother's side was very matriarchal in that they never even talked about the men they married, so any other mix I am not aware of.

    I'll give all 3 guesses the first Two don't Count:D Since I was born there.

    Even though I lived in Canada since 67, and served in the Canadian Army for 5+ years I will never fallow no Queen's Regulations.
    My City was there 1,000++++ years before Jesus, therefore my heart and soul I'll give to my King and Country. Que Viva España!

    :DJAJAJAJAJJA -- A great-grandmother was described as west-indian-Spanish in the Ellis Island archive. So the Caribbean Indians are not extinct, not quite. She was daughter of a guy of Asturias and therefore almost neighbour of the ancestors of "Spaniard".

    The other, Spanish, some ancestor arrived from Italy in 1806.

    And a great grandfather with surname of Germanic origin who married the west-indian-Spanish great-grandmother.

    PS: The NW Spanish were Celtic.
