What's your heritage?

Aww, can I adopt you then? :woot2:

Erm...I'm pretty my ancestry is:

Mom's Side - German, Austrian, English, and a tiny bit of Cherokee Native American

Dad's Side - a lot of Irish lol

I know that my great-great-great-grandfather originally came from Germany. He could hardly speak English and my great-grandmother remembers how he used to pour his coffee out into a little saucer.

Sure you can! I love leashes. 😀 :jester:

That's cool how your great-grandmother remembers your great-great-grandfather! My one grandfather was 100% Greek and the only English he would speak was when he watched westerns. You'd hear "sunnovabeetsh! Get the sunnovabeetsh! You basserds! You les him getway you suupid fewls!" coming from the living room. :jester:

My other pap was 100% Polish and didn't learn English until he moved here when he was 12 years old and still used Polish as his primary language until he died. Yeah, grandfathers are kewl! :happyhop:
 
There is no such thing as 1/3 in ancestry; all fractions have denominators which are powers of 2. 😛

As for me, my father's ancestors came from Barcelona originally. In 1492, they were expelled from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella for being Jewish and settled in Salonika. Many generations later, my paternal grandparents were born in Salonika when it was still part of the Ottoman Empire in the 1880's. They came to New York in 1910. (The city of their birth is now part of Greece and now named Thessaloniki.)

My mother's parents were born in the 1890's in the town of Kolomeia which was then in the province of Galicia of the Empire of Austria-Hungary. Her father and mother came to New York in 1910 and 1914 respectively. (That town is now part of Ukraine. It was, at various times, ruled by Poland, Russia, Germany, and Russia again.)

Milagros, I would love to be able to trace my heritage back like that. I am 100% Jewish, that I know. My paternal grandmother was from Lithuania and was driven out by the Czars, she came over in her teens with her nephew whose parents were already here and sent for them, she lost touch with the rest of her family a few years after, we only assume they were lost with other jews of the time in the camps. My paternal grandfather was from the Austria area, my grandfather on moms side was from the Russia area, I don't know the heritage of my maternal grandmother, she was born here I think but where her family was originally from I don't know. My grandparents spoke mostly Yiddish.

Sunnovabeetsh? Bwahaha, that is hilarious! :bwahaha: I love stories about the quirks of grandparents. 😀 My grandmother on my father's side actually rode a horse to school! 😱 Being a country girl and all...XD

Aww, yeah I remember you telling me that you're fluent in Polish. 😀 Forgot the other language you mentioned, though. XD Your ancestors sound very interesting, that's for sure. ^^
 
On my mom's side, hypertension, and high cholesterol, which seems to have bypassed me. On my dad's: diabetes (which hasn't), and a seeming predisposition to cancer. That's some heritage.
 
Ooooo. 😉 😈

That might be the coolest thing that I've ever heard! :bounce:
 
Dad's side is german...mom's side is a weird mix of dutch, cherokee, and souix....i'd really hate to see how that mix got in there lol
 
Jewish. I'm not religious. The next two days are Passover, and I won't be observing.

My family is exactly half Russian, and half Polish. My maternal grandmother's parents, and paternal grandfather's parents, were from Russia, while my paternal grandmother's parents, and maternal grandfather's parents, were from Poland.

Greek.

Correction; Thessaloniki was Greek AGES before the Ottomans overran Greece. Your ancestors entered while it was occupied, but it was Greek, just had some bully squatters on it.

I know, I'm from that region also. Unfortunately we never got Northern Greece back from those aggressors ---- I still say Constantinople, not Istanbul, yeah, yeah, I know the song,
since it was Greece centuries before the Ottoman Empire got too powerful & greedy. 🙁

Had family there too, many escaped to Thessaloniki within the past few decades.

Our Greek Orthodox Patriarchate is still in (Constantinople). We're a small population and the discrimination is fierce. It's just not on the front page
since we're a smaller number and Turkey is of course
always strategically placed ---- since it's occupying Northern Greece ----

So Turkey lucked out sitting on Northern Greece between the Cold War, with access to Russia in demand
and now with Turkey being a big deal since it's a
secular Muslim country, etc.,
so we're lucky if we can even someday get back the lands just recently taken from us in Cyprus.
(This is one reason why Constantinople/N. Greece was so valuable, it has such a key position between East & West).

Turks invaded Cyprus in 1974 !! ---
That was a recent aggression, and nobody practically knows any of this is going on, because Turkey has such political pull.

Oh well. Is it worth a war? No, the loss of life would be too high on either side, any loss of life is too high,
and the funny thing is there was so much (interbreeding, stolen Greek children, etc) that a lot of Turks are in good part Greek and don't even know it.
And yes, then I might be 1/20th Turkish, who knows.
 
^ Woo hoo! A fellow folk with Greek heritage! :happyhop: 😛

Not from the same region though. My grandfather was from Crete.
 
Irish, English, some french-Canadian... though I don't speak a stick of french 😀
