What's your ethnic background?

I guess I'll start. If memory serves me correctly, I'm part French and Italian, with a little Irish possibly mixed in.

Let's see...as far as I can tell, I'm a mutt.

British, French, Irish, Scottish and German are what's in my far, far background. I'm also half Austrian thanks to my Mom, and 1/16th each Cherokee and Comanche. There may be some more I don't know about.

I always like to tell people I'm half Austrian, half American, and half Texan

I'm 1/4 sweedish (at least) and then a little italian and french and german. the rest is too little to matter.

you could start by asking your grandparents...

if that doesn't help you enough, you might try looking up your great grandparents.
