I've got a grandfather from Norway, a grandfather from Germany, a grandmother from Finland, and a Grandmother from Sweden. I like booze and Metal, nuff said.
Yeah, it is wierd. So many Irish folks and now thinking about the spawning of the Irish I think of a Family Guy joke about Irish woman. I'm not going to add to this Irish take-over as I will be giving some diversity to this thread.Originally Posted by Storm
I do love how so many people here have Irish ancestory, including me! Its like the Irish are secretly trying to take over the world!
I'm mostly Italian and apparently so far the only one with Italian ancestry here. Both my grandmother's are 100% Italian and one of their parents came from Naples and the other in the Calabria region (I'm thinking somewhere in the Province of Reggio di Calabria). The next biggest chunk is German, my grandfather (father's side) is 100% German however I don't know where his family originates from. From the same grandfather I have inherited a little Norwegian. From my other grandfather (mother's side) I have mostly Dutch and some Cherokee Indian.

For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting. Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge. Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm. Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear. Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs. Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque. Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm. Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real. Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul. Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming. Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies. Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be. Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger. Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.
My mother is Italian. I'm adopted, which is why I have the different heritages. They're from Montorio, which is near the top part of the "boot".
Awesome food. I've become quite the Italian food snob.
If one ties the Jewish ethnicity strictly to religion, yes. But if that were the case, I wouldn't need to list this at all.
In the eyes of Orthodox Jewry, certainly not. But their opinions on that topic change as soon as they decide to ask me for money. Then I'm suddenly as Jewish as can be and should contribute to my supposed community.
Either way, it doesn't really change that I identify as a Jew for whatever reason. It's at least as legitimate as a sober Irishman.

Until now!
My mother is from Germany...Frankfurt area. And my father came from Vietnam.
So I'm half white/ half asian. My father was one of the "boat people" who lost all their money on their way to get to a new country. His family was supposedly pretty wealthy, but they lost their fortune when the communists took over.
All of my family, minus a few aunts, live in Germany. I don't have any connection to my Vietnamese relatives, unfortunately.
