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 do want to find out more about my Irish ancestory, as I really want to visit Ireland someday. It would be interesting to make some pitstops at places which have significance in my family's history. I have no idea if my ancestory is from Northern Ireland or the Republic though.

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'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.

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.

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.
Now I really wish I knew more about my ancestry. My father was orphaned and adopted so I know pretty much nothing from his side of the family.
On my mother's side, I do know for a fact that my grandmother's great grandmother came to the States from Stuttgart, Germany. I don't remember exactly where/how I picked it up but I may also have a bit of Greek blood as well. Everything else is a mystery. I do want to investigate further in the future; I've always found ancestry/genealogy fascinating.
