    I'm sure the poll is very euro-centric and evil,

    but unlike similar polls this one is multiple choice,

    so I think we could get some interesting stories and not just the usual namecalling and pc-answers.

    Celtic. Irish/Scot.

      Native American includes Inuit/Eskimo btw.

      well maybe the Inuits of Siberia are "Other".

              Celtic/English/Greek

              My mother's father is greek.
              My mother's mother is english.

              My father's father is scottish. (but possibly actually irish - either way, he plays the bagpipes wears a kilt and everything)
              My father's mother is scottish, I think.

                to my knowledge, I am:

                1/8 Swedish
                1/8 Lapp
                1/4 Icelandic
                the rest is Norwegian.

                of course, if you go back 1000 years, Icelanders are descendants of Norwegian vikings and their Irish slaves/wifes,

                so that makes me Finno-Ugric, Scandinavian and wee bit Celtic.

                            Roughly:

                            50%German
                            25% English

                            Rest Irish and Scottish (not sure about amounts).

                            Oh, and 100% fabulous.

                              50% English/Scotch-Irish (In America since 1640) from mom.

                              20% Portuguese (In Brazil since 1580) from dad.
                              5% Jewish (Great grandmother immigrated to Brazil from Palestine) from dad.
                              20% German (Confused about this, but apparently I am descended fro German-Brazilians somewhere along the line).
                              5% Grab bag... most likely a touch of native Brazilian Indian blood since just about everyone in Latin America has at least a dash of it.
                              Dom Pedro II - 2nd and last Emperor of the Empire of Brazil (1831 - 1889).

                              I truly believe that America is the world's second chance. I only hope we get a third...
