      I'm 3/8 German, 1/4 British, 1/8 Dutch, 1/8 Slovak, and 1/8 Magyar.

      I've found one of my ancestral German villages (a tiny village named Bittingen next to the Möhnesee on the northern edge of the Sauerland in Nordrhein-Westfalen), and I know where my Slovak ancestor originated (Papradno, in the Northwestern most corner of Slovakia), as well as my Magyar ancestor (Budapest).

            3/4 Norwegian
            1/4 Low German

            My paternal great grandfather Andrei (later Aglicized to Andrew) was the son of a Bergen fisherman. He and is new wife Anna settled on a farmstead near Lake Park, MN (about 30 miles east of Fargo) in 1901. They had 15 kids (but 5 died before thier first birthday because of disease, mainly TB )

            All I know about my German ancestors is that that my Mom's grandfather was from Hamburg.

              It appears from your story that it would cost me cash.

              That would offend my Scottish grandmother.

                        You don't stand up to a woman like that unless you want to get knocked down.

                            Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                              I can trace ancestors back to Denmark, Germany, Austria and Ireland but there's a lot of other stuff thrown in. One side of my family claims they came over on the Mayflower - more of an exaggeration than an actual claim. The other side claimed some Native American ancestry mixed in.

                              I heard one of my grandmothers was still in contact with her Danish relatives but apparently that faded away. We can trace back to the Irish guy who came over. My great-grandfather was a small child when they came over from Germany. The relative from Austria was a small girl when she was sent to America to live with family - something about the house burning down. I don't have any information on who I might be related to in the old countries.

                                So when I got married I asked my wife to see how thin it was going to be sliced for our children and her answer surprised me.

                                Quite the coincidence.
