I’m French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent?
Mother—Lefkas, Greece
Father—Kalymnos, Greece
Both islands. Lefkas is part of the seven island chain to the west. Kalymnos is part of a twelve island chain to the east near Turkey.

My Dad’s grandma came over here from Czech around 1900 or shortly after. That side is solidly Czech.
My mom (no pic) was adopted so we don’t know her side but her DNA is 42% Scandinavian with some other European.

Father - Scottish, Native American

Is your mother part black? If so, Creole, if not, Cajun, but most likely part french.
Father: Irish

England. Pretty much all of them.
Last year my sister (no pics) did the Ancestry DNA test and it came back something like 90% from England. I think the other 10% was like Ireland, Scotland, etc.
I was disappointed that there wasn't anything more interesting mixed in there. So, I can't claim to be 1/2048 Native American, have distant African relatives, or even anything from the Eastern side of Europe.

Iowa and Florida
Before that, Wales and Austria.
My Pocahontas story is that someone way back in my mother's family was a Hapsburg of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Hapsburgs. Who knows? Who cares?
One of these days, just for a lark, I may do a reputable DNA assessment. I'll be hoping for a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Because that would just be fun to learn.

I know what you mean. "I'm as white bread as you can get" is a lousy pickup line.
You won't get very far up the ladder in the DNC saying that, either.
I just need to pick better events. I'd be crazy popular at American History X watch parties!
Mom: Czech
Dad: Irish
Basically, my roots go back to when white met bread.

One of my Grandfather's was from Canada but we don't know where they came from before then.
The rest of us were just a bunch of poor people and have no clue where we came from past North Carolina. lol
One of these days I'd love to have the time to invest in properly tracking it back through one of those genealogy sites. But right now that's no option.

Paternal Grandfather: Germany
Paternal Grandmother: Belgium
Maternal Grandfather: Germany I think
Maternal Grandmother: England
Interesting side note, I accidentally named my eldest child after my 3x Great Grandfather along the male line. I didn't find out until afterwards.

Mostly German if the details are accurate.
Everyone in my family is well built (not fat), blonde and has either blue or green eyes, so it makes sense.
Oh, and I've had several students tell me I look like various Nazis from war movies. So there's that, I guess.
