I thought I will create another poll to supplement what Guy tried to do before, but change the emphasis from merely ONLY the European countries to encompass the whole world. In any case, it seemed more to do with us than GL, so, I decided to move both the polls here! Please tell us what your ethnic/national origin is, if you will! Thank you. What is your or your ancestral ethnic origin, please? (Result) Native North American (Native American and Canadian) - tribe? Native Central American - tribe? Native Northern South American - tribe? Native Central South American - tribe? Native Southern South American - tribe? North-Western European (Greenlander, British, Irish, Scandinavian (specify)), French, German, etc.) North-Eastern European (Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, etc.) Southern European (Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Turkish, etc.) North-Western and Central Asian (Kazakh, Mongol, Turkmen, Chinese, etc.) Middle-Eastern Asian (Syrian, Iraqi, Israeli, Saudi Arabian, etc.) South-Western Asian (Iranian, Afghan, Pakistani, Indian, Sri Lankan, Burmese, etc.) South-Eastern Asian (Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, etc.) North-Eastern Asian (Korean, Japanese, etc.) North African (Moroccan, Libyan, Egyptian, etc.) Central African (from the Congo, Mozambique, etc.) South African (Botswanan, Namibian, South African, etc.) Native Australian (including Papua New Guniea, etc.,) Native New Zealanader (Maori) Anything I have missed - please forgive and specify - thank you!

By the time it gets down to me, I'm just a plain ol' white/caucasian American, and proud of it. God Bless America!

Norwegian, Russian, British, Scottish and Irish A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

My cousin married a beautiful Ashkenazy Jewish lady. His two sons can claim, with equal truth, either India or Germany as their ethnic origin - or both - depending on how they feel on that day Malar "Looking back at life, I find I have often received more than I ever expected and suffered less than my share of disappointments." - Tony Hillerman.

My grand parents/Parents came from Ark,Mis,Mo,Kan and La. My mom was orphaned at a very early age and my Dad left us when I was 5 years old so I don't have much to go on. About the only thing I know is what my niece has dug up on the internet. Just call me a PROUD American.

I think my mother's family came from England. My dad seems to have some Native American Indian blood ( I would guess Cherokee) just by looking at him, but I don't know that for sure.

(My mom knows all of this) My mom's family was in the Oklahoma land rush and actually rode in a covered wagon to claim land. Crazy! My mother traced her side of the family back to the Mayflower. (She was into Genealogy for a while.) My husband is French, but his origin is 1/2 Polish and 1/2 Moroccan. So he has really beautiful skin! Elizabeth
