Your Ethnicity/Heritage.

**Roman Clone** · October 28, 2008, 08:15 PM

Note to self: Learn to read a dictionary before even thinking about posting a topic on TWC, for I fear that I may have used the terms wrong.

What is your ethnicity? (preferably in percent.) Do you look like the typical person of your major ethnicity?

50% Swedish (Hälsingland), 25% English (Derbyshire), 25% American (Kentucky).

25% French-Canadian, 25% Dutch, 50% Chinese.

The tribe of Tarbelli was a region of Gallia Aquitania, located in the region of present-day southern France, bordering Spain. My people were conquered by invading Romans, and were forced into servitude, as noted by the autobiography of Julius Caesar. When the Roman Empire fell, they moved to Brittania, and centuries later, to Canada.

From there, they moved to Midwestern America, in which my grandfather met my Dutch grandmother. My family moved later on to Southern California.

My mother's side.... is unfortunately untraceable. All I know is that they are Han Chinese. Other than that, I do not know.

Ah well. I still think my entire name is awesome, what with its literal definition.

I am quite literally, "The Tatooed Wandering Man of the Black Rock Clan."

Yeah, I'm a Chi'ite, although cultural-wise, I probably consider myself more 75% White, and 25% Chinese.

Grandmother: 25% German

And It's great being American, cause then no matter what my heritage I'm just like everyone else "American".:usflag: (Though Greeks rock)

My fathers side is German. My forefathers name was Cölmann but is now Coleman after they moved to England from Frankfurt or Saarbrücken, in around 1100-1300AD. My Mothers is Welsh and herself carries a Welsh first and last name, along with her family.

I have a really old hand drawn and written crest that says "Coleman - Englisch". Notice the German spelling of the word English. It also says the founder of my family was named Cölmann I. Interesting eh?

Today I have German family who carry the name Brack. The half of my family who didn't move.
I still speak German and support my Deustcher Fußball-Bund and 1. FC Saarbrücken.

**Strattios** · October 28, 2008, 09:20 PM

My dad changed his name after he moved out of his mothers house. Before that it was something else for one generation because the Nazi's killed my Great grandfather and my relatives had to flee. I think our name was Danish or something like that.

So after 900 years your familly still speaks German and you are still in contact with them? WTF!

That beats the record of 99.99% of self regarding Euro-Aristos. I can safely say that it is highly unlikely you would be able to trace your family back to 1100 - unless you are royalty or very, very old established aristocracy.

Altogether improbable, you'd have more than a 'I have a really old hand drawn and written crest'.

Sorry to be a buble burster.

Me?

50% English - father
50% Dutch - mother. They came to Holland from Italy via Prussia, France and Indonesia. Mother actually born in Borneo where my grandfather was a colonial administrator. I think someone was born 'on the wrong side of the sheets' over there as my mother's familly and I have a orientalish look. I tan easily

25% Spanish (Dad) + 75% Meso-American (Mum) = 100% Mexican.

**John I Tzimisces** · October 28, 2008, 09:00 PM

Mom:
50% Armenian from Sepastia/Sivas
50% Armenian from Gesaria/Kayseri

Dad:
87.5% Irish from who the hell knows where.
12.5% Czech, also, from who the hell knows where.

In conclusion I'm more Armenian

**Kamos** · October 28, 2008, 09:12 PM

I don't have any percentages I've never cared that much but I'd say I have strong Scottish and Irish routes with a hint of Native American.

**aarons got funky fresh** · October 28, 2008, 09:24 PM

Father is 100% Irish from Co. Monaghan, my mother is Spanish from Bilbao but I don't really care about my Spanish heritage, I've been there once when I was a kid, I don't look even remotely Spanish and speak pretty basic Spanish. Although I'd like to take up interest in Spain and learn Spanish one day.

I never say to anyone "half Irish/half Spanish", always "Irish". Guess I'm just proud of my Irish side and lack interest in my Spanish one.
