i think Germans and Irish have the most ancestry in the United States. But if u live in my city, its Vietnamese

Ah, cool. I've got a Vietnamese cousin in London. His family emigrated to London just after the war.

my dad left vietnam 29 April 1975... fall of Saigon. He was one of the lucky ones.

My mom... she had more money and she got out years before.

Sto lat, sto lat, niech zyje zyje nam. Sto lat, sto lat, niech zyje zyje nam. Jeszcze raz, jeszcze raz, niech zyje, zyje nam. Niech zyje nam! (Only Polish I know xD)

Its a happy birthday song. It basically means happy birthday but different. I've grown accustomed to saying it out loud at my Polish families birthdays and whatnot and had to google it to see how to write it. (I was off by a lot...)

Canadian

So, although I could be classified as Canadian-American by citizenship, no one in my family was born here. The furthest that I can get back on ancestors gets only British and French backgrounds. I think that there might be a few others, but my family tree is almost impossible to find.

I too hold Canadian-American Citizenship.

My parents after they left Vietnam went to Canada. They met in University, and bam! 1 kid, then they moved to where we live now and... Bam! i'm conceived, buuut... my dad went to Georgia(State) for business and my mom went too, and BAM! i was born, making me American becuase i was born on US Sovereignty, and Canadian for being born to Canadian Citizens

As some of you already know -> German

Thinking about it again, I'm probably more like:

50% Polish, 25% Irish, 25% Austrian.

Bah.

Heritage-wise..

I'm mostly German roots, with French, British, and Irish ancestry.

It goes something like this:

Dad's side: German, French, British.

Mom's side: German, Irish, British.

Mostly German and British, as you can seem but with a little French and Irish. HA! I'm a genius.

Have some good ancestry on all sides.

Charlemagne, Ælfred the Great, King of Wessex, (Wyrd bið ful āræd, ha),

William the Conqueror (not proud of it.)

Had family in Prussia. Still have family in France, German, a few in Britain, none in Ireland.

Been talking to some of my cousins in france. Turns out one's some guy named Gaetan Chaudoin, some damned rugby player or something (never could understand the game).

Aside from that, All my foreign-country-living relatives now all own wineries >.<

America-wise, I'm an Ohioan, kind of proud of it.

I'm a Copperhead, a Northerner whose sympathy lies with the south.

Now live in southern Ky, reading up on family history.

Hooray for the all-german 9th Ohio at Mill Springs! (Civil War)

You're a mongrel.

The only vaguely famous ancestor I can 100% claim fame to is Henry VIII and the rest of the Tudor Royal Family on my Welsh side. My ancestor was an overweight, sadistic, ginger, womanizing murderer. Go me. ;D

[Jeremiah Welsh]

I am German-American.

Deutschland Heil!

[Deleted]

lol Nicholas.

Alfred wasn't all halo's, either. >.<

Half the time he was chasing after his maids, and the other half asking God for forgiveness.

Don't know much about Charlemagne.

William, I think, was a turd. Damned Norman b*stard.

So the only family member I really count as famous is the rugby dude, and I haven't even the slightest idea what rugby is, exactly.

;D

[Jeremiah Welsh]

I am Hessian, if you want to get all exact. Just found that out today.
