Just curious, but what side of your family do you side the closest with? Ya know, like if your father has italian lineage and your mother has british..which one you will say you are the quickest?

German - My fathers.

My mothers is Scottish, but they have been in the us for many generations (my grandmother was a member of the DAR), so theyre pretty americanized. My fathers family was a pretty recent import to the US. Also since my last name is of german descent I just seem to identify withthem. Wierd 'cause I have only met them about 4 times, yet I lived 2 doors down the street from my moms parents.

My dad's - Irish

For a couple of reasons, it's more fun being Irish; I look more like that side of the family (blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin); and I just feel more attached to that culture.
My mom's family considers themselves Czech, but they were originally gypsies so there are many different cultures rolled up into one.

[COLOR=firebrick] Oops, forgot to put my own.

Native American- Mama's side

My grandmother is half Cherokee, Beaver clan (if I hear any jokes I will find you and beat you..lol) I'm closer to that side anyway, out of 11 siblings of my mothers, there's plenty of communication!

My fathers side is Irish Catholic and Jewish..(very odd I know..) we're not so close to his side.

Mine's not hard.... My parents were born in the same city in Sicily!

Neither...ethnicity doesn't really play a role.

When asked 'what I am'...I just say I'm local.

But for those who are wondering--Dad's Filipino, Japanese, Hawaiian, and Russian...Mom's straight up Filipino.

my dad's side-Irish

i'm a quarter irish, 1/2 german, 1/8 french and 1/8 english, but my last name is irish (as is my first and middle name) so that's what i identify with the most.

FuzzieAlum · #10 12-20-2002, 08:34 PM

I'm Russian, Finnish, German, and Bohemian, with a Dutch surname, but the only traditions from any of those lands still alive in my family are Finnish, so I'd have to go with that.

My father's side. We're Azorean Portugese, and I really look like that side of the family--short and curvey with curly red hair and dark eyes. My Mum's side is German/Hungarian/Dutch, and the only thing I've got from them is the pale skin. They're all really tall and thin with dark hair and blue eyes. I always wanted to look more like that side of the family growing up.

The irony of it all is my family and my young man's family both originated from Castille and migrated--mine to Portugal, then MA; his to Puerto Rico, then NYC.

Well, I'm 1/2 Korean, 1/4 Spanish, and 1/4 Hawaiian.

My dad's 1/2 Korean and Spanish and my mom is 1/2 Korean and 1/2 Hawaiian......just a lot of numbers.....

However, I look more Hawaiian than everything else......so I just say I'm Hawaiian and Korean.

I'm closer with my mom's side which are a mixture of Spanish, Moroccan, and Turkish. I see them more often since they live close to my parents house.

My father's side is all in Cleveland so I see them maybe once every two years. That side is Austrian, Hungarian, Russian, and Polish.

If I had to go by eye and hair color, then it's my dad's side (they have lighter hair and eyes). My olive skin tones comes from my mother's side.

Those are the boxes I usually check off. Sometimes I check off "Green" to be silly! ^_^. I AM HALF MEXICAN, HALF WHITE. I know I have some other exotic shit in my family line but I am too lazy to research anyone who isn't alive.
