    Default What is Your Family Mix

    I got this from Blooz commenting he is a mutt.

    I am Irish, Hungarian, German, and Dutch.

    Broken down it would be about 70% Irish and the rest broken down about even.

    About a quarter Norwegian, 1/8 Irish (those are the two largest contiguous pieces of heritage), and the rest is english/welsh/scottish etc. blend of some kind. I can't remember, I may have a tiny bit of french too. No Deutsch though.

    So I guess I am a west coast suburb raised 'Mericun! :

    Sociology is cool! 50% Syrian and the rest is a jumble of Irish, English, Swedish, and German. Mix it up, 'yo'

    Just getting to know our fellow fretters

    We know names, nationality, age, what they drive, then there is Jim's thread about our favorites (I should bump that for the new fretters).

    I'm going to post one soon on what is your favorite credit card and what is the number, expiration date and that code on the back.
