Popo, yeah...I have heard that...but I could be Greek, is what I've been
 told...in America, I just say I'm Italian...which is better in your estimation?  Should I just say Sicilian?

italian and sicilian are 2 different things, ariala

ask any italian    LOL

Have you noticed that there is a lot of sicily-italy tention??  Every sicilian i know (i know a few... i worked at a sicilian bakery)  is offended by being called italian.... 

oh well 

Italians are muts anyway... they've been taken over by just about everybody at one time or another!!

Heinz 57

On my father's side - I am a Russian descended from Germany both sides (and I can go back to the 1600's in my geneaology chart and I think pretty much German - my grandparents immigrated through Ellis Island in the late 1800's or early 1900-s - I've found them on the Ellis Island site - then moved to Canada where my father was born.

On my mother's side - I am Finnish (my great grandmother) both sides but my great great grandparents were from Sweden;  my grandfather was from Switzerland, and his parents were Swiss German. My grandmother was born in the US and moved to Canada to wed my grandfather.

My daughter is all this plus Irish and English (on her grandmother's father's side) and English on her grandfather's side, as well as native american indian (great grandparents on grandmother's side) - but I don't know which nation for sure.  Her grandmother is still a US citizen, but is married to a Canadian and lives in Canada. 

I love genealogy. It screws me right up!

American mutt

If we go back 2 generations you have

Black foot Indian

who married a Freed African Slave

who's child married the product of

A cherokee Indian and an Irish Imigrant.

From these people, my mother was born..

She had an affair with a Jamaican who could be

of any nationality if you know anything about Jamaica.

My poor kids I guess Are more Jamaican than anything because

I married an Jamaican as well.
