My son bought me a DNA test thing for a Fathers day present, it gives you a map showing where your ancestors came from back 5 generations minimum.
Mine is all UK, Scandinavia, Northern Europe.
He got one for Mrs Cat too, she has a little far East and Northern India thrown in for a bit of exotic excitement .
Oddly nothing South of the Mediterranean (you'd think a bit of African would creep up into Europe) and very little French in either of us.

[Parnell]

Paternal side came across from Ireland in the 1870's and settled in Brooklyn.  Parnell is an English name crested back to 1066 - Battle of Hastings and has strong Irish historical ties. 

Mom's family came early just before 1600 through Virginia.  They are, more than anything, masonic. (British Isles)

[Buffalogobbler]

On my mothers side, Pennsylvania Dutch and my fathers side English. My grandparents came over from England, last name Raybould, there is a crest that I saw once and the name goe's back through England and into Germany.

My father is Russian, his father Belarus. My mother is Russian, her mother is from Israel. I have lived in the US most of my life.

[agd68]

Danish / English on my father's side and Scots / Micmac on mother's side. One of my ancestors and one of my wife's ancestors served together in the New Jersey Volunteers ; a loyalist regiment; and came to Canada from the US after the rebellion lol.

Ancestory is interesting.  My maternal grandpa said we were black dutch, blonde dutch, highland dutch, lowland dutch, and the whole damn dutch.  In other words, kraut.  On my dad's side, they all came from the same two counties in North Carolina and eventually settled in the Ozark county area of southern Missouri around 1820 or so and live there to this day.  Some moved to Oklahoma.  They first migrated to North Carolina from Scotland I believe.  Here they mixed heavily with the local natives and made their way west to Missouri where other mixed bloods settled (perhaps by force?).  The only exception was my dad's dad who was German.  That is where my name ( Egger ) comes from ( Austria, Bavaria ).

[BOWMAN53]

my family, Gutierrez, traces back to a bishop in Spain.

[BOWMAN53]

Germany, Germany and Germany, with a touch of German splashed in on mom's side... Im VERY proud of my heritage.
