Split in half as i'm British by my dad and Italian by my mom and although i love both cultures and their ancient histories i'm glad my Italian genes allow me to tan when exposed to the sun .

I guess the king liked our family back then. They were loyalists during the American revolution and moved to Nova Scotia to get out of harm's way. A much-larger-than-life portrait of one of my ancestors hangs in the state house to this day. My folks, as far back as I knew them, however, were pretty much your average citizens - and I love(d) them all dearly.

Same here-and I'm not ashamed to admit it...in fact I'm proud.
My family also goes way back. Our family name is Rich, and somehow (I forget the details) we're connected to Richard the Lionhearted and all the cities with 'Rich' in the prefix: Richmond, etc.
So I guess you could say I'm a WASP.

Mostly Italian, but throw a little German and Irish in there! Probably a dangerous combination!

Mutt all the way. My last name is French royality. However somewhere along the way our family was on the wrong side of some revolution. We were too busy holding onto our heads to take any of the wealth with us.

Going back to my great-great-grandparents on both my mother and father's sides of the family, all were German. My maiden name was Brundick. (Boy, did I get some teasing in school...LOL)
