Hawaiian, Filipino, Portuguese, English, Irish, German
Fathers side, my Grandfather immigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii to work in the sugar plantations, my Grandmother is full blooded Native Hawaiian.
Mother's side, my Grandmother was full blooded Portuguese and her parents immigrated from the Azores, also to work in the sugar plantations in Hawaii. My Grandmother had a fling with an American service man, navy I think (which is where the English, Irish, and German comes from), got pregnant with my mom, he wanted her to come back to the mainland with her but she refused, my mom to this day has never met her father.
50% Irish and 50% Polish ancestry. Both sides of the family have for the most part always lived within 75 miles of where they settled 100+ years ago. Irish side of the family goes back to mid 1800's and Polish side to early 1900's. Cemetery where most of my family is buried (1 mile from where I grew up) has six generations of my relatives.
My great-great grandfather's brother served in the famed NYC 69th Infantry Irish Brigade in the Civil War and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for valor in battle.
On my dad's side, all English. On my mom's side, 3/4 English and 1/4 Scottish.
I know this opinion my trigger some people, but the English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh are all the same. Very closely related to the Germans, Dutch, etc.
