That's so dope.
I'm your typical boring Swede. Some Sami here, some Finn there, and to spice it up a tiny bit of Romani.
You can't tell any of the Romani though, I look 100% Swedish.
It's funny, my father has almost black hair, darker complexion and brown eyes. My mom has the typical rat-coloured hair of scandinaiva, light complexion and blue eyes.
I got nothing from my dad except the shape of my eyes. So much for dominant genes![]()
The real question is, what am I *not*?
Based on conversations with my parents and grandparents, this is the myriad of lineages that I seem to have sprung from:
- Scottish
- French
- English
- Irish
- Spanish
- Cree
- Swedish
- German Jew
I've determined that I am very slightly more than 1/4 Scottish, and exactly 1/4 French. Everything else is a giant mishmash. I am a mutt from a long line of mutts.
Ironically, my last name is more reminiscent of Japanese than anything else.
Hispanic.
Don't know anything about my lineage, don't really care to.
I'm English, my dad is English by birth etc but is ethnically half-Ukrainian, so I suppose that makes me a quarter Ukrainian? Or is it an eighth? Never sure if that's right, surely you're meant to take the mother's side into account as well... my mum is fully English.
So basically, I'm English with a weird misspelled Ukrainian surname (there's a story attached to that, which is available on request)
This is sort of my thinking, too. I know there's some Scotch-Irish, German, and I keep hearing about some sort of Native American blood on my mother's side. I've never really looked any deeper into it. I may one day but it's not incredibly high on my list of things to do.![]()
I understand why someone might not give it much importance - I just like to stick my nose everywhere I can (I know what you're thinking... and the answer is "maybe") - but the old man is such a damn good talker and storyteller that I can't help but sit down, listen, and be goddamn interested.
