My mother came to New york with her parents when she was just about 12 months old from Puerto Rico. I believe my grandparents were descendants of slaves brought to Puerto Rico from Spain to work in the sugar cane fields.
My dad’s parents are from Louisiana, descendants of French Canadians who migrated to the south.
so to sum things up:
mom-Spanish
dad-French
so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts. what’s so amazing about really deep thoughts? Tori Amos
Mothers side: Swedish
Fathers side: Swedish
Father: Hungarian
Mother: the classic English-Scot-Welsh
Mrs. Kunilou is Japanese on both sides, meaning our children’s heritage is half-Japanese and quarter-Hungarian. We are having them constantly monitored for depression.
He’s supposed to ask, Do you have a little Mexican (or whatever) in you?
(I’m a mutt and proud - mostly Eastern European Jewish, a little German, a little Mongol…)
French, Irish, Dutch, Scotts and Cherokee

I’m half French and half Irish…
Which means -
I’d be a great lover if I wasn’t shitfaced all the time.
I’m just kidding! I’m just kidding!

Sorry - I’ll go now.
Happy New Year Everyone.
Didja hear about the guy who was half black and half Japanese?
Every December 7, he attacked Pearl Bailey!
dlv: There’s a subtle difference in the intended joke.
1.a little Mexican in you = you’re pregnant by Mexican father
2.some Mexican in you = a part of a Mexican’s anatomy in a body cavity of yours
If he says “1” and means “2”…he’s saying he is not well-endowed, which could add to the joke, but machismo may not allow that. He is already married, so I doubt he wants to impregnate someone, thus he would not say “1” and mean it. Also, remember he says this to males as well as females.
Sorry for the temporary hijack. Craft is back on course.
About 33% each French, English and Dutch. (Don’t ask!) Obligatory Celtic (Welsh, Scottish, and Irish back) in the English line. Misc. Spanish and such back in the French line.
Polish. My great-grand folks on both sides came on by right about WWI.
From what I understand, my great grandfather on my mother’s side didn’t know my great grandmother at the time and married her on the boat because she had some open sores and the US wasn’t going to let her off the boat. As the spouse of someone they were already letting into the country, they had to take her as well. Sweet story (well, as romantic as you can get using the phrase “open sores”) but as it turns out, they spent the next however many years hating each other. Oh well.

Touche. Manhattan! Actually that would be a site to see. (If you contact me by e-mail I’ll give you my postal address and you can send me a photograph of you or Alphagene doing this. 
I’m not doing anything New Year’s Eve but staying home. I’ve always done it that way, since I don’t drink or dance.

Sheesh!
Generic human mongrel:
Paternal: pure German (3rd generation)
Maternal: mostly Scots, in 2 distinct waves that the family geneaology buffs have pinned down. Though there is probably some English in there somewhere (I assume) because my great-aunt got into the DAR based on descent from one of the Declaration signers. I forget his name, but he was one of the signers from New York and mostly notable for going spectacularly bankrupt after the Revolution. Morris, or something; is that English?
(BTW, my family is mostly notable for going bust: make a bundle, lose it. Sigh.)

TVeblen- do you mean Gouverneur Morris? The Minister of War for the Continental Congress during the American Revolution? Who ended up funding the Revolution’s early days mostly out of pocket, and went broke because he was never repayed?
If so, cool.
