What is your Natilnality, and where do you live today?

Hello -
Let's get to know each other's background, shall we?
I am from Brasil, borne in Fortaleza, and raised in Brasilia.
I came to the US to learn English and to have some fun after my first university (Chemistry). That was 1996... I was supposed to stay here about 6 months, but... I renewed my visa as a tourist a couple of times, and liked so much that decided to go to University here (graphic design, computer graphics). I got married, divorced, got a career in sales, and here I am 13 years later! A first generation of Brasilian American in my family. I am now an American Citizen, and go to Brasil to visit my family 1x year...
I have no family at all in here, and I miss them dearly, especially my twin sister and my grandmother (she is 96!!).

My Twin Sister (in Green) and I The little boy in the left is my nephew... I Miss them!!!!!

Depending on which line of my family, I'm either a fourth generation Swiss-American, or .... well... the other lines go really far back. I had ancestors come over on the Mayflower, and everyone else come over somewhere in between the Mayflower and 1900. My paternal great-grandparents came over from Switzerland around 1900 or so (I think a little earlier, but I don't have the records in front of me to check). I am 1/4 Swiss, 3/4 Human Moggie/Mutt. Just about all of it European. Some royalty, some Mormon blood (even regal in its way, as its Brigham Young's brother), but am not Mormon. For the Euro parts: Danish, English, Scottish (to short the list: think most everything in the British Isles, and you have it), Swiss, even some Viking blood somewhere in there... but that goes way back. My mother did a lot of geneological research on our family... but I'm just American. Born and bred.

My great grand parents came here from Ireland (my paternal grandfather's parents) and I think my paternal grandmother is German?? Not exactly sure, but I do know I'm mostly Irish. We aren't the typical red haired Irish, though. Everyone in my dad's family has dark brown/black hair.

I have NO clue what the lineage on my mother's side is.

I'm Canadian, and live in Manitoba, Canada.

My ancestory is something else! English, French, Ukrainian and Cree.

Well, I have both South African and British citizenship - living in the UK.

As for my background - I am English / French Canadian / Latvian / Danish / Indian / Scottish - quite a mix

I'm Bulgarian, raised in the US...I live in Georgia now and go to Georgia tech. I'm in my 2nd year.

I am a Sixth generation Canadian and both sides of my family come from Scottish descent.

Mutt - background is mainly English or Scottish and German. Hubby is German, and mainly Scandinavian and Irish.

We live in the USA (born and raised).

This is an interesting question. I'm an American (from the U.S., not from S. America or other countries in N. America), living in the United States. But like most Americans, my family came from some other place some time ago. Both my mom's and my dad's respective families are from Mexico- my dad's family has been here for generations, but my mom is the first generation here. So my cultural customs- speaking Spanish, tamales and champurrado at Christmas, being raised Catholic (which I no longer practice, but I've kept my saints and rosaries) are Mexican.

I'm a New Zealander of European descent (mainly British/Dutch) and I live in Wellington, New Zealand. I've lived in this region my whole life.

I'm also proud to say Queen Elizabeth is my Queen!

Myself and my parents are second generation Australian, we still live here. My mums parents are English (Brummies), there is Scottish on my grandfathers side. My fathers parents are from Budapest (Hungary), there is Turkish and i think German on that side. but as they say you get some 80% or whatnot of dna contribution from your mother, i'm more English than Hungarian I don't ever want us to become a republic country, i'm perfectly happy attached to the commonwealth FOREVER!

Born and raised in North America--born in Pennsylvania to be more exact and live in Ohio.

My dads side of the family is Irish, Scottish and German and my moms side of the family is German/Saxon.

Hoosier American ( Indiana native ) of Scots, Irish, English, French, German, Italian, and possibly Native American (family lore yet to be proved).

Here's a photo of me - my Mum's skin is much more olive than mine. However both my great-grandparents both have very white skin. *shrugs*

I was made in England and i'm still here

My ancestors started from Norway, then took root in Scotland and Ireland before some of them came to the UK

My maternal great grandparents emigrated from near Budapest, Hungary. My father's heritage is Scottish and Irish, but I know very little about that family lineage. I was born, raised and still live in Michigan.
