I wondered if Irish/Scotch/English really counts as 3 nationalities. I would not count German and Austrian as two. It is not two languages although it is two nations. In that sense it feels kinda wrong for me to call German and Swiss two different nationalities. It is all Rhenish. My paternal ancestors came from present day France although they were Germans. I almost forgot I have Huegenot ancestors too, from France/Germany.

38. my German and Austrian relatives are on different sides of my family |
|
German on the paternal and Austrian on the maternal so I really can't mash them together; I don't think they would appreciate it. Irish and Scottish are on different sides as well. The Irish are on my Dad's side and the Scottish are on my mother's side, those were a group of brothers from Scotland who were musicians and inherited land here and decided they were not going to participate in the maintenance of it because in their words they 'didn't sow the seed and they weren't going to till it' or something to that effect. They owned several thousand acres, all of which was lost while they fiddled, literally. So that is why I count them as different ancestors because they are separte families on separate sides of my tree, not because I am try to cheat and 'glam up' my mixed breed heritage. But thanks.

For starters, my mother's people all came from what was then Hungary -- only we're talking Hungary before two World Wars, which means it was considerably larger than what we have now and also, as would be expected, ethnically diverse.
My maternal grandmother's Ellis Island record lists her ethnicity as "Slovak," though of as a family we simply described ourselves as Hungarian.
My maternal grandfather, who was from Transylvania, had a German last name.
So I don't know where that leaves us ethnically, but I remember my grandmother saying we weren't "true" Hungarians. :shrug:
On my father's side, there were Swedish Lutherans who settled in Minnesota (VERY Garrison Keillor) and English and Irish immigrants.

34. Too many to name in one line |
|
Maternal grandmother's family: British and welsh, by way of Canada, before coming here.
Maternal grandfather's family: This is the fun one. His mother was Slovenian and his father was Austrian. His mother's parents were slovenian, but also jewish by descent and faith. The austrian village my grandfather was born in was claimed by Italy in 1918, after WWI, so all his immigration papers say he was an italian citizen.
Paternal Grandmother's family: They go back to the Mayflower. It's mostly english (the Hewitts), but there may be an Irish descendant or two in the mix. We are distantly related to the Roosevelts, because we share an ancestor in Richard Warren, who came over on the Mayflower.
Paternal Grandfather: French canadian, the family is all from Parry Sound, ONT.
