I am, in no particular order, of the following nationalities: french, english, german, irish, sicilian, hungarian, lebanese.

My paternal grandmother is 100% lebanese, thus granting me the superpower to (almost!) never sunburn. Whee!

100% Danish!

And, I might add, my great great great grandfather was the king of Denmark and I come from the servant girl he knocked up and then sent away with some pretty jewelry. Yes, I'm a bastard princess. And I have one of her necklaces.

My great-grandmother was 1/4 Sioux. And 1/2 Polish. Then we have some english, some french, and... really.. most of it is a mystery to me. I had a great-great grandfather that killed his whole family (except two daughters who were away at the time, one of which was my great-grandmother) and then he killed himself. The guy that my great-grandmother married to get away from basically being an indentured slave in a boarding house was a travelling salesman who was 15 years her elder. I don't know anything about his family. Total mystery, there.

Also, go to the June 7th entry. My mom's dad was born in that house. A Dowse. Supposedly, we come from.. well.. people who looked for wells. You know.. they'd hold the witching stick and tell you where to dig for water.
