I was not aware there could be nationality in one's blood.
I guess you refer to your ancestors. You can't be 100% english - such a thing just does not exist. It has been proven to be lethal.

I am mostly English--my kin came from Bedfordshire, Buckingham, and London.
Also some Irish from County Cork and Dutch from Drenthe, Netherlands.
A typical American mongrel!

Im sorry i didnt make myself clear enough for u Astrapol.... :(
*Note to self work on ones thread titles* ;)
And,,,,,ive done the family tree thingy,,,and as far back as it would take me i was pure English,,,,,but,,,,,,im thinkin your right,,,,,if i was full English blood chances are id be inbred,,,,,and a bit nutty or antisocial,,,,so,,,,,,maybe i have a teeny weeny bit of Irish in me.....
Btw,,,,u didnt tell me what u are !!
Full Blood French ???? :rolleyes:
You have to put this in a perspective of time. In DNA studies .......populations can be broken out into ancient cultures .....which seem more interesting to me than recent ethnic emigrations. For instance .......most islands in the Mediterranean Sea ............have ancient DNA from three major cultures ...........Greek, Etruscan and Celtic (you can go farther back than this ...but ...these three cultures are well known .....if you go farther back studies are more inclined to show regions rather than specific cultures.)
I suspect that you Red have .........some Angle, Saxon, Celtic DNA.
Suffice it to say ....I am an American of European ancestry.

As am I, but I have the dubious pleasure of being Cajun, my ancestors are mainly French and Dutch.
English, American indian, Dutch, German and Alien.

I have no knowledge of foreign ancestors, but I doubt there is anything like "Full blood french" since France has been the place of so many invasions during centuries I probably have some german, italian, spanish, arab and mongol bits of DNA. Maybe even english.

I know my mother's side came from Fujian province of China several generations ago. I am not sure about my father's side. But, again, most likely from the southeast part of China several generations ago. Apparently the way it works in Taiwan is that if your ancestors moved from China to Taiwan after 1950, you are considered to have mainland ancestry, otherwise you are considered to have "Taiwanese blood", even though pretty much all such people came from some part of China from various generations ago.
It's not very exciting. Most East/Northeast Asians can probably be considered "pure blood". China, Korea, and Japan have all gone through self imposed isolation for long periods of time. Whereas in Europe and Central Asia, everybody was constantly mixing and coming and going.

Ditto.

German on both sides.
I can only trace my mother's side back four generations but on my father's side I can trace my ancestry back to 1453 and all my ancestors are German. In fact, they all lived in the same two or three towns along the Neckar River.
Ive noticed there are not many pure American only bloods goin around...
What Nationalitys do u have in your bloods ???

I've always felt one is a full-blooded American if they are American Indian. Our country being formed as it was means that most everyone here came from somewhere else. A 'melting pot' of cultures, if you will. Don't take me wrong, I was born here, I am proud to be american, and proud of my country. But I would not meet your full-blooded classification unless you mean born here. I don't subscribe to all the (insert country here)-american bullshit. I believe that your personal history is extremely important. It is my belief that you must know where your from to know where your going. On the other side, if you came to this country because it is better, to have a better life, education, or whatever your needs may be, once your a citizen, that's it, your an american. You can't be Japanese-american or what ever. Of course you can be an America who is of Japanese descent, but from now on, your American. You can't have it both ways.
As for myself; Italian, Albanian (spelling please?), Hungarian, and Polish. I always was fascinated as a small child that my great-grand father Ventimiglia did not speak english. Only Italian. I suppose that means I'm the fourth generation of my family to be in this country.

Very nice, Borg. Thinking outside the box again, sweet. ;)

If my heritages were put in a room, they'd all kill each other. There's a long line of English hating Irish on my mother's side and mostly Polish/Lithuanian on my Father's side. However, the easiest line to follow on my father's side traces back to English nobility and I can apparently claim that somehow, someway I'm related to King Henry VIII through marriage. I haven't looked it up, but I think I remember it being cousins to one of the wives, don't know which. There's also a relatively small, but strong, German line. So I think I can just call myself German. The Poles obviously ran away and the Irish killed the English nobles then jumped off a cliff after realising that he just killed off his cousin's thrice removed cousin of a degenerate cow's cousin who was a cousin of somebody else down the line who was finally a cousin to the English. Why? Because that's poetic justice. Or maybe it's just ironic.

I think you're talking about Hemochromatosis, Paul. It has lots of different symptoms including fatigue and arthritis along with negative effects on the pancreas and maybe even diabetes.

The Arabs got oil, the Irish got wiskey. Why? The Irish had first choice.
Why did God invent wiskey? To keep the Irish from ruling the planet.
Why do the Irish fight one another? No one else is up to the task.
