I wish that I knew for sure, but Eastern European on my father's side, a LONG way back. My surname translates into Cyrillic without a single letter changing and is very Ukrainian. Plus there are substantial numbers of Ukrainians living here, so I assume that I'm Ukrainian. And I once met an actual Ukrainian who said my surname was quite common there. And lastly, I've got the whole Eastern European eyebrow thing going on lol.

My mother's side is Scottish.

But my ancestors came over in the 18th century to Philadelphia and were Quakers, they eventually came to Southern Ontario and set up several towns by creating saw mills, grain mills, etc. They were capitalists lol.

Mine were apes

I am all Scottish, I have bits of Ayrshire, Dumfrieshire, Islay and Glasgow. I am from Glasgow. That's really not very exciting is it?

Mother's side were from Ireland.
Dad's side originally in 1740 were from the French Alps.

As I go back through time on my family tree, my ancestors came from all over:

England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Israel, Transylvania/Romania, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Native American.

EDIT: What stupid idiot gave everyone thumbs down for this? How do you have a thumbs down for having ancestors and for knowing where they came from. Someone is just being a stupid jerk on here.

MOM's side - her dad's family was Czechslovakian (immigrated about 1917 to the US), her mom's is Irish/English/Scottish, so far can't tell when they immigrated but have been in the USA since at least 1826.

Dad's side - his mom was Irish/English/Scottish, his dad's was German but immigrated to the USA in early 1800's.
