What background are you?

[Laurrz]

So i was just wondering where are our original roots

Well i was born here so im an Aussie first before anything
but im actually Chinese/Cambodian... which is odd as we generally dont like cricket at all/or sport in general .. more at cars/games etc. lol

 

[cover drive man]

English with a bit of Irish.

 

[BoyBrumby]

English, pretty solidly with the exception of one Mick grandfather (maternal).

 

[Matteh]

English, born in Germany, Dad born in Australia now English, Grandma English then Australian now English, Grandad English now Australian.

 

[headhunter]

Parents and grand-parents all Irish.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Great-grandparents on my mum's side are Irish. My Grandmother's maiden name is Cunningham and my Grandfathers name (and my mother's maiden name, obv) is Donohue.

So basically, I'm a Donohue.

 

[ripper868]

Grandad's old folks Irish, Grandma's oldies Scottish. A little bit of welsh somewhere over the rainbow where blue birds fly. grandaddy and mummy both born in Australia and there kids are my folks.

 

[sideshowtim]

Quite a few generations of Aussie on both sides. Beyond that, just boring British roots on both sides.

Scum.

(Considering the thread topic, probably a good job I quoted the correct post)

Father was born in Australia and his father and mother were born in Australia as well and I think their parents were born in Poland but all that's a bit hazy. All Russian on the mothers side.

Sister got hold of the births-deaths-marriages database not long ago. Managed to trace roots in Queensland back to 1820 so I think I'm mostly convict.

Got some other English folk in there on my father's side and quite a bit of Danish blood on my mother's side.

I'll do a religious extension on this, as well. Let's see:

- Father (Australian, non-baptised Anglican)
- Grandparents (Australian)
- Great-grandparents (English)

- Mother (Malaysian-born, devout Catholic)
- Grandparents (Malaysian, English on my grandma's side, Dutch on my great-grandfathers)
- Some Indian and Sri Lankan members are also present, although I am unsure as to what extent
- Given my Catholicism, the presence of Irish blood would not surprise me
- Alphonso (mother's maiden name) is a Spanish name

Mum: Scottish
Dad: Aboriginal/Polynesian
Me: Legend

You know it's true.

Quite. Absolute ringer:

 

[cpr]

Dads English Protestant, as was his mother, though his father was an Irish Catholic

Mum was born here, spent a few years in Ireland though, both her parents are Irish, pretty much considers herself Irish (though she uses an English passport because of all the hassle the grandparents used to get using their Irish ones, even 3-4 years ago Grandma got stopped on the way into America due to some old visa issue)

 

[Son Of Coco]

German/English I think.


With that combination it's a wonder we ended up with any personality at all. I can only assume it worked on the -/- principle to equal a +.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Maori, English, Irish, Spanish and a bit of "inconsiderate jackass"
