I'm a lot of different stuff. I'm...English, I know that much. German too, I think I'm mainly German on my mom's side but also maybe Irish or Scottish and a few other places. On my dad's side, we don't really know what we are.

My grandmother was so proud of our family history that she actually framed some of our "AKC papers," as she was wont to call them.
My aunt, on the other side of the family, once spent a solid month in Salt Lake City, going through the birth and death records that hte Mormons have accumulated over the past hundred and fifty years or so.

I know for a fact that I am German, Hungarian, French, and Polish. Supposedly there is some Indian mixed in there but I highly doubt it because I am so white lol

OMG! I'm Hungarian and Guyanese too!!!!
My dad was from Budapest, and my mom was from Georgetown, they moved here, from Hungary and Guyana to Canada, when they were both 27, my mother worked at a nail factory for a while, and then got a job at Royal Bank, and became friends with the wife of my dad's best friend, and I was born eleven years later, after her break-up with another Hungarian man that she dated for four years! Sadly, they also both died of cancer, three years apart, and they were both 56 when they died.
My mom had 10 siblings, she was the youngest girl, and she told me when they were young, her and her sisters shared a room which was wallpapered with newspaper, and they played a game with her once, which from the letters on the walls they would predict the names of their future husbands, and when my mothers turn came she told me she was embarrassed because the name of her future husband was spelled out to be: L-A-S-Z-L-O, and she said her sisters teased her because it sounded funny, and she wouldn't play again...well guess what my dad's name was? Alan Laszlo Szabo!! correct spelling and all! Isn't that nutty?!
Hahaha, can't believe another exists! I found this by posting this on Y!Answers ---> http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnPS8FOtqC6YXd9MuiBHn3XAFQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20080924194815AAZmgQN

Heh.
Welcome to the forums. You might care to visit the new member forum in the first grouping on the index page.
EDIT: For the record, I've discovered since my original post on this thread that I am far more closely related to the Clan Colquhoun than McLeod. This, as all <i>highlander</i> fans know, is a truly soul-crushing bit of knowledge.

I'm Chinese (by blood as I was born in the US and never left); my dad was born around the Beijing area and my mom in Canton. My mom says that in Canton, they ate stuff like dog meat, snake meat, and pretty much anything else that could be a pet. 
That was terrible news for a little kid-me (5-8 years old, I think). Dad says Mom is also part Vietnamese, but I don't really keep track of stuff like that.
I don't speak any Chinese, sorry.
