My Heritage
Can you tell my heritage by my looks? I am just wondering what people think. What do I look like (heritage-wise, obviously)?
I have been told that I appear Mediteranean (Italian/Sicilian), Bosnian, Latvian, French and even part Native American and Indian. I find this intriguing. It's so interesting to me because I'm actually mostly none of these things. In fact, no one can ever seem to guess what I am. I'm actually Irish, English, Scottish, Norweign, Swedish, and Danish.
*31.25% (or 5/16) Gaelic
25% Anglo
12.5% Dane
12.5% Norsk
12.5% Swede
*6.25% "Scots-Irish"
(*I'm part 'black Irish' which means some of my Irish ancestors had black hair, as opposed to the stereotypical auburn/light hair. I'm also supposedly part 'Scots-Irish.' Some of my Irish ancestors decended from Scotland and settled in Ireland, which means that I'm part Scots. I say supposedly because our name may be Scottish or Welsh.)
I've always felt like being Anglo-American, or caucasion, I've kind of lacked a certain social-identity apart from being American. Our family has no noncontemporary traditions or anything that relates to my heritage. I feel very connected, personally, to my heritage, particularey my Irish heritage being that I am mostly Irish and it comes from both sides of my family.

I really couldn't tell. From the last picture I thought possibly Turkish, but otherwise I had no idea. Interesting though, I've always wished I had a more mixed heritage, just because the idea of it sounds more exotic. I think it's cool that you feel connected to your heritage though, because even as a black person growing up admittedly with mostly white people, I struggled for a while to decide who I was, whether I was more black that white or vice versa, but I think it's great that you know who you are.
