American! German, French, Italian, English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Native American (we think Cherokee, but it hasn't been confirmed)... mostly German, though, and my maiden name was traced to Transylvania.

Fullblooded American here as well. Family history consists of: HEINZ 57.

German, Itallian, English, Scottish, Irish, French, French Canadian, Ojibwe, and I think that covers what I know of anyway.

I thought that Transylvania was modern Romania?

Anyway, Scottish, English, Native American.

I consider myself American because I don't identify with any of my ethnic background. My ancestry is Scots Irish on my paternal side and Slovak, Austrian, Dutch on my maternal side. For most of my adult life I believed my great-grandmother was Native American because that's what my grandmother told us. However, I obtained my grandfather's birth certificate and his mom's name was Sarah O'Brien so Im somehow doubting the Native American bit.

I'm told my looks are most definitely from the Scots Irish side of the family, as well as the temper. My grandmother has told me on numerous occasions that my stubborness comes from the Austrian half. Personally I think it's from growing up with grandparents who were meaner than a cornered raccoon.

Done here.
My most recent ancestors were of assorted European backgrounds as well as Native American; I usually describe it as "mostly Irish and German."

Interesting; would you say that both your sex and your sexual orientation are part of your ethnic background?
