What's your ancestry

Irish on both sides of my family, but I'm also Scottish on my mum's side and Venetian on my dad's (most Italian-Americans are from Sicily so I don't look like a guido at all as a result). Got a little Ashkenazi in there from dear old dad too. I probably look Celtic to most cause of my beard color and greenish eyes.

I haven't taken a DNA test in fear of finding out I got more Anglo in me than I'd want to admit, but it's tempting because there's a bit of a gap in my ancestry. My mom's dad was a depression-era orphan whose foster family lived on a farm in Vermont near the French Canadian border, so I probably have some poutine running through my veins as well.

Half Scandi.and half Central European. Norwegian mostly from Nordland county, and Swede mostly from Norrbotten county. The other half are a bunch of German/Austrian minorities living various countries bordering Germany before WWI.

Mum's an immigrant, but I have no idea what's going on on my dad's side. I actually feel bad about it, because I don't quite understand the situation and don't want to look like an ungrateful unobservant idiot child for asking now as an adult. I think he's adopted from some american catholic-cum-agnostic leftry family, but by raising it's casual white westernized jew tribe?

Polish, Ukrainian and Italian. It's easily traceable because everyone is a fairly recent immigrant within the last century. My Italian grandmother actually is an immigrant. I'm half Italian but I don't really know that side because my parents divorced when I was five. My cultural heritage is therefore Polish American.
 
My mom and her mom are from Uruguay. Mom's father is from Spain (he met my grandma in Uruguay, then the moved to the US).

My dad is from PA, his father and family are from Slovakia, his mother's line goes back to the 1600s, originally German.

In tracing my ancestry I found out that a number of my grandmother's ancestors were involved in the Revolutionary War. I applied to the Daughters of the American Revolution and my application is currently in review.
