My family mostly hails from the British Isles and West-Central Europe, with a smattering of Native American intermarriage (of a more serious and traceable lineage than basic whitie "Oh I'm part Cherokee"
 
American. Ancestry: various British Isles mediocrities and Italian partial failures. A few non-French Canadians.
 
100% bong for at least the last 400 years. My hair colour suggests my bloodline has been tainted by a fenian at some point though
 
I'm mixed European heritage: English, Scottish, Irish, French, and Danish. Apparently, I have a very little bit of Native American DNA because my ancestors on both sides of my family were immigrants who settled in the Midwest around 1850s and 1860s, so they must have goofed around with some redskins here and there.
 
Super mutt! Dad’s side- English/German. The English relatives came over in the late 1600s and several fought in the Revolutionary War. Mom’s side- Irish, German, Italian, Russian (they came over early/mid 1800’s)
 
Once you get past my Appalachian WASP blood down the history line, I'm supposedly in the lineage of William the Conqueror.
 
I am approximately 37.5% Irish, 25% Polish, 14% Spanish, 12.5% English, 10% Native Taino, 1% West African. So yeah, proper White American.
My identical twin brother got a DNA test, so now we have more accurate results whereas I previously guessed based on my mother's family lore and my father's (since updated) DNA test. Turns out my matrilineal family lore was wrong. My great grandmother married somebody from the British Isles, whom we assumed was English, but was actually Irish. I guess I'm quite a bit more White than I thought I was lol.

Both sides of my family are Mexican, my mom's side says we have Aztec in us, but we don't wanna do an ancestry test because that means giving our DNA to the government

So we just call ourselves Tejanos
 
1/3 Scottish (biggest category)
Rest English, Irish, German, minor Scandinavian like most British have

Ethnic American/Amerikaner

Funny story, my Mom's great-grandpa or something came over in the Potato Famine, but we ended up finding out (Ancestry.com) that he was Scots-Irish (Ulsterman), not Irish as such.
 
British, French, a little Spanish and some Creole that my great grandmother swore up and down was Cherokee (it was common practice for mulattos back then to just claim to be indians and leave it at that)
