Re: OT Ethnotypes WAS Re: FWD [OT but interesting]....

I'll throw my two eurocents in:

Mother: Irish (including some Traveller a couple generations ago)
Father: Irish and Swedish

And I've discovered some Welsh about 200 years ago on my father's
side.

Now my fiancee is:

Mother: French and rumours of Spanish
Father: French and Polish

So even here in Europe we have a pretty decent mix.  My best friend
is 3/4 Swedish and 1/4 Russian.  I don't know anyone who considers
their self "pure."

Cheers,
Eamon
