Nationality on ATS

Not too interesting, myself...currently living in the central midwest of the US.

Lineage is mostly Welsh/Scotch-Irish with touches of English, French, German and Romani.

born in australia to italian parents.

You propose a very "sterile" world where we CANNOT BE PROUD OF OUR DIFFERENCES? Its easier to solve if we were all one color, from the same place, living the same life. But--we are not. Its a "cop-out" to say everyone should be the same. Its harder work to acknowledge the differences, yet work them out. That is called "individuality".

i was born in former western germany, raised there and now living in berlin / germany


my anchestors - although most germans never really think of that like americans - are somewhat german and some swedish

but i consider myself being a global thinkinng human being on earth

my dream: next move from berlin to LA

English by birth to English parents. I'm currently living in southern Spain.

My maternal grandfather was Irish and my grandmother English. My grandmother's grandparent's were from France and Germany.

All 3 of my children were born in England but have grown up in Spain and are fully intergrated - school, friends, language, culture. They consider themselves Spanglish, as do many other children of ex-pats that live here. (My eldest was born in England but also holds a US birth certificate - father was American).

This thread is really showing what a mixture we all are and we can see how we've all moved around over the generations. The one constant is that we're all members of the human race regardless of where we were born or where we now live.

Irish, living in Ireland, lineage traced back 700 years to......

Ireland

first generation US American. Mom from England (Yorkshire), Dad from Germany (Niedersachsen). Born on LI NY (bleh). Family moved back to Europe in '72, alternated between England and Germany, came back to LI in '74. Spent my entire childhood being told: "Omigawd, you gawt an accent!"
After frequent yearly visits overseas in my early adulthood, I went to live in London (my favorite place) for 6mos in '97-98. Sad that I haven't had the chance to get back since. Damn near destroyed me when I left (visa expired)
All of my extended family on both sides are still in their home countries. I grew up seldom seeing them, but I love them all just the same, and miss not being able to get back and see them - nobody's getting any younger. Hope to go again by next year.

Proud Australian, born and raised.

American of Scottish/Prussian descendant

The Scottish (Clan Cameron,)side were Jacobite's involuntarily transported to America after the The Rebellion/Rising of 1745.

The Prussian side were mercenaries that came over to fight for the British and deserted to volunteer with Gen. von Steuben to fight the British in the American revolution.

Nether side liked the British and i still don't, They are still a arrogant bunch of boars.

They always have something negative to say about guns in the US.
probably because we kicked there b**ts with our American long rifles.
