what is your heritage? (what nationality are you?)

Great combo Haste, did both sides of the family have to be segregated at family functions?

hehe confrontations have been avoided - mainly due to the fact that apart from mum's sister, all her family are still over in greece - and we don't get along very well with most of dad's side due to dad marrying the enemy. People can be so moronic

Well, my understanding is that they were mostly sailors who landed in Sydney in.. 1810 or something.. and moved to South Australia when it was first settled, which I think was in about 1820ish? They may have moved later than that, I'm not 100% sure of the facts - I just know they've been here for a long, long time :p My great-great grandmother had Ned Kelly stay at her house for awhile! It's all documented and stuff, she had no idea who he was until he left. </trivia>
 
Most of my family originated from Scotland, where our ancestral laird drunkenly gambled the family castle for a boat (unfortunately it was a leaky boat if the tales are to be believed). This kinda matches with our family crest, which reads 'always ready' and features a mailed fist holding a broken lance, which on face value is completely nonsensical but is really actually quite apt, considering the excessive tardiness of all who bear our name. Most of the male members of our clan were wiped out in the battle of Culloden moor, fighting for the utterly useless 'poncey' prince charlie. One grandmother was scottish and the other was english, the rest were of scottish origin who settled here not so long ago. Apparently my english grandmother's family have links to the johnny walker whiskey empire, which we almost inhereted but didn't remaining woefully poor. I speak intermediate amounts of indonesian and smitches of german.
 
anna! sorry there. i hope i didnt sound as if i was doubting you.
i'm betting however that there are very few family names so established in SA... we might be able to work out your secret identity from the information provided! ;)

Oh, not at all! I thought maybe I'd gotten my facts mixed up. If you figure out my secret identity, please let me know. I seem to have misplaced it.
 
I am German German.

Both parents moved here a couple of years before I was born. I was raised as a young child in a german speaking hosuehold, where all the friends were german due to both my parents working for a german company.

I'm really lucky that I still speak fluent German- it is actually my first language. I have also retained alot of my heritage by going back to Germany eveyr two years.

I consider myself very very lucky =D
 
Well both my oldies are Hungarian born in Romania. I was born in Romania as well and we came to Australia when I was 9 years old. Didn't speak a word of English but learnt it in 6 months. I speak Hungarian and Romanian fluently and can understand Greek and Italian quite well.

Sooo... I'm Hungarian :)
 
Im Dutch/aussie... mums side is from australia with a few generations ago irish/english...

Dads side is just netherlands as far as i know (hes dutch), but i dont know my dad/ his side, so yeah i wouldnt know!!!
 
i'm hungarian on both sides. my mum, dad brother and me moved from romania in 87' and 89'. my dad came over first cos he was a refugee (anyone heard of mr Ceausescu?).

i'm proud of my heritage....have yet to meet anyone whos sutuation is similar to mine, and i like it that way. i love my family to death too, cos they've done so much for me. i'd love to go back to the "old country" as an adult so i could appreciate everything a little bit more than i already do.
 
We actually had to escape out of poland and pretend we were on holiday. My mum and i had to go to italy and pretend we wanted visas to go see the art and my dad went to germany to "work" and we met up in austria (i think) At a train station where my dad and i were already on a train waiting to go my mum was stopped my soilders because she was wearing a fox fur neck thing that she was holding for another couple we met (everyone was trying to smuggle out as many valuable possessions as they could because they knew they were not coming back but had to bring minimum as possible to make it look like there were going on holiday etc) They were questioning her about it and she just eventually gave it to them and said "here have it, i'm getting on the train"

We even stayed in an austrain camp waiting for aproval to come to australia for 10 mths ...its quite a story actually :)
 
mum hails from brisvegas. but i think the heritage is irish. however, ive never fraudulently played up this fact on st patricks day.

dads is a south african jew who grew up under apartheid. grandfather was born in palestine. relatives lived in poland during the 40's ...

My father is Chinese from Hong Kong and my mother was born in England.

Which makes me one ragin Eurasian!

I like the fact that I am fairly unique as there aren't many eurasians around, and everytime I meet a fellow one I'm all like, "Wow we should be best friends!". In other ways I sometimes feel a bit strange because it's like I don't BELONG completely to a distinctive racial stock. It may sound a bit silly but whenenever we have Chinese relo bashes I feel a bit like the odd one out. Same thing when all my English relos get together.
