Please,if you aren't positive ... don't hazard a guess. One need only go back to their Grandparents. I am 75% Czechoslovakian 25% German
Grandparents are both half English and half German. If you have a Jewish background, I'd say either Germany or Eastern Europe, with the obvious distant connection to the Middle East.
Yer not sure as to your Grandparents or Parents.? What praytell do you talk about during Thanksgiving or Christmas.
From the research that my sister has done we can trace our ancestors back to some vikings. When I did the ancestry dns there was some eastern European thrown in there. Which would make some sense because she found the grave of one of our great great grandfathers in a Jewish cemetery. When she asked grandma about it she refused to talk about it. My grandfather come here from the fehmarn island in Germany.
There is no such thing as Czechoslovakian. Are you Czech or are you Slovak ? I have no argument with the German part.
>>>MOD EDIT Off Topic Removed<<< The very first place Hitler Invaded was Czechoslovakia in March of 1939.Then months later Poland { Sept. 1939 } The Second World War began when Hitler Occupied Czechoslovakia. Poland was The Official act.
All I know is my family came from Brittney France to Scotland and then arrived in New Hampshire in 1654.
BTW... I dare you to tell one Martina Navratilaova { Formerly Tennis' Most accomplished Female } she Isn't Czechoslovakian.
She was a citizen of Czechoslovakia. but there is no such nationality or ethnicity as a "Czechoslovakian". any more than there was a "Soviet".
Did you read what I wrote? I said that there is no such thing as Czechoslovakian. I did not say that was was once upon a time no country of Czechoslovakia. Of course there was. Czechoslovakia was an artificial country made up of two ethnic groups the Czechs and the Slovaks. Where were you educated? Do you not know that there is no such country anymore known as Czechoslovakia. There is a Czech Republic a separate country and Slovakia a separate country. So what I was asking is your ethnic background Czech orvSlovak?
Scotch -Irish is not an ethnicity it is two ethnicities. Scotch-Irish is at times used by people who are too lazy to make a distinction or don,t really know whether they are Scotch or Irish. Yes I knew they are closely related and their ancient languages were related in theCeltic strain.
Exactly ! As I said Czechoslovakia was an artificial country just as the USSR and Yugoslavia was, and Iraq is. Sadly lazy or uninformed people do not know such things or they do not care.
even more, before 1938 Czechoslovakia was made up of Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, and SubCarpathia. it was a Federation of post-AustroHungarian peoples. Today, everyone is either Czech or Slovak. but when Czechoslovakia broke up, all citizens had the right to become a citizen of either of the two states.
Who knows? The DNA ancestry thing is pretty much only interesting for Americans. I think you have some weird fetishes with nobility and ancestry. As half Sicilian I probably haver a bit of every Mediterranean ethnicity in me. The other half is Portuguese... Who knows? And Who cares?
my grandma was a citizen of Czechoslovakia. She lived in Uzghorod which in 1930 was part of SubCarpathia, but today is in Ukraine, on the border with Slovakia.
My dad's Polish Catholic family comes from Tarnobrzeg Poland, which is not far from Ukraine, or Slovakia. Apparently our family was kind of elite, my great grandfather from Poland was an Artist, who invented a donut machine, and was able to build houses by himself. While my great grandmother from Poland her brothers, one was an officer in the Polish military, and the other was a Catholic priest.
Indeed, Scots - Irish were Northern Irish in the U.S.A who decided to call themselves Scots - Irish to differentiate themselves from Irish Catholics when they arrived in mass. Yes, Northern Irish aren't really Irish, they might have mixed with them, but they're actually Low-Land Germanic Scottish immigrants who England promoted to settle Ireland.
Here's a bit on Ulstermen.. My grandfather, a Wallace, was one. http://www.libraryireland.com/scotulster/scottish-blood-ulster-men-day.php
My parents and grandparents were all English, but going further back my DNA might have cavemen, Romans, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans in it because they occupied my home city of Leicester (England) at various times through it's 5000-year history. My real surname (which is not Brady!) goes back unchanged to before 1066. PS- The infamous Roman 14th Legion was stationed in Leicester for a while, maybe a distant ancestor of mine was a Centurion badass which would explain my interest in military affairs and wargaming, ha ha..
On my mother's side it's English and German. Her side of the family has been here since the 1730's. On my biological father's side it's Syrian. My paternal grandfather came here in the 1930's. I could have blood relatives on all three sides of the Syrian civil war and not know it.
