Do you have a bit of another ethnicity in you?
My grandads full italian so i guess that makes me a quarter italian 🤷♀️.. unfortunately apart from the colouring there is nothing else italian about me ... sob
Every year we have to go round my grandparents on his birthday and help to squash the tomatoes for his special birthday sauce to go with his meatballs its a bit of a cute tradition.
What other heritages do people have?
And do you embrace it? Speak the language? Follow any traditions? |

Predominantly English/Scottish, but if I skip a couple of generations back then its French and somewhere in the Mediterranean (details are a bit sketchy)
The Scottish is embraced with the gatherings and their traditions,I learned to dance briefly too.

Nothing exciting to reveal, here. My ancestors were the most unadventurous home birds ever. Except the for one who moved from Birmingham to Hull. That was a shocker to learn about in the 1820 census *needs a lie down* |

I am quarter italian too, my grandfather was italian. I have my grandfather's secret ingredient for the best meatballs, which only I know in my family.
I do look italian, and I most certainly communicate using my hands. Over the years I have tamed my fiery temper and am now a much calmer person... thankfully.

Don't know who my biological dad is so no idea on that front.
Both my mums parents are Irish much more affinity with the Irish culture than British culture, my grandad was ginger as fuck so I think definitely ethnically celtic😂 but there is a lot of dark colouring (hair & eyes) on my nanas side and some olive skin which I didn't inherit. So we think we have some Spanish or Italian blood in us somewhere.
I'd be fascinated to do one of those DNA ancestry tests but I don't what it give a private company my DNA. |

My dads side of the family are Romany Gypsies (you know like Peaky Blinders etc). My mums side is Irish Catholic from the North.
I'm still in touch with both sides of my family though.
My grandad on my Mums side says there is a little Spanish blood there too. No idea if that is true. |

"Grandmother on my dads side was Spanish so quarter Spanish I guess
She couldn’t speak a word of English and my dad couldn’t speak ant Spanish ha "
This is like us, my grandad literally shouts at us in italian and none of us know what hes saying even my nanna 🤣 well the odd word we do.. its shocking really but maybe thats why they have been married for 64 years 🤣🤷♀️ |

A lot of them. I'm a very mixed, mixed race woman and aside from the standard cultural identity crisis in my teens, I love the various things that make up who I am.
Embrace them? No. It would be a constant celebration.  I do love little nods, learning about culture from family, the food, the rites of passage, all of that. And going on holiday and seeing family. How diverse it is. The last big family reunion was wonderful - the cultural similarities, the chiding from one side for being too plump, another for not being plump enough. |

My parents and grandparents are 100% Irish, not sure before my grandfather on my dad's side. He had a tough childhood which I never was old enough to be told about and not many around to now tell me. But my dad spent most of the year looking very tanned so not sure if there is some other influence there. Mums name is an old Irish name so possible right back to Irish royalty or clans. She always joked with Dad she should have made him change his name. |

Nah, I'm maybe slightly taller than average for a woman at 5ft 7. My mum was only 5ft 3 though and my nan 4ft 11. My dad's side is the Dutch side and all the men on that side of the family are 6ft 2+ with the tallest being 6ft 7. |

I had such a deep chat with my brother who is mixed race about how he feels about his identity and god it’s so hard for mixed race people finding their way in this world sometimes.  |

I'm a Punjabi Indian. First generation born here on my Dad's side. I've not really done any research as to how far back that goes.
To be honest, I'm not really as traditional or involved in that culture now as I was growing up and sorting of rejected it for a while. I have found myself coming back round to it though and having a new appreciation for it. |

That's definitely a trait that has been passed on in my family. Plus an outrageous sense of humour. My nan passed away last year at 98 and she remained outrageous until the end and I love her for it. |

My make up as far as I know is Jamaica, Barbados, Portugal, China. Obviously being Black and having Caribbean roots there’s a whole lot of (likely West) African in me but you know… shit happened which makes tracing that shit difficult.
But my ethnicity as I tell it on forms is Black British Caribbean. 
I celebrate my Caribbean heritage constantly. I’m extremely proud to be from there. |

I was always under the assumption people from the Caribbean would find it difficult to fully trace where their ancestors came from. You know because of the past etc. |

Yeah I have no idea of my African ancestry at all. I know about my Chinese Great grandad who lived in Jamaica and I know of my Portuguese ancestors through tracing surnames and oral histories. Oral histories are so important to the preservation of history, honestly. But yeah, it’s hard to trace to anywhere in Africa and then trace through tribes or names over there. |

Half Welsh 🏴, but I'd be no good in a choir or a scrum!
Only language I know is Bore da, cwtch & popty ping.
Did learn to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, but not for very long 🤣
Other half is Yorkshire. |

I'm aware of my mother's side of things as they go back for generations. But I did a DNA test to find out more about my dad's ethnicity which was interesting.
I'm mixed race and I definitely relate to those who have posted above about some of that confusion. I grew up and at the same time was being told I wasn't (my ethnicity) enough or that I was too much. Some people look at me and think I look white so I must be white and then I have to navigate other people's expectations of me. There are elements of nationality, culture and ethnicity which I definitely struggle with on top of those things. |

I know that if you unpack our dna, you can keep going back to the primordial ooze. So I'm going to ignore the fact that all of our ancestors are African, and go with my easily quotable lineage.
.
I'm principally English, although I'm one eighth Irish, and one eighth Portuguese (great-grandparents).

This tickled me far too much and had to reply (by the way, yes. There's difficulty in not quite belonging in so many different ways. Could go in to it but it's not the forum for it!)
Anyway - on this. We (my family) have been able to trace quite far back but it's not for a positive reason really. My great (recurring) grandma was a house * and my great (rec) grandad her master - diaries, ledgers all of that. Tracing further is more challenging.
I thank her for the generational trauma that's my predominant taste in men. |

Both sides of the family have strong celtic connections, which probably explains the pale skin and freckles. I don't personally have any connection to it or feel particularly one thing or another. My ex husband was Welsh and very proud of it, the teen also considers himself Welsh so I go with the flow and see what he wants to pick up on culturally. |

I’m from London. But my DNA is…
Welsh
Bajan
Zulu
Portuguese
However doing some research on my family. I found out that I might not be Welsh. A relative fled Ireland for some dodgy reason & changed his name.
And family name might be Buckley  |

Sikh Punjabi, born in the UK. My surname is not typically Sikh and quite unusual, and which often confuses other Sikhs; the name has Roman/Latin (Italian) connections.
I also have distant Scottish (white) relatives with the same surname. |

I am first language Welsh, my Mum came from Flint. My Dad was Irish, born in Cork. Came over when Grandad got a job building the railways...
So I guess I am of a Celtic heritage...I did trace my ancestry, found family going back to the 1700's on my Dad's side. Trying to find Jones in Wales was a bit more challenging 😂 |

My father's side has some Greek, but watered down. Unsure about the rest.
My mother's side, a mix of all sorts, from what I can remember being told. Cornish, Romani, Scottish, Irish. Couldn't say what percentages, though.
I identify as Cornish, overall. My name has "Kernowek" in it, which is "Cornish" in the language. I only know a couple of phrases, sadly. I'm awful at retaining other languages and despite having a good teacher, I failed miserably lol. |
