Most of us have ancestors from multiple European countries so pick the one that best describes you. I'm half English, a quarter German, an eighth Scotch-Irish and an eighth Swedish.

I'm predominantly Italian. My mother is the first person married into my family that isn't 100% Italian. Don't really know percentages or anything, but that's how my family identifies in terms of culture, etc.

Wow, where to begin. I voted Scottish because my mom was born there, so 50% of that. However, parts of her family are Scandinavian. On dads side, English, German, Scandinavian. I go through my family tree often, trying to find new European heritage previously unknown. So far its all been Northern European, with one French name thrown in.

A whole bunch of stuff. Czech is the largest at 25%. Then German, Belgian, and pretty much everything else in Western Europe.

I have four grandparents from four different European nations. Father's father was from Wales, father's mother was from Slovakia, mother's father was from Germany, mother's mother was from Italy. None of the descriptions really fit me from the poll as their is a equal distribution in me from all regions in Europe. I suppose I just identify myself as part of the Euro diaspora. My surname is obviosly Welsch though so I suppose strangers identify me as such.

My father is Austrian (Gottscheer), having been born in Austria after his parents left Gottschee (what is now part of Slovenia) in the 1940's. My mother is 75% Irish and 25% Holland Dutch. Hence, I am Austrian, Irish and Dutch.

Wow I'm surprised there aren't as many that voted Irish. I'm more than half Irish, so that's what I indentify with.
