German with sides of English, French, and Dutch. I've also had relatives in the US dating back to the late 1700's.

EDIT: There's a bit o' Scottish in there, too. Basically, I'm a typical American mutt.

I am pretty pasty, but I look more like my relatives than you'd think. My ancestors come from Castile and had fair skin, light hair, and green eyes, all of which I inherited.

If you saw my grandfather, you'd know he's Cuban. If you saw me standing next to him, you'd definitely know we're related.

If you see me in Cuba, you'd call me a gringo.

Mostly Italian and French.

I heard of Joseph A. Labadie being my direct ancestor. Anyone knows anything about him?
