Two of my grandparents were born in Finland but I'm pretty sure their parents were Estonian. Actually, I don't know much about our ancestry and my parents don't as well. My relatives for my mother's side are all estabilished and I guess born in Pärnu so..

Ok everybody is from everywhere... I have to search for 400 years of genealogy to find a non-french ancestor in my family! I must have 99% of french blood x)

On my dads side, both his parents were born in Latvia, and they came to Australia during WW2. I have a lot of other cousins on my dads side scattered across Australia, I also have heaps of cousins living in USA as their parents/grandparents choose to go their instead during WW2. I also think I may have some ancestors from Russia as well On my mums side it's really weird, my mums parents were actually related As my Gran's great grandfather was also my Pa's great-great grandfather (long story ) So I think they were about 4th cousins Anyway, I think my Gran and Pa's grandparents came to Australia during the late 1800's from Suffolk, England

I was born in The Netherlands and my parents too. The parents of my grandmother & grandfather of my mother were German, but they moved to a neighbour city of my town for better work... >.> there's also a chance that I'm a little bit Russian, but that should be from many centuries ago. For the rest I've an aunt from Romania & an other aunt of me moved to Australia... never heard something of her back. o-O

So I have roots from 5(6) countries Most I'm German. But my grandmother comes from Austria. My grand-grandfather comes from Armenia. My grand-grandmother comes from Switzerland. And my grandfather comes from the old East Germany (if you count this as an country ) And my other grand-grandmother comes from the Czech Republic. This is all I know, but probably I have some other roots, too

On my dads side, I am probably 100% Austrian, but my great-grandfather seems to had some connection to Czech Republic, but not my grandfather, my father or I. On my moms side, she and the rest of the family was born and mostly lives in Romania somewhere near Brașov, but she is Hungarian since she belongs to the minority there. She doesn't have any connection to Romania. Also, I may have connections to Germany and USA somehow. So I am ½ Austrian and ½ Hungarian.
