I'm American Heinz 57, mixed English, Irish (both sides of the conflict), Scots, Dutch, German, Huguenot, with minor admixture of Swiss and Spanish, and Native American (Powhatan).
My husband, whose family mostly came over in the 1600's is almost pure English, and what's cool about that is that a favorite historical figure of mine as a kid was Alfred the Great, and because of him, my kids are decendants of Alfred the Great. I thought that was cool. Also my lovely, kind, gentle, woman-empowering husband is descended from the Lord of the Manor of Great and Little Rapers. *sporfle*
