I actually have some of that too.

Seminoles were local to goeorgia and florida and helped escaped slaves with a loop hole in the law.
You could own a black man but you could not own an indian.

So escapees were welcomed as part of the tribes, and quite naturally their was some mixing there. not only that, but seminoles made frequent attacks on plantations.

Really? I had no idea that went on. I did wonder what kind of relationship the natives had with the black people.

My great grandmother, she was either half or full. I don't know which, but that makes me either 1/32 or 1/16.

Enough to claim monies from the government... too damn bad I don't have paperwork on it.

Let's see...I'm 75% Italian. My father is full blown sicillian. And my mother is half Italian, and half English. I don't know much about my sperm donar father other than that. My mother however...our background it quite interesting.

On the Italian side...our last name is Puglia and Mancini. My great grandparents came from Puglia Italy, they were slaves. Came to NY in the 1920's. Both my parents born in New York. On my mothers' mothers' mom's side...*my great grandma mancini* her husband came from English decent. The last name is Edwards. And we are related to king Edward the 5th. He cheated on the queen of England with a peasant woman and they had kids and centuries later here I am.

I hope that wasn't tooo confusing. XD

I think a hundred years from now no one is gonna care about this stuff anymore.... no point in saying you're 1/116th of something.

Guess what I am though???

You guys ready for this one?

These French people sailed across the Atlantic in 16... shit it was a 2 at the end, 62 or 92 can't remember. I think 1662, anyways I'm related to lots of them. Other folks came over to this side all the way up through the late 1800's, that's when the French Canadians came down to Manchester NH to work in the mills for 14 cents a day or some crap. There were Irish people that came down here around the same time as well, but they got paid more because they could speak English, i dunno. Yeah so anyway I have relatives who worked their arses off in the mills, and I had more prosperous relatives, almost all were French though.

I'm told that on my dad's side 3 generations back there was an Iroquois lady, and there might have been an Irish or English fellow who learned a bit of French to get laid since there is a Norris on my mum's side, but that's a little unclear because no one spoke any English on either side of my family until the 1960's. In fact my generation is the first one to grow up speaking English with very little French.

My wife is Irish and Polish.

That's easy really.
To my great grandmother on my moms side.
To my great great grandmother on my dads side.
They was both full blooded (though mixed tribes.)

Most of my family tree is filled with Native Americans lol.
French trappers who came down in like the 17-1800's.
Irish, and German immigrents that came as soliders or indentured servents in the late 18-1900's.

Most of my mom's side was here longer ironically enough.
Think french and indian war and you'll get the ideal how far back.
My dad's side traces back to Ireland like 1897 or some shit.
