what's that supposed to mean?
Maybe it's people who don't know, or can't narrow it down? I mean, I think my heritage is Anglo-Irish-Scottish-German-Swiss-French, but all of those are so long ago that that's only a small portion of my ancestors that I know the heritage on. There's a lot of the family tree where it says, "Born in Nebraska, moved to Illinois in X," and that's as far back as the information goes.
ETA: Er, or what Susan said.
Scots Irish-Swedish-English-Creek-Scottish-French-Swiss
Anglo-Irish-Scottish-German-Swiss-French
This is an excellent bit of x-post.
It's an open ended list-as-many-as-you-like question, not checkboxes. At least in 2000. I know I listed every ancestral ethnicity I was aware of at the time.
I am very poor. Therefore, of course, I bought more music last night. iTunes is just evil that way -- all about the immediate gratification, you know?
Has anyone here ever worked for Kaplan, doing tutoring or teaching or the like? Or for that matter ever had Kaplan classes or tutoring? I'm contemplating applying, but I want a bit more information first.
I have a friend whose mother is Ukranian and whose father is Iraqi. She was born in Germany but spoke nothing but Russian until age four. She identifies herself as German. This is probably the thinking behind the term "American." I don't see why there's need for a question--American is just as valid a label as Croat-Anglo-Irish (me), because if you go back far enoug, ain't nobody what they claim to be.
What about people who were adopted and don't have information about their parents' ancestral sources?
Well, I think if you summed up all the British Isles groups, they'd be a larger percentage than the Germans.
English (8.7) + Scottish (1.7) + Scotch-Irish (1.5) + Welsh (.6) = 12.5. Would you count Irish in there, too?
A friend of mine has, Emily. I can give him your e-mail address if you want, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk about it.
I'm a Czech-French-English-Swedish-German-American.
I don't see why there's need for a question
The diversity of the answers is all the need I have.
You're not going to get anything from me but Jamaican, but that's telling in and of itself, isn't it?
