Ancestry of EM

almost 7 years

I realized that there are people from all over the world so I wanted to make a forum for people to pinpoint where.

Here are some prompts to help get you started, you don't have to answer all of them btw:

Where do you live now/where were you from originally?

What is your ethnicity?

Do you speak any other languages?

If you do, what is your favorite slang term?

Where do you want to be either now or in the near future?

So have at it em.

- Where do you live now/where were you from originally?

uk, born and mostly raised. i lived in nigeria for about 1/5th of my life tho.

- What is your ethnicity?

black british nigerian, im 1/4 trinidadian but legit know nothing about trinidad and tobago so i always pretend it doesnt exist lmao. i didnt pick up enough from my gran and my mum was raised in naija with her dad so. also 1/16th scottish which is a fact i like to share lolol. but ive never done that ancestry dna thing to know every random lil ethnicity.

- Do you speak any other languages?

i wish, my parents never taught me esan, anyway im tryna learn korean. also im sure nigerian pidgin english is not technically a language but im including it for next part :3

- If you do, what is your favorite slang term?

korean: heol, lol i just love how koreans say it. nigeria: idk any of our 100+ languages but there r some igbo/yoruba words thrown into pidgin and my fave term is probs 'shakara', the word sounds so funny esp in dramatic nigerian intonation lol.

- Where do you want to be either now or in the near future?

anywhere nice. im not fussed. at a place with a culture i dont despise at least.

I was going to do this the other day but I spaced so here's my 2018 ancestry (totally different from 2017 believe me)

Where do you live now/where were you from originally?
- I live in Wisconsin and I've lived in Wisconsin for my entire life so far.

What is your ethnicity?
- Very white. Lots of German and Irish, along with some Polish, Scandinavian, French and most other European bits and pieces scattered around.

Do you speak any other languages?
- I know a decent amount of Spanish but I'm not fluent in speaking it, moreso in reading and writing. I also know minimal amounts of German.

If you do, what is your favorite slang term?
- Not sure

Where do you want to be either now or in the near future?
- Who knows? Either I'll stay in Wisconsin or move elsewhere after college. I truly have no idea where I'll end up a few years down the road so I'm eager to find out. Not even entirely sure where I'd want to go.

So have at it em.

I live in Louisiana (USA) but I was born in Barcelona, Spain (soon to become Catalonia).

My ethnic background is Catalan and Castillian Spanish, and some German and Belgian background on my biological father's side.

I spoke Spanish as a child, but I don't speak it much anymore.

My favorite Spanish word is cuchara, which means spoon. It sounds like some war cry or an insult, and I love the way it rolls off my tongue in Spanish.

I want to possibly live in California or Florida as an elementary or middle school teacher. But I don't quite have the money for any of that, yet.

I live in Raleigh, NC, USA now. But I am originally from Atlanta, GA, USA.

I am Caucasian. Most of my heritage is from the British isles, but I have a touch of Croatian that is fairly apparent in my facial features.

I speak English, a fair amount of Spanish, and rudimentary Italian and French.

I don't speak Russian, but I like the family-friendly substitution of "blin" (pancake) for "blyat" (f*ck).

NYC is my favorite place, but seeing as my career is agriculture-oriented I probably couldn't live there permanently. Anywhere with people I love is a good place to be, too <3

Born in California (USA), currently living in Louisiana (Also USA).

The only ancestor who wasn't a mutt was my grandmother, who was majority welsh. So im at most 25% welsh, and 75% mixed various European races. Also a couple drops native american, apparently.

I only speak English, but I have been known to frequent google translate to poor results.

I plan on moving up north from where I currently am in a few years to northern USA, likely New York, Montana, or Minnesota. If not one of those, then back home to California.

I've lived my entire life in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

I have German, Irish, Polish, and Hungarian ancestors. 23andMe says there's some Scandinavian in there too. So I'm just about neon white.

I have a basic, if somewhat limited understanding of Spanish and Japanese. I'm fluent in Pittsburghese, the language of the gods (lol).

Who knows where life will take me? I'll edit this when I find out.
