Hi all, would anyone care to share some of your backgrounds? I'm a first generation Canadian, born in Toronto Ontario, Canada. My Father was born in Algarve Portugal, my Mom was born in St Paulo brazil, raised mostly by my Grand parents, and can speak in both languages. Anyways just asking

I thought this was going to refer to computer wallpaper, no joke! Anyway, whatever mine is, it's probably not nearly that interesting...

Well that's a start most on here I would assume are American, but unless your a native, your blood is from over sea's

Derailed on just the second post, continuing here. I have a shot of my brushless V hull boat flying through the wake on the desktop.

Fifth or sixth gen Canadian here, I am sure that I have some long gone relatives that came over on a boat from western Europe somewhere. UK, Ireland somewhere around there.

Fixed it for ya.

My great grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee, but other than that I'd guess white, white, white, white...

Hey Don, is that tan, or body hair

I come from a loose family. Lmao so I am German, Irish, Danish, English, and a slight trace of Blackfoot tribe.

Weird! That's not too far off from my mix. My grandpa on my mom's side was full-blooded Irish, and my grandma was half Danish and half Swiss. On my dad's side, it's mostly Cornish and Welsh (we have genealogist nerds in the family that can trace us back to a boat that came over in the 1650s), with German, French, and Blackfoot inter-mixed along the way.

hungarian, slovak, and irish for me.

That's crazy. And we both live in the Portland area. Haha

Oh my grandma is also checlosalkian? I can't spell it. whatever it was 80 yrs ago.

I am 100% Portlandish

Lol

I have a little Russian, German, and Swedish in me but so far removed from all of them (and so bad at geography) I couldn't find most on a map...a map with labels even!
