Default Re: What is your Ethnic heritage/descent?

My Father's father immigrated from Norway, he brought with him my family name, Larsen, but it was changed at immigration, and we had the choice of being Larson or Goodmanson. We chose Larson. When I have some free time, I'm legally changing it back for fun. (Probably in the next five years.)

My father's mother was from Regina in the Praries of Canada, and was a WASP, family name Grainger. So basically British Scottish, but I abbreviate and say UKish.

My mother's father came over from German relatives who lived in Poland; MIGHT be something else in there, but we just think it's German. He was held in a camp by the Nazis at one point. I can't say the name here because it's not a good idea to let people know your mother's maiden name.

My mother's mother is straight German. Relatives fought for Hitler's army, too. I met one of them.

And there you have it.

1/2 German, 1/4 Norwegian, 1/8 UK
