Whose pedigree sounds fascinating piefke? I myself am at least 1/16 English. So far, I am at least 3/4 Black, 1/8 White (English, Scottish), and 1/8 Amerindian (Waccamaw-Siouan) from Bladen County, NC. That is quite interesting. VibeSoldier, I've heard it is rather common for African-Americans to have Native American admixture. To what extent?

I would think it is quite common but I cannot say that most or all of us have Amerindian ancestry.

your ancestry is fascinating, vibe. i've also supposedly got some native american in my background, but none is verified...my family came from all over the us, LA, KY, TN, IN, MS, VA, MN, ND, WI, IA, IL...and so on and so on...so genealogy can get difficult. fortunately many libraries are transcribing their records onto the internet. very helpful. ;D

Ethnically I am pure 100% Somali from Northern Somalia, racially I would say there was some mixing somewhere down the line about 400 years ago, other than that I am pure Cushitic.

Nope. I am an American mix, though I identify as black because I grew up in a black community and even though many of my family is mixed, they consider themselves black. Plus, I myself am mostly black, though I have known since I was a child I have a mixed background. My grandmother is a mix of English, African (Barbadian), Scottish, and English; her mother is 3/4 Amerindian from North Carolina and 1/4 Scottish and her father is 1/2 Black and 1/2 English. My maternal grandfather is descended from "Black-Indians". Black-Indians is a term used to describe Amerindians who have substancial African admixture and who also claim Amerindian culture. I am not so sure about my father's ancestry though. He is black American, but I am not sure if he is part Amerindian and part Irish or not. The Barbadian part came from the fact that I spent the last few years doing genealogical research. I found that my black ancestors arrived from Barbados as slaves to South Carolina. Therefore, I am a mix of African (Barbadian-Black American?), English, Scottish, Amerindian, and possibly Black-Indian , and Irish. Cool mix! Very American.

I am 100% Caucasoid but have some diversity on a national level. I go back to great grandparents to see what nationalities I have (since most of them immigrated). Maternal Grandmother's mother- German Grandmother's father- Irish Grandfather's mother- British Grandfather's father- British Paternal Grandmother's mother- Irish Grandmother's father- British Grandfather's mother- German Grandfather's father- Irish
So I guess I am essentially 25% German, 38% British, and 38% Irish.

Is that very important to you? To not have any Turkish admixture?

The only type of mixbreeds that come out equal or superior to those being mixed are eurasians.
