[dingo]

50% Filipino - dad's side
25% Filipino/25% Chinese - mom's side (at least that's what my family says)

Born in Manila, PI. Immigrated when I was 3 with my family. I get mistaken for every other Asian ethnicity EXCEPT Filipino (go figure) because I look more Chineesy. I can speak fluent Tagalog, and also read, write (hira, kata, kanji), and speak Japanese. I'm one screwed up bowl of ramen.

Noboday famous in the fam, but I'm hoping one day my 3 year-old daughter will become famous by finding a way to cure all diseases, that or blowing up the entire planet with a paperclip and a can of Ovaltine.

As a useless tidbit, all my oldschool parents, aunts, uncles (in true Filipino fashion) NEVER pronounce "4Runner" correctly. To them, it's a "Porannur". Come on people, "F", "Effffff", it's the the sixth fricken letter of the alphabet. It somehow magically disappears from them and turns into a "P".

hahaha tell me about it! And its never "this, that, there, or the," but rather "dis, dat, dare, and duh."

100% American, of 50% Irish (Old Man) and 50% Lebanese (Mom)descent. Mom's mom came from New Zealand after WWII, my gramps was born in Hillhead, SD, settled in Twin Cities (West Side St. Paul).
Dad's mom came from Ireland at age 15 in 1925, his dad farmed in Rosemount (now a suburb of TC). They met in St. Paul, got married and raised 5 Irish hell raisers in the West End, my dad was the youngest.
I like Lebanese food very much, Irish food is basically non-existent.
Nobody famous that any of you probably have heard of, although some local "legends" exist in neighborhood folklore.
I am all-American, though, I love America. However, I recognize my ancestors and their importance in making who I am. My DNA for starters, but also those good old values from the old country.

My family is mostly of german descent although Im not exactly sure of my own ethnic make-up.

And I am related to a certain NFL quarterback that plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

No movie stars, musicians, pro athletes, or mass murderers in my family.

Mostly Scottish & Norwegian but grew up in Los Angeles...... I learned parts of Tagalog, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese growing up. Granted, most of what I learned were Hello/Goodbye, swear words, and pick up lines.... Now I am learning German and Italian because my wife was born in Germany and lived in Italy for a while. When I can master English I will try to become fluent in at least 3 other languages but for now I'll just stick to what I already know =)

The most famous relation is to Sir William Wallace but that is going back quite a ways. Related through the Wallaces of Craigie but I have no idea what that makes us.

My wife has been on the Food Network and the Travel Channel a few times so I consider her to be famous now (I was in a 2 second clip on one of the shows. I think that makes me mostly famous, right!)

Thanks again to all who post valuable information on this site, I have learned plenty in the last few months thanks to you guys. I truly appreciate the knowledge.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to you all, whichever floats your boat!

Both grandmothers immigrated as young girls, both grandfather's parents were immigrants. (It's a West Michigan thing)
Nobody famous, but my maternal great grandmother was somehow connected to Dutch royalty. She married a brick-layer and was cut off from the family.
