Father's Side of the Family:
~Irish

~Native American (forgot which tribe)

~a few others that I forgot...

The only reason why there's no poll for this is because there are a lot of options and combos. :P

OK, here we go:

My father's father's parents were both Sicilian.
My father's mother's father was from Bari in Italy
My father's mother's mother was also Sicilian, from the same town as both of my father's father's parents.

My mother's father's father was Neopolitan.
My mother's father's mother was a Russian.
My mother's mother's father was a Quebecois, with the beautiful surname of DeJa.
My mother's mother's mother was a Chippewa (American Indian)

And, as a bonus, my stepmother is German, and my stepfather is Scottish/Irish, in the same descent as ParaKiss_Groupie is. He can drink incredible amounts and never get drunk.

-_- Bob here IMed me once, asking what he would be called if he were from Denmark and Holland.

(Bob) Would I be Denmarkian?
(tiff)..you're DANISH!
(Bob) ...But what about Holland? Am I Hollinder? Hollish?
(tiff) OMFG...you're DUTCH! -_-;;;
(Bob) ooooooh =D

Needless to say, I think I felt a grey hair pop up here or there.

Does any one have a parent who dislikes a part of their ethnicity? I'm just wondering if this is normal. My dad has a little bit of Irish in him and yet he seems to have this thing about not liking Ireland very much. Yet, everyday is Scottish pride day. am I missing something here?
