-PrimaCzarina- froggymama89 -PrimaCzarina- [I'm a Scott-Irish-Swede with a little German and Native American mixed in just for flavor.
The Native American is almost non-existent (1/32 at last count) in me but my sister and brother both have enough to get NatAm Scholarships.] WHAT? no way! I'm 1/8th and I couldn't get a native american scholarship...then again I don't have any paperwork. My grandmother on my dad's side was adopted. All she knows is her bio-mother lived on tribal land belonging to the Cherokee. And when your adopted in the 50s thats knowing a lot. [They have a fourth from their dad and an eighth from my mom so that's 3/8 I do believe. But I still think 1/8 is enough...but I'm not sure. ^^;] it is but they want me to prove it with my grandmothers birth certificate which she can't get. I don't know if they stopped doing it by then but they used to alter birth certificates to have the adoptive family on it. It was common and normal because you just didn't talk about adoption and no one knew if they were adopted.

To be honest, I'm not sure they have the right paper work. For one, their dad's birth certificate doesn't have his real dad's name on it. But their aunt is working on figuring it all out. xP]

On my Dad's side, my Aunt traced my family directly to these two French brothers, so basically I'm French and British on that side.
On my Mom's side, I'm Irish, Scots-Irish (there's a difference, but I'm not sure what it is), British, and Welsh.
But, mostly, I'm a good ole' Southern girl. I was born in Texas, we moved to Alaska, then California, but all that was before I was three. I have two memories of Alaska before it all become Alabama. After was Virginia, then Alabama again, now I'm in Hawaii. While I was in Virginia, even though it's the south, the school I went to was weird and people teased me for my accent, so I taught myself to speak without it, but it's been coming out a lot more than usual lately. One more trip down south and it'll be back I bet.
That's about it, haha. Oh, fun fact: I'm related to the guy who secured the Confederate's loss in the Battle at Gettysburg ^.^
