Seems like there's a lot of us here with German heritage πŸ˜„

I usually just say "Asian" lol! Tracing back it's predominantly Scandinavian, Danish in particular from my mum's side. Whole lot of Indigenous Taiwanese until the Japanese invaded, prior to that The Chinese! When I did get it done though I was surprised at the number of Taiwanese people who had Dutch and Spanish as part of their lineage which I suppose makes sense given the history before becoming predominantly Chinese.

Whatever it was I'm now Australian πŸ˜›

All I've read from history is that my tribe is part of the Congo-Niger group that migrated from somewhere in North Afrika to the South in search of suitable land for agriculture & raising cattle. I don't know which language they spoke or what they were called then. But on arrival they encountered the San people from whom they got most of their language from, through being neighbours. And the Sans are the ones who gave my tribe the name they're known as today. They must have been bad neighbours because the name actually means- fierce angry people. LOL!

I'm African American and 1/5 Cherokee Indian. I hail from the southern U.S...Tennessee to be exact.

My great grandmother's last name was cloud and I'm in touch with many of my family members who are Indian.
