In greedo's absence and after a lubricating bottle of vino. I would like to stake my claim for the most exotic blood in CC with 50% parsi. How anglo-saxon are CC really?

I wouldn't like to stake any claims as my father was less than forthcoming about anything other than his Scottish ancestry which, with his Jewish surname and atypical Jamaican physiognomy combined with my mother's Irish/Welsh/Scottish bloodlines makes selecting an ethnic grouping on survey forms a tad challenging.

I've been mistaken as one of their own by:
Maoris
Sikhs
Aborigines
Samoans
Bantu's
Turks
Moroccans
Egyptians
Hindus

And on aural evidence alone:
Brummies (when I have a cold)
Scousers (ditto)
Geordie
Tyke

As most of the evidence suggests a majority Celtic presence in my genes particularly Scottish Celtic genes I run with that I'd when it come to ethic dress and revel in the ensuing confusion.

I have traced Irish in my tree, but nothing more exotic than that (unless you count north Norfolk!). I was more surprised that only 3 generations ago both my mums & dads side were Methodist - nobody knew!

Irish, Welsh (way back) Russian Jew (Not so way back), English (over my shoulder). My boys can throw in Italian, German, (way back) Luxembourg, Jewish Pole (more recently) as well courtesy of Mrs. KH.
Their great great grandfather was celebrated as the first Socialist Mayor of Luxembourg so I can throw in a bit of politics as well. :B)
