This is a general question really and I am asking this since I myself am 7/8ths Norwegian.

only in spirit :(

0%. I am 100% pure Polish. no other nationalities.

How am I supposed to know? I have family from Hamburg, Berlin, Essen, Eastern Prussia and today's Czech Republic. I also heard once that there was something about Italian Hugenots, but I have no idea.

Either way, I don't have Norwegian citizenship, so I'd say I'm not Norwegian. Also, Ny Nordland wouldn't want me there. :D

I've probably got some Norwegian, my ancestors were willing to fuck anything that had two legs and wasn't capable of outrunning them.

0/32nds Norwegian.

Why the hell would I? My dad's family is Irish/Welsh and me ma's family is Greek/Turkish-Cypriot.

a 100% Finn dances on this grave! :D

The Welsh part gives you a distant chance.

I have little if any norweigan in me. Im mainly from what is now czech republic, though I also have trace amounts of english irish and german.

It does?

The Welsh part gives you a distant chance.Well, to give to that there were Viking towns in western Wales and these towns were mostly from modern Norway. As well, many noble families were part Norwegian due to their Norman heritage.

where there any in England or Russia....

Wouldn't a better question be how Danish or Swedish we all are? - After all, Norway has a long history of being one or the others bitch.

where there any in England or Russia....Yes, in both cases there were.

SNIP

I guess there are little Swedes in all of us :)

Well, I like fjords and reindeer. That's about it.

Well, I like reindeer

you monster!

I guess there are little Swedes in all of us :)

I hope they don't have their fun by kicking the crap out of the little Scots in me.

I hope they don't have their fun by kicking the crap out of the little Scots in me.Not if the little Scots pull a Highland Charge on them!!?!?!

you monster!

Have you ever had "Dyrestek med viltsaus"?!? YUM!!

I'm half Norwegian and half Irish. My name, the real one that someone else totally thought of, is a Norwegian clan that settled in Ireland.

I'm a little Norwegian, but I'm mostly Swedish and English.

well, as far as heritage, I don't think very much.

But I can say Hello, How are you, I am doing well, and thank you all in Norwegian!

Also, I read parts of the norwegian constitution this weekend. Mostly cuz I'm a big nerd. *grins proudly* All this I think entitles me to voting that I pillage villages. Because, even tho I dont, I might, if there were any villages in my area worth plundering! :D :p

I'm not Norwegian at all. As far as I know I'm a mix, mostly English, smattered with a little German, Polish and French.

How can you be a % Norwegian? either you are or you aren't.

German, Irish, English, more Irish, Scots, maybe some Welsh, Austrian, a smidgen of French, a bit of Polish or Russian perhaps, some sort of Scandanavian....


Basically I am Northern European mutt.

My friend also has the mindset that a person is either Irish or not. It's not so much that my left side is Norwegian and my right is dominated by German blood, it represents our heritage, family and traditions. Someone who is completely Norwegian-American will have a noticeably different tradition during, say, Christmas compared to someone with a great-grandfather who was half Norwegian due to his debilitating quadraplegic-ness. I'm half Norwegian, my father is completely Norwegian. My name is Anders Jahn Thompson (I'm from Wisconsin, Scandanavians are common) and that comes from my dad's heritage. However, we eat a lot of German foods and other things. I guess you can't be 100% of anything in the US because of the inundation of American culture by everyone else's culture, but the idea remains. Or whatever.

Well I think I'm... (going back some 20 centuries...)

Partly romanized Gaul from Gallia Cisalpina
Partly Langobardic
Somehow Slavic (high cheeks) and maybe even somehow Hungaric
Some touch of Mediterranean
A bit of Germanic
...
this makes me 100% Italian!

This is a general question really and I am asking this since I myself am 7/8ths Norwegian.

possibly about 12% by birth. i'm 50% Welsh, and then a mixture of German, Polish, Russian, Norweigan, and French.


i'm a european mongrel :D

im swedish, but my girlfriend is Norwegian.. so, I guess that makes me Icelandic... or...

I'm everything, and therefore nothing. I voted 1-25% cause odds are... between the welsh and the scottish-irish and the english, and the native american and the possibly yiddish and whatever you call those people in appalachia, somewhere along the line, I got some. And yeah, I'm Ny Nordland's worse nightmere. And damn proud.

I'm a full quarter Norwegian, from my paternal grandmother, who happens to be from Wisconsin. A lot of Scandinavian and Baltic types seem to have settled in the Midwest...Is it because the insanely cold weather reminded them of home?

maybe something from my british heritage....

But i'm part

(in order of %
spanish (catalan + andaluce)
welsh
english
scottish
irish
french (small amount)
arab (very small amounts)
jewish (ditto)

that i know of anyway

And my baby's mother is norwegian (i think a great grandfather was irish) so my kid will be 49% norwegian

[fear] [shock] [horror]

you must be one of the dreaded mud people then?!?!?

RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!

(;) )

I bet there's some in there somewhere.

I am 100% Norwegian :D and I am proud of it

If there not take their women home with you if you want, as the Viking did of old.:p Yet, I must say that if anyone ever starts this I will gladly join as I need some more gold.

Well, I'm much more in the market for a hunky manslave than some random women. I'm not sure what i'd do with them, except maybe do my homework. But thatd defeat the point of this learning thing anyway,wouldnt it? Oh well.

You're in the market for a hunky manslave? We should go shopping together. :p ;)

Who the hell knows how much I could be... dad traced the family tree once and before it came to America it's last country was Germany, but there have been so many bloody other European countries it's been traced back through... all I know is I do like the idea of taking a really big boat and burning villages, so that had to be my answer.

Sounds like a plan.....free saturday? :p ;)

via my allegedly norman ancestory maybe about 1-25%.

Sounds like a plan.....free saturday? :p ;)

Are you looking for a hunky norwegian manslave? :eek: I'm only asking 'cause of the thread, you see... Not because I might have a little norwegian in me... You know... I mean... That is... Eh... http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/scared011.gif

A hunky manslave of any nationality or ethnicity will do. I don't discriminate on the basis of race, heritage, or religion. Requirements are must be smart, considerate, willing to listen to me bitch, and give good massages.

I'm sure you have further requirements... I'm sure Mr. Hasselhoff (http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7633/hasselhofflove7qq.jpg) is not acceptable as a "hunky manslave" even if he gives good massages :p

I might know of someone else who does fill those requirements though... ;)

Yes. Further requirements can be discussed later, once the prospects abilities at the listed requirements are met.

No. Hasselhoff do NOT qualify. Regardless of massage qualities.

You have my msn....direct inquiries my way ;)

Well... I've probably got a bit in there. I was born in what was once upon a time the Danelaw, so a bit of Viking DNA might have wafted in somewhere. Most of my family migrated to Yorkshire though (from Ireland, India, France, etc.)

I'm a Yorkshire lad though, and I suppose the cultural difference between Northern and Southern England stems ultimately from the differing histories of invasion, so a certain amount of my ethics and values come from a partly Norwegian/Scandanavian culture.

A lot of people here seem to be of U.K. descent so I will say this that many of the British isles have Norse blood, but it has been diluted to a fraction of a percent of the many generations.

I once ate dinner in the Norwegian restaurant at the Norway section of Epcot center. That's as close as I get to being Norwegian.

i'm actually from the last remenants of the duchy of normandy so i rekon i'm as norse as i can get without being from norway :p

My friend also has the mindset that a person is either Irish or not.

Sorr, I could have been clearer. My point is that Norwegian is a nationality, a language, and an ethnic group. You could claim to be Norwegian if you either: have Norwegian citizenship, speak the language or identify as ethnically Norewegian. Bloodlines play a role in both citizenship and identity, but I don't think anyone can say that they are 1/4 Norwegian because one of their grandparents was. Either they identify as Norwegian or they don't. This doesn't preclude you also identifying as part of other ethnic groups that you might also have links to. But to break it down into percentages or fractions doesn't make sense.

25%German 25%Lichensteinian(er?) 37 1/2% Irish 12 1/2% Austrian, but thats only going back to where my ancestors were from before coming to the US any info from over there I have no clue on.

Oh my god, there is actually a Norwegian restuarant? Sweet hell. I hope they marked the napkins so that you could tell the difference between them and the food...

Well, I would you say you are mostly Germanic from what you have listed.

Well, yeah in terms of were they came from, even though I look more Italian than anything else according to most people I know, what I meant was I don't know if any of them were of "mixed" ancestory for lack of a beter term before they came over.

Well, I say to that is that unless if I see a family tree going back a few hundred years I will not be able to say anything except that you can be descended from any number of ethnicities.

Yeah basicly what I was saying, don't have any information from before they came to America so have to judge it on what I have. Only really concearned because I fing geneology quite interesting and its mildly annoying not being able to go back any farther.:)

i'm actually from the last remenants of the duchy of normandy so i rekon i'm as norse as i can get without being from norway :pActually, the Norse in Normandy in nearly all cases have probably been diluted to below 5% due to intermarriage.

None that I know of, but two of my grandparents had red hair & were from Northern England & Scotland, so I dare say there's some Viking blood in there.

Wouldn't a better question be how Danish or Swedish we all are? - After all, Norway has a long history of being one or the others bitch.

Actually, it was Norwegian vikings that terrorized the rest of Europe for about 500 years. Then, the black death killed off the Norwegian royal line, and the next-in-line happened to be a Swede. As a matter of fact, all of Scandinavia was united in one way or another through various personal unions from around 1300 to 1900. So it doesn't make any more sense to talk about being Danish, Swedish, or Finnish than Norwegian, except in an ethnic sense, which is what we're doing here. Also, don't forget that it was Norway that colonized Iceland, Greenland, and North America (Vinland.)

Sounds like a plan.....free saturday? :p ;)

For manslave shopping? Baby, I'd cancel any plans. ;)

Massages? An excellent requirement :D

For you, baby, I could be... ;) [/Sleazy Antonio Banderas/Puss-in-boots from Shrek 2] :cool:

*Wriggles then faints* :p

Actually, the Norse in Normandy in nearly all cases have probably been diluted to below 5% due to intermarriage.

except my family moved from normandy to jersey about 600 years ago and dilution of the gene pool in jersey didn't really happen until the late twentieth century :p

Hm, my father is from Düsseldorf, my mother from Birmigham.

But their mother was born in Wales, and her father had a little bit of Irish. So perhaps I have some scandinavian ancestor a few hundred years ago.

Woo! Birmingham

my dads parents moved down from scotland, and my moms side of the family have always been in birmingham, but theres possibly a welsh person along the line somewhere. and there is someone from norway on my dads side

What a brilliant choice of words!:D I love the idea of random DNA samples floating into mine, as tho nothing hot and heavy had to happen :p;)

(haha, i just had this mental image of a woman walking in on a cheating man, and him going, "I'm sorry baby! She just wafted in!" :p)

For manslave shopping? Baby, I'd cancel any plans. ;)
Swell, then. No you of any stores? (You know, law of supply and demand does not so much seem to apply here, cuz I know there is LOTS of demand, yet no one is willing to supply. Why IS that??


Are you hunky then? :p;) Hunky is the least of his problems. How's he gonna massage a girl in DC all the way from Norway?? Speaking of...

Thanks, I do try.

No, therein lies the trouble, methinks. :(
I think we will have to find ordinary (hunky) men, and try to charm them into being our slaves. ;)

Oh my. Again with the fainting!

Yes, seems I have narcolepsy. :rolleyes: :p

Ouch, I felt that slap lol! :p
Did it come out sounding mean? Honest to God, I thought it was hilarious. More a playful jab than a slap, then, I hope. :fluffle:

I could get smelling salts or some cold water to splash on your face. But I'm sure loads of gallant potential manslaves would be upset at me for taking away their opportunity to revive you :p

None that I know of, but most people think I'm Scanidnavian, and I'm 6'4 tall and have long blonde hair, so maybe there is some Scandi in me. :D

I voted for the last option.

It didn't sound mean, I was just imagining the result of the guy saying that to his girlfriend. :p

Ethnic Breakdown of Strathcarlie:

I'm norwegian (actually only about 75% but the rest is from the faraoe islands) :D

My Great-Grandfather was Norweigen. That doesn't make me very Norweigen, but I happen to be the one grand kid that inherited nearly all the Norweigen features (very pale skin, long nose, etc). I can also do a wicked Norweigen accent.

There is a slight chance one of my ancestors was raped by Swedes during the Thirty Years War, but that's about it.
I guess I'm as Bavarian as you can get - traced back for 5 generations and damn well proud of it.

He. Ever seen the Recess episode with Yope from Norway? It sounds exactly like that.

I'm norwegian (actually only about 75% but the rest is from the faraoe islands) :DWell, then the Faeroe islands have a great deal of Norwegian blood in them due it long being held by the Norwegian crown and being of a admixture of Pictish blood and Norwegian so it can be assumed that you are more then 75% Norwegian.

ok maybe 80 to 100% I like my longboat anyhow.

nope, sorry. I think you'll sound hilarious anyway.

It is very funny. I amaze people with it. Unfortunately, it's been a while since I practiced, so I'm not sure how good it is right now.

Alright, you can come raiding with me and my crew and get your complementary point hat, but you have to bring you own axe/sword and your own shield.

I'm Icelandic in heritage so I have Viking blood in me. :D

me grandmother's Norwegian. . . but then again, she was also Scottish, English, Welsh, French, and other things. I'm mostly Italian though. . .

If I had to choose what kind of Scandinavian I could be, it'd be Swedish. Norwegian is just too vague. :)

Unfortunately, I have keine Norwegian in me - just Dutch, perhaps some Scottish and German, and Greek. Oh, and I look like a Bulgarian vampire. ^^

Besides my half Japanese part, I know I have parts English (mothers fathers side; Mayflower), Irish (two unrelated great grandmothers), Dutch (mothers mothers side; New Amsterdam), German (settlement in Maine), and American Indian (mothers fathers mothers mother). I probably have parts of more or less whoever settled in the Northeastern coast of North America from the 1600s till the late 1800s. I think I can say by now I'm half American, half Japanese, but that dosn't seem to satisfy many people.

Maybe a little Norwegian in there somewhere.

I'm 100% human(alright, maybe 99.2%:p )

Alright, I hear that there is a rich village a few miles away, with a number of women, so it is time for raiding.

Some of my Great-Great-Grandparents were Danish.:cool:

I don't exactly know my ethnicity in regards to scandanavia, but i do know I have a reacurring dream in which longboats and burning villages play a major role. Then again, i could be one of the victims to.

bump

I pwn Norway.

I am of Swedish descent.

No, if you read up you would know that the Norwegian royal family died out and then Denmark's royal family being closest in kin got control in the Middle Ages.
