Let's see here
Dad's dad's dad: English ancestry (Washburn)
Dad's dad's mom: German ancestry (Lutes)
Dad's mom's dad: Irish & Scottish ancestry (Tindall, mother was a Bishop of Scottish descent)
Dad's mom's mom: Irish ancestry (Quirt)
Mom's dad's dad: German ancestry (Frobel)
Mom's dad's mom: English ancestry (Pack)
Mom's mom's dad: Irish ancestry (Sproule)
Mom's mom's mom: Irish ancestry (Patrick)

So, that's 1/4 German, 7/16 Irish, 1/4 English and 1/16 Scottish

Should be noted that all Irish ancestry I have is Protestant Irish (both sides), from Ulster.

Cool. I have this ancestry as well. Of course, it's more common in Canada :/ Apparently, if I can prove my lineage, I am eligible to add "UE" to my name. Smiley

Being a descendant of the Loyalists is the genealogical equivalent to being a Mayflower descendant for Americans. I believe I also have a Mayflower ancestor, so I've got both. (The Washburns have been in North America since the 1600s, and were at one point a powerful political family in Massachusetts; one of the branches leads to a Mayflower passenger)
