One of my great-great grandfathers was apparently from Ottawa. Apart from that, my ancestry is probably 100% italian dating back to several generations.

Scots-Irish and a non-negligible amount of Native American ancestry are my best guesses, given what I've been told by family members and the part of the country that I come from.

Too many to count so I'll take the basics:

Italian, Scottish, and Swedish.

Really, my whole family can be traced back to two valleys 40 kms apart, meaning there's probably a great deal of incest involved Tongue

Look, I find ancestry/geneaology as fascinating as the next guy, but I am not "nearly half-Irish ethnically"or whatever just because three of my mom's grandparents were descended from 19th century Potato Famine refugees.

I am American. My parents were Americans. My grandparents, all Americans. My great-grandparents were Americans as well. Ok, I think I had a few great-great grandparents who were born in Switzerland on my paternal side....

The relevant part of my ancestry is that they were all light-skinned Europeans.
