The kid's ethnic background

A few days ago, I calculated out The Girl's ethnic background, with the help of The Lady, her mom, and her brother.

The Lady's mum is equal parts French, Germish, English, and Scottish.

The Lady's dad is full English -- although his mom had a Germish maiden name, so it could be that he's 1/4 Germish; not substantiated.

And I'm half Japanese, a quarter Norwegian, and a quarter Swedish. (note: All grandparents born in the U.S.; all great-grandparents immigrated in their early 20s.)


Therefore, in descending order, The Girl is:

5/16 English (or maybe 1/4)
1/4 Japanese
1/8 Norwegian
1/8 Swedish
1/16 Germish (or maybe 1/8)
1/16 French
1/16 Scottish

...and, there ya have it! ;)


Sorting by continent or region, we have 3/8 Great Britain, 1/4 Asian, 1/4 Scandinavian, and 1/8 Western European.


(Culturally, she's Australian, with strong U.S. influences, and peculiar bits of Jp. and Norsk.)
