So I'd say I'm a "bitza"!

I'm 6th generation Australian baby! Can't get much more aussie than that! My roots trace back to scotland but my family has been here from the very start. My great, great, great grandparents were actually the first people in Western Australia to get married. My great, great grandfather discovered the caves at yanchep....then he was killed by aboriginals. His wife used to secretly give them ribbons and stuff but one day they came when he was there and he threw boiling water on them...they came back later that day and speared him to death.

[Adam Brown]

Uhh at least 3 generations in Australia so far, but I'm told I've got Spanish, Irish, English and... Indian in me! My great-grandmother was 100% curry-eating Indian, making me basically 1-eighth indian, which is enough to legally claim myself to be Indian on my passport...

And anyone who knows me will know how ridiculous that is; I'm as caucasian as they get, but I'm actually more parts Indian than MC X-Sessiv...

uhuhuhuhuuhuhuhuhuhuh

[Intergalactic Spy]

My Dads side of the family have been farming in Australia for the last 160 years. Iam part of the first generation of children that will break that tradition

before that, the family is from Ireland

[jamie]

I was born in the bahamas, came here in 82 when i was about 18 months old.
my dads family is originally french, and i'm really not sure about my mums family.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Fuck that, just pack a backpack and walk out the door... hello it&#39;s Europe, it&#39;s not as if there&#39;s a lack of accomodation / transport / local beaver...

Oh by the way, I&#39;m Aussie as far as I can trace (Kalgoorlie family on me Dad&#39;s side - how much more Orstrayan can you get?&#33 but apparently all this shit got dragged up when my Mum&#39;s father carked it... he wasn&#39;t registered or anything and I think there&#39;s German in that side of the family so he was probably a Nazi war criminal or something.

Cool hey? I think that&#39;s a valid enough excuse for me to kill people I don&#39;t like...

[lysergic]

mostly australian.
but my grandmother is from lithuania (spelling?).

[mercedes]

Aussie with english and macedonian heritage
and i&#39;m actually related to the infamous ned kelly&#33; (through marriage, but still...) my grandma on my dad&#39;s side actually grew up in the kelly homestead, and my grandparents still own the land that it stood on( except its nothing but a couple of chimneys now)

[Bleak Prophet]

i was born and bred here, though it was a close call. i was conceived in england, then my parents went on a luverly romantik cruise to australia.

but because my old man&#39;s a pom, at least i can get an english passport when i travel...

ooor eerrr royalty... dunno what went wrong.

[MinistryofKitty]

im of pure aryan race and very proud of it

me, my parents and my grandparents were born in australia and all i know is that my mum&#39;s side grandparents are white and from singapore... so no, my ancestors are not convicts.

i went to britain a number of years ago to research my heritage and i have ancestors all over scotland and england. i originate from vikings and i have special celtic symbols and stuff made of silver.

i want to be the first in my bloodline to taint my heritage and marry a burmese guy my daughter will be called Leila Bianca (black white) because she will be mixed.

anyway im sure none of u care.

[K Babey]

My ancestors are all potatoe eaters.....lol, that&#39;s my nickname we Irish folk

[hitmonlee]

they eat potatoes and invent great inventions

wheelchairs with pedals
fireproof matches
wooden barbeques
waterproof tea-bags
solar powered torches
submarines with flyscreens

the list just goes on&#33;

[humanic]

4th gen australian and loving every second of it&#33;

before that, danish (not that you can tell it unfortunately) and welsh mix

[MinistryofKitty]

actually solar power torches are good because batteries run out so fast. i think u can get those torches from coles. u leave them in the sun during the day to charge up and then u can use them at night.

great for going bush.
