    We’re mostly mongrels in the US, even those with roots in Europe. I always thought I was 100% Polish, but discovered in the early 2000s that I had a German (possibly Prussian) great-grandmother on my father’s side. My wife is likely fully German, so our kids are more than half German but have a Polish last name.

      My great grandmother once gave an Irish carny a handie in exchange for a bag of peanuts and a look at an elephants bum ,(she was weird like that!). So ya… I’m basically Irish!
