Norwegian heritage

[madDawg228]

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I'm only 1/4 Norwegian, but my Norwegian ancestors were the last ethnic group to emigrate to America (in the early 1900s), so that's the ethnic/national/whatever group that I identify the most with and have the most pride in. The rest of me is pretty much WASPy.

ETA: I was one of the drunk Norwegians celebrating with other drunk Norwegians at a bar in North Seattle yesterday.

I sort of am? My bloodlines are Finnish (from my dad) but my Mom was raised by good Minnesotan Norwegians so that's my family's cultural heritage. Hubby has Norwegian blood and his mama is a good Minnesotan Norwegian as well. However, Norwegian Constitution Day was something I hadn't heard of until college (I went to PLU).

ME! I'm at least half, according to my adoption papers. Of course, my bio-dad's heritage is Spanish and Italian, which tend to be stronger genes (thus my dark hair). But I burn immediately in the sun and have light-colored eyes. Definitely Nordic!

legal - that's AWESOME! I totally puffy heart family heirlooms like that! We just don't have many (any?) in my family. My mom was adopted so nothing from her bio family. I love that you know the emigrated basically direct TO Ballard right away!

I don't "uff da" as much as I used to, but it still pops out once in a while.
