when I was little I thought it was so boring to be "100 percent Italian" (Dad was born in Molise and all my great grandparents on my maternal side were from Sicily and Puglia)....I used to pretend I was half Swedish, etc, so strange of me! Now I think it's really cool to be all italiana!! ...I can totally understand being more attached to "one part" of the family heritage....I identify mostly with my Molisan side since I've been there many times and know the dialect.... I almost consider my pugliese and Sicilian quarters to be other ethnicities because I don't know much about them! so interesting! I love hearing about people's ethnic backgrounds!

I am 100% Italian (born in Italy, my parents both come from the same town Castelvecchio Subequo, province of L'Aquila.

My husband is also 100% Italian, (also born in Italy, his mother is from Carini, Sicily and his dad from Palermo, Sicily)

I love being Italian and I love listening to Italian music (though it drives my children crazy when I play it)

Yes, I am Italian, Canadian French, and English with some Irish too. My mother swears there is some Native American in there somewhere too, but I haven't been able to prove that yet!

My grandmother was born in Italy and came to America when she was less than a year old. My grandfather was born in Maine, but was of Canadian French descent and I was able to trace his line back to France in the 1600's! So, my father is half Italian and half French. My mother is English, Irish, French, and she suspects some Native American ancestry in there somewhere. My mother's family has been in America since the 1700's, when they came over from England to settle in New England.

My son is even more interesting! His father is African American.

Anyway, I mostly identify with my Italian heritage as I did not have a lot of contact with my mother's side of the family. My grandmother was very close to us and we loved Sunday dinners with the extended family--I miss those days!

On my father's side I am Sicilian, Cherokee Indian, Scottish and Irish. On my mom's side I am Black Dutch, Cherokee, and Scottish for sure, and maybe something else. I am trying to find roots.
