I don't like the quiz. It said I was French! Since any answer for any of the questions would apply to Italians (half of my actual ethnic group), I don't think that's right.
I dunno Jack. You always seemed a bit of a Francophile to me. Maybe it's that mustache. Though you might be right about the Italians.
Me, I'm happy being secretly Irish.
OTOH, Carmen is unhappy and confused at being pegged as Dutch! Twice - even when she changed her answers.
Chalk another up for Emerald Isle.

As I said, my little friend Maeread and her mother Maire will certainly be pleased. Maeread has dual citizenship and Maire, though raised in Boston, is more Irish than the Irish.
A bit like Cubans raised in Philidelphia I suppose.
Actually, the mustache is inspired by my nonno, who had one in his youth (at about my age) and I look scaringly like him with a mustache, not so much without. On the other hand, the family name is Leboffe, which derives from a Frenchman who started on a Crusade and decided that living in Gaeta was a lot better than dying in the Holy Land. Can't imagine why.
I once changed my answers for one of those quizzes too, and still got an answer I didn't like Maybe these quizzes are rigged! :-)
No, not rigged. Just terribly simple minded.
As for the family name: I had a good friend who was Greek (though born in Argentina of Greek parents who returned to Greece). Her family name was Varela - Latin not Greek. Seems that like your ancestor a crusading family went a little astray and ended up in Greece.
When I was a kid I always wanted to be a Mongol. Even dressed up like one for Halloween. Can't think why.
