    Just a poll on your heritage!
    What ancestries you most identify with.
    Note... I only get to have 10 options so apologies if some of the groupings aren't 100% logical.

    Apologies because perhaps like many of us in Aus I can only pick one option.
    Early settlers so personally born in Aus, but heritage is Spanish, Southern Italian, Irish, English, rumors perhaps some aboriginal on my nans side, never pushed it for land rights etc though.

    Sorry... I was limited to 10.... Throw yourself into European?
    I would have liked to divide the European into sections too but there were no more options allowed.

    Have traced dads side of the family back to when they caught a boat from Hamburg to Port Adelaide. They mostly came from areas within Prussia which no longer exists.

    Traced mums side back to Cornwall, England.

    With a middle name of "Patrick", it is pretty obvious that I am Irish.

    I am not going to select "European incl British" :).

    Can I suggest you remove the Chinese option (bung them all into Asian) and replace the Chinese option with Irish :) :).

    I find it strange that you would put "Aussie" as option 1..

    It's as though you're implying you can be 4rth gen any nationality and not be considered "Aussie".. o_O

    We're all aussie if that's what we identify ourselves as..

    You can choose whatever you want for heritage... and you can choose multiple options. Win-win.

    I'm a pomme, but Hubby is a bitza. He's got some wealthy Spanish land owners down one side. There's also some rumours of Aboriginal, but that was long ago, so who know's what happened.

    Soo... I think a new poll with the various divisions of "European" is needed....
