It approximates one..lol. Snapshots in time my friends.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

As far as I've been able to gather, my family has been mainly German/Swedish/Belgian with a recently discovered hot beef injection from (of all people) King Duncan of Scotland. Yes, the same one from Macbeth.

My mom is Italian- 100% (Archie was originally Arcci) My grandparents both came over as children.
My father is 100% Swedish (Lundborg).
I guess that makes me a Swede Italian.

Mom's side of the family is English, immigrated to Canada and eventually to the US, eh. Dad's side is Polish / Lithuanian.
I'm considering ponying up the hundred clams to participate in the Genographic project. Anyone done this?

Pure Australian wog here.
My genetic background is so mixed I think it would be easier to say that there is no Asian or African and very little Middle Eastern bloodstock in me.
Can date Father's mother's Family name to 285 BCE Greece, his father was born in Gdansk / Dansig Poland /Prussia...records can't go back any further there.
Mother's side is all over Europe and the British Isles since goodness knows when.
