I didn't come to Ellis Island between the years 1892-1924, but I came in the 1970s from the former Soviet Union.

I myself am Uzbekistani on my mother's side
On my father's side I am Mongolian.

What is your family background?

I can trace my back ground back to the 1600's ... All the way down i am English / British. I beleive, although i hasnt been proven that i am related to a person who wrote a hyme(s) from hymes anchant and modern, he also translated a few, but as i say, i cant be sure of that. I have a family tree that my grandmas has put together, it goes along way. (id like to say that most records from England have been distroyed due to fire, mainly from the great fire of london, that distroyed most of london.)

I know only snippets of it. but apparently I'm distantly related to the Queen, and my uncle's an Earl.

I have Spanish, German and filippino blood in me. I look more spanish and filippino than anyhting. my hair and eyes are pitch blakc and I'm dark (or tan, but I hate saying that)

My great-great grandfather was commanding general of an army.

and... I don't remember anyything else....
I know that my last name was changed because we were fugitives during the 1700s from the Spanish that invaded the Philippines when we help free prisoners from a man-of-war.

yeah... what else...

don't remember

I am from Eastern Europe Slovakia. I am part German and Hungarian. That's all I know.
