OMG, I can't believe you admitted that in public.  (I am too, no 
caveat - the great-grandmother was a daughter of a Confederate 
cavalryman and documented.  My grandmother made me go to one of their

think.)

I wrote in "Celt" for myself and "Ashkenazic-Hungarian" for the Spouse.  :)

Some friends of ours called themselves Samoan just because they could . . .
