All of my ancestry is the same. German from Russia. I can trace some of them back to the 14th century. I have wondered from time to time if any of my ancestors mixed with a Russian here or there, but the grandparents were adamant that that did not happen. Regardless, some of my ancestors were short, with dark hair and dark eyes and some were tall, fair skinned, blue eyed, blonds. I don't know if I look German or not, but like I mentioned in another thread, whilst in Prague, I was mistaken for a German a few times.
Husband is German/Cherokee/Cheyenne/Irish, but he definitely has the look of a Norwegian. He says he has a tiny bit of African, too, but I am not sure I believe it. I would never guess he had any Native American heritage, but it is definitely there.
