Cherokee, German, Irish on Dad's side Irish and English on Mom's. My daughter's have inherited my nearly black eyes but not my skin tone. They are both very fair, like their fathers (one is American with Scotch/Irish background and my current hubby who is 100% English gent).
I am 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 German, (on my dad's side) and I have Irish/English/Welsh on my mother's side.
My husband's bloodline is pretty pure-he is 1/2 German (pure blooded German his mother's side) and 1/2 Native American. (His father was pure Oglala Sioux.) So, our kids are actually considered Native American in the little box you check on health/school questionaires.
Most of the people I know who have pure ancestry are recent immigrants. My friend Esther (for whom my youngest is named) is 100% Mexican & then went & married a German. I'd say Germex, but that makes poor Emily sound like an exterminator.

I'm German,Polish, Russian, Czech,Greek, and Irish.
I find ancestries fascinating, however, it tends to sound like how they name 'new' dog breeds, like labridoodles, other strange mixes, even including 'papers' to certify what we are.
My mom is 100% Filipino (nice tan skin w/dark hair)
Dad is Chamorro, the light one (which pulls a lot of white spanish heritage on him, born w/reddish brown hair and light skin)
So I say I'm half Filipino, half Chamorro. People here think I'm a mix of Chinese because of my Asian eyes... that's what I hear anyway, I don't think I look like your typical Asian though.
My son has Filipino, Chamorro, Portuguese, French, English and just a tiny smidgen of native American or so my MIL used to say. He's basically a chop suey mix as we say here in Hawaii, and he looks like a WHITE BOY. My husband and I call him our filipochamorro boy
My optometrist I worked with was Fillipino-Canadian. He had a daughter a year or so ago... she has that beautiful dark skin and hair. His wife is very fair, and thier new son looks more like her. Maria, the daughter is going to have boys lining up at her door.
My point: Fillipino people, generallhy speaking, have beautiful features.
A lot of my cousins actually have native american paperwork (I don't) and they claim native american status.
