Lordy I haven't talked about this since sixth grade bahaha.
Mom's side:
Italian
Some more italian
German
Irish
Dad's side:
Italian
Scottish
English
Native American.
Everyone on from my mom's dad's side if full italian. My mom's mom is the german and irish, though I think that there might be some english mixed in with that too. I was told a while ago, but she and my mom aren't on speaking terms right now.
My dad's never been into this sorta stuff, so finding his side was always the hardest. His grandfather was full italian, another grandfather italian and scottish, which gave me my last name (Combs, which, way back, used to be McCombs). I'm not sure about the rest, but there's some english and actually a lot of Native American thrown in there.
So I'm a third generation italian-american, but then I'm native american too...so 8D
My grandpa (italian on my mom's side) and his family is HUGE, with big family reunions, so I've pretty much adopted the Italian culture the most. All I eat is spaghetti and pasta, but I haven't had homemade sauce since my mom always made that, and my dad and I really can't afford anything past mac and cheese much nowadays. My grandpa's last name is Giacobone, which his dad had changed from Giacoboni.
Funny thing about his dad, Albert Giacoboni, he came to America with his family when he was 11 or so, and was a newspaper boy in New York. As an adult he composed piano music, and was a pretty famous pianist, but where he lived (I can't remember this either) he wasn't accepted for being italian, so he used the stage name 'Al Cabin'.
I guess he liked name changes 8D. My mom used to be a good cook, but because my dad and I don't live with her anymore, she said told my sisters she won't cook for two ungrateful girls. Which is a shame. Her bbq-ed meatballs were to die for.
Off from that, in the summer, I turn brown and get a bajillion freckles, but if I don't go outside, ie if I'm babysitting, and don't get that tan, I turn almost green...so weird. And I have natural red highlights in my hair when I'm in sunlight, which I enjoy...
But I'm really short BD My whole italian side is haha.
