Irish, Swedish, English, German, White Croat.

I've recently learned about the WC part. Those are the Croats who stayed behind in Central Europe and did not move to the Balkans. John Paul II's mother was White Croat. My surname translates to 'Croat'. And, that ancestor migrated from Austria.

My English ancestor landed at Charles Town, Massachusetts in 1633. My mom is in the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution, i.e. 'blue blood pedigree') through this line and we are cranking up membership for my daughter as well.

Americans can get deeply into this kind of stuff.

Oh yeah. Your question. If an American asks you, it's pretty dumb to answer 'American'. He wants to know what your ancestry abroad is. My answer usually is 'Swedish-Irish'.
