You see what I'm saying?
Sorry to come off as pretentious... just venting some thoughts, I guess.

No big deal.
I have trouble myself...
I'm positive that my grandfather (dad's side) was 100% German since we have paperwork from Bavaria. My mom was born in Austria to my "Hungarian" grandma and grandpa, who were born during the Austrio-Hungarian Empire so we don't know if they are really Hungarian or Austrian. Combine that with my dad's mom, whose parents were from Poland or from Austria depending on when in history you look at a map. Lots of border changes in the 20th century.
So I just roll with it and say I'm 25% German, 50% Austrian, and 25% Polish. Best guess at least.
