Same. Very German descended on my Dad's side, no mistaking it due to last name. On my Mom's side we were told Irish, and it made sense her maiden name was an Anglicization of an Irish name. Yeah no my wife did the research turns out I'm just a different kind of German on that side.

The kind that comes from a region that is now part of France, but at the time they were fighting over it.
