I missed Saturday Night Genealogy Fun on GeneaMusings, but thought I'd post my Sweet Sixteen anyway!
Randy Seaver proposed:
1) List your 16 great-great-grandparents in pedigree chart order. List their birth and death years and places.
2) Figure out the dominant ethnicity or nationality of each of them.
3) Calculate your ancestral ethnicity or nationality by adding them up for the 16 - 6.25% for each (obviously, this is approximate).
4) If you don't know all 16 of your great-great-grandparents, then do it for the last full generation you have.
5) Write your own blog post, or make a comment on Facebook or in this post.
Here is my own Sweet Sixteen

Fourteen are predominantly English, or somewhere from the British Isles; two German. Based on Randy Seaver's forumla, that would be 87.5% English; 12.5% German.
And since I research my husband's families as well, here are his Sweet Sixteen He had only a single known German line.
