Maternal gma-- 100% German
Paternal gpa-- 100% Armenian
Maternal gpa-- German, Scottish, Irish, English???
Paternal gma-- Never been able to get a straight answer on this, but she saws we are part NY Jew. Um, huh? Not really a race... Actually, being Jewish is one of those things that can refer to one's ethnicity OR religion. One can ethnically be a Jew without being a practicing Jew and one can be a practicing Jew without ethnically being a Jew. But there is such a thing as a Jewish ethnicity. Not according to HMDA....

Well, that's true, but according to HMDA the only distinction as far as ethnicity is "Hispanic" or "not Hispanic", so Italians, Germans, Polish etc. would not be an ethnicity according to HMDA either.

^^^ things that make you go "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Sorry, as an old geography teacher, this stuff is interesting to me and in my present job, it's annoying to hear stuff like "the applicant checked that he was 'white', it doesn't matter that they didn't check 'hispanic' or 'not hispanic' cuz it's obvious if they're white, they aren't hispanic". Me: "um, no, it isn't obvious. If you don't believe me, go to Spain and tell me that some of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Spaniards there aren't white."

I really have no idea, but a short google search indicates that my father's surname, Cobb, it is from Medieval England. My mother's maiden name is "Lamb" which, from what I can tell from a crude search, comes from New Zealand.

Maternal grandmother - Austrian and Hungarian.
Maternal grandfather - 100% Polish
Paternal grandmother - Scottish, Irish, English
Paternal grandfather – American. We can trace this side of the family back to my 7th great grandfather who fought in the French & Indian War.
I grew up in a Greek and Italian neighborhood. One thing’s for sure - between my family and my neighbors I always ate a good variety of food when I was a kid.

If your ancestors named Lamb ended up in New Zealand, they were almost certainly convicts exiled from England.
