Early on when DH and I were still new in our relationship, he went off on a teasing little rant about "You Americans! Always talking about being 1/4 this & 1/16 that & 1/64 the other. Now we Germans, we're just German!" His mother overheard him, and said "You DO realize don't you that my maiden name is Czech?". Oops! He still thinks it a little funny that Americans are so preoccupied with their ancestors, but isn't so vocal about it anymore :-). I haven't had my DNA checked, and doubt that I will, but it does sound like an interesting delve into the past.
