What kind of different ethnicities are blood related to you?
My mother is half-Jewish, that is my grandmother is fully Jewish who came from Prague. Also, my great-grandmother on my father's side was Italian but always said she was Croatian. I actually met her, she lived to the age of 96! Italian blood...

All of my direct descendents that i know of are Serb. I have some 1/2 Croat and 1/4 Croat cousins but they consider themselves more Serb. I have some cousins in Turkey cause my baba's sister married a Turk so their grandkids would be mostly Turk now i think. But im not blood related to their Croat or Turkish sides ;D
You could even say i have superior genes.

my descendants have always been croats for hundreds of years. if not nearly a thousand. ofcourse somewhere far down the lines when croats first settled the dubrovnik region, my ancestors most probably included illyrians, romans, greeks, but as far as recorded they are all croats.
croats from my area only marry other croats from their area. well atleast thats been the tradition. the new generation might marry other peoples, but mostly marry their own because the dubrovnik area is 95% croats, so most chances are that you will find a croat partner.

descendant 1. A person, animal, or plant whose descent can be traced to a particular individual or group. 2. Something derived from a prototype or earlier form: Today's bicycles are descendants of the earlier velocipede.
ancestor 1. A person from whom one is descended, especially if more remote than a grandparent; a forebear.
Examples: 1) Grandfather (ancestor of #2 and #3) 2) Father (ancestor of #3 and descendant of #1) 3) Son (descendant of #1 and #2)

The church records show that we have been Croatian for at least five hundred years. Thats when the records for that particular region began. An educated guess would be that that wouldn't have changed going back earlier.

Completely Serbian for hundreds of years, as far back as the records show.

Interesting thread . On my dad's side I have some roots from Kazakhstan (Kurdish), Armenia (both Armenian and Kurdish) and Russia. But other than that his side of the family is pretty homogenic. On my mum's side I got a lot of different roots; Persian roots, Kurdish roots (Iran), Armenian roots and even East European roots (Romania, Russia). Religiously, I know that I have both Zoroastrian and Christian roots. However, it's only very few family members who follow these religions now; most are Muslims (both Sunni (dad's side) and Shia (mum's side)). When people ask me what I am I just tell them that I'm Kurdish and Persian. I don't really have any close ties to Kazakhstan, Russia, Armenia or whatever. My great grandma' lived in Armenia until she died but I never knew her so... My husband is not as mixed as I am. He has some faaar out Azerbaijani (Azari/Turkish) roots on his mother's side but like me he doesn't have any close ties to those Azerbaijani roots. His father, my father-in-law, is ½ Greek; people who know him know that he's got these Greek roots because his dad speaks Greek sometimes but when people who don't know him ask him about what he is he just says he's Persian.

Going back some generations, only Bosniak marriages. Going way way back - my moms side seems to come from Lika area (Croatia) My dad's also seems originally from Croatia but unsure which area.

I'm from north western Bosnia (Krajina). The furthest I can trace my heritage is patriarchaly exactly to Niksic in Montenegro at around 1900.

As far as I know, just about everyone in my family hails from Bosnian Muslim roots. I haven't been able to find out much about my mother's side of ethnic origins going back further than 3-4 generations. Most of my old family on both ends dwelled predominately in Eastern Bosnia where I still hold quite a bit of land, some in RS some in FBIH.

Ethnicites found:
-Italian -Greek -Vlach -Austrian Jew (married one of my uncles during WWII when her family fled to Albania) -Janina "Turk"(Im not sure of the real ethnicity) -German (recent)
Im related to none of these by blood except the second listed; and possibly third.
