one face, many ethnicities

The fellow who sold me my aquarium today guessed that I was of "East European" origin; specifically, he thought maybe Serbian or Czech.
I used to have a web page on this site with a collection of all the "what's your ethnicity" guesses I've had along these lines over the years, I should dust that off. Because in addition to Serbian/Czech, I've also had Italian, Irish (partial credit, there), "Jewish", Inuit(!), and others. No one's ever guessed German or Mennonite (not that many people have ever heard of the latter) or Scots-Irish.
