KimJ said on September 23, 2011
My first name in its original form being Kimberly means ruler. My mother spelled it Kimberlee after my great grandmother with her middle name being Lee. My last name is Jones which originated with the old chieftains of Wales. Being the fact that I also have a splash of royal blood in me makes me think that my name is rather perfectly suited to me! lol That and my personality is that of one to take charge.
KimJ said on September 23, 2011
Oh, and I am English, Irish, and Danish, but when I dress European (worked for Lufthansa) I look straight German. I guess that Viking and Celtic blood really came through!

I was born to a Guatemalan parent and a Mexican. My grandma (on my mom’s side) is a full blooded Spaniard. My mom also has some French ancestors. While on my dad’s side, he has italian and french ancestry as well. They both have some Native blood also.
My last name is Lemieux.
I find it kinda weird. Heh.
Rage said on September 8, 2011
i believe the part where your Mexican parent can be mixed with a bit of European cause there is alot of Europeans in Mexico, i but i highly doubt your Guatemalan parent has any french Italian or Spaniard
