What Nationality is the last name Easley?
I can't tell from your wording if Bob is a living person or ancestor. Either way... I suggest you drop by the Easley forum http://genforum.genealogy.com/easley/mes... Per the above message, there seems to be some thinking that the immigrant was a Huguenot, who came to VA. I won't try to evaluate if this information is reliable, or tradition that is not supported by records. Without doing basic research, it can be tricky to insure that any of this is your correct line. So, I STRONGLY encourage you to be sure you have worked back and documented, rather than 'jumping' to the immigrant since it is your last name. I do know that a branch of the Virginia Easleys is intermarried with my Wade line in the late 1700's. Seems to me that there has been at least one published genealogy on the family. You would be able to find that lead through other Easley researchers. edit- if it turns out that your line works back to Chloe Wade Easley, please be sure to drop me a note. I have tons on her family (Edward Wade/ Mary Clements)
Nationality of Last Name?
On ancestry.com the census shows that a majority of Onwillers were found in Ohio-Kansas area which means your ancestors must have immigrated between the 17th and 19th centuries in search of land when the frontier was advertised. The most likely occurrence is that you are in fact Irish, seeing as the largest number of immigrants during this period were Irish due to the potato famine and high taxes in Ireland. There is also a chance that your name is such a rarity because it may have been changed when your ancestors arrived in this country, perhaps miswritten on an immigration for (which was common).

What is a race and what is nationality?
Race is determined by the origin of your bloodline. (Caucasian) Nationality is your place of birth or residence. (French) Ethnicity is sort of like your nationality and race combined (Caribbean British, African British, other Black British).
What is my nationality? Help!?
If James Lee was Canadian and Doneta Kay was Chinese, you'd be Eurasian. If James was a Norwegian and his wife was Nigerian, you'd be what they used to call "Mulatto" and is now "biracial". Your nationality is American, unless the Brandts were visiting from Scotland and you passed up the chance to claim American citizenship when you turned 21. What you can do to trace your heritage, if you are interested and have the time (100 - 300 hours, spread out over as many evenings as you want) is go to a Family History Center, which will be a small room in an LDS church, and ask the friendly volunteers how to start. They love to help and they don't try to convert you. Here is something: Brandt Name Meaning and History topographic name for someone who lived in an area that had been cleared by fire, Middle High German brant (from brennen ‘to burn’). Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4 You either didn't know your mother's maiden name or didn't realize it would help. She could be anything from Albanian to Zulu for all we know. You are half of whatever she is, and half of what your dad is. He probably has some German in him, but if his German ancestors came over in 1646 or 1946 is hard to tell from a surname.
What is the nationality of Wilson?
Mostly English, unless African-American or Chinese. (See below). The Pennsylvania "Dutch" were mostly "Deutch", or German. A PD woman would marry an Englishman if he was a Protestant. Lots of mine did. Below: Every time I answer a "Surname Origin?" question, I think of the joke: Man sees a sign, "Olaf Olafson, Chinese Restaurant". He goes in, orders a plate of chow mein, asks the Chinese gentleman behind the counter who is Olaf. Chinese gentleman says, "Me! There I was at Ellis Island. The man in front of me was a Swede, six foot four, broad shoulders, red beard. They ask him 'Name?' he says 'Olaf Olafson', in a voice that makes the pens rattle in their holders. Off he goes to seek his fortune. They ask me 'Name?', I say 'Sam Ting', and here I am." [Sam Ting = Same Thing] Seriously, you should have 16 surnames among your great great grandparents, unless you double up on Smith, Johnson, Miller or Jones or someone married a cousin. If you are in the USA and trace your family tree, you might find an immigrant who came through Ellis Island yearning to be free, a bootlegger, a flapper, a great uncle who died in the muddy trenches of France in 1917. You may find someone who marched off to fight in the Civil War (Maybe two, one wearing blue, one wearing grey). You may find a German who became Pennsylvania "Dutch", a Huguenot, an Irish Potato Famine immigrant. You might find someone who married at 18 and supported his family with musket, plow and axe in the howling wilderness we now call Ohio. In the UK your chances of finding a homesteader are less, but your chances of finding that great uncle who served in WWI are better. In Australia you may find someone who got a free ride to a new home, courtesy of the benevolent Government and HM Prison ship "Hope". Your grandfather with that surname may have married a Scot, a Sioux, a Swede. HIS father, a stolid, dull protestant, may have married an Italian with flashing dark eyes, the first woman on the block to serve red wine in jelly glasses and use garlic in her stew. You'll never know if this is the only question you ask.

Each has a spectrum of meanings that partly overlap and partly diverge.Nationality has a formal or legal meaning, citizenship of a state (in the international, not the US, sense). Citizen of Canada, nationality Canadian; citizen of France, nationality French.It is sometimes used more loosely to refer to a persons “ethnicity” or cultural identity, although quite what that means is itself open to debate. But, for instance, a UK citizen (born or naturalised) might identify as French or Indian or Jamaican because that is where their forebears came from. Many US citizens identify as
