How would I find out my ethnicity under these circumstances: My father was adopted and he has no intentions of seeking out his birth parents. He has no idea of his ethnicity, so my lineage on my father's side is empty. Do I go to his parents and ask for his adoptive company? Who do I approach to figure out such a thing.

And also, if I were to post a picture of myself could my features be able to roughly identify my ethnicity?

My father "says," and vaguely, that we're southern European and Native American.

Any thoughts?
