Notes to answerer

Asker: Хороший вариант

2 hrs confidence:

Ты чьих будешь? Whose kin are you?

Explanation:
К сожалению, не очень благозвучно. Добавляю этот вариант только ради смысловой точности. Исходный вопрос по смыслу направлен от старшего к незнакомому младшему, или от группы к незнакомому одиночке: из какого ты рода, племени или места?

Примеры употребления в английском см. по ссылкам.
