So where are you from?

[3sillydogs]

I was born here in South Africa as were my parents. I am a mix of Russian Jewish ancestors, who moved to Wales in the 1880's, which is where my paternal grandfather was born before coming here. Early Dutch settlers and 1820 Settlers are there in the mix as well.  I was born in Johannesburg but moved to Durban at 17 which is where I am today.

Ahem - excuse me, I think that would be Oxonian

Lol yes. Seems my Oxonian lot liked Essex as two of them moved to Essex via Lambeth in London and Bexhill in Sussex respectively. I went to Oxford and Bletchingdon a few months ago and you get a much clearer picture of your ancestors lives when you visit where they live.

I never felt much affinity with my hometown, even though I spent my entire childhood there, and so did my parents. But only one grandparent was born anywhere near here, only one great-grandparent,  and nobody prior to that. A large chunk of my family come from Essex, lots from the fens, and the black country,  rural Shropshire and the westcountry also feature. All a ling way from my "native" Sussex.

Oh, and my grandfather was born in Peru (to English parents) so I could compete for Peru in most competitive sports!

Right now, if anyone asks, I pretend I've always lived in Brighton. It's much cooler than admitting I'm from Eastbourne

I'm from Lexington, Massachusetts - birthplace of American liberty.

London ......... a big city ......... specifically Paddington Green where 'pretty Polly Perkins' who was as  as "beautiful as  butterfly and as prahd as a queen" lived.
Whole lineage from London as far as I have traced.

One of my grandfathers was born in Massachusetts, Dedham in Boston!  Howdy!

I still call Australia home.

Its interesting when putting information into your family tree and you put down a place eg Whitechapel London England - yet when people ask me where I was born I say Adelaide- yet its technically Woodville as that is where the hospital is.

I have a polyglot of nationalities. Cornish, Scottish , English Prussian but no Welsh yet.

"Dedham in Boston!"

Dedham is a bit south of Boston, down in Norfolk County
