Hi everyone

Mainly England on my fathers side and Scotland in Lanarkshire on my mothers side, though with smith and jones (Shropshire) in the line I will probably be going back to Wales.  Have various relatives in Baltimore, Canada and Oz and NZ so a bit far flung.

Cheers

If we restrict it to my direct ancestors, I've got England (and possibly Wales), Ireland, Scotland, Canada, USA, and Angola.  Adding on my husband's direct ancestors brings in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the Bahamas.  Peripheral connections are all over the map, including places like Tunisia, the Canary Islands, and Truk Micronesia.

My research seems to be stuck in Sussex, so to have one line in Lincolnshire and then to find a line in Cork, Ireland is quite exciting.

Hi All

I used to have my head buried in the sand and stubbornly refused to believe that my family came from anywhere else but NSW Australia..... :-[

Boy have I been set straight  :D

Not only have I found relleies in NSW but VIC. & Qld. and would you believe England,Ireland,Scotland and Germany(I think Fuggar is German)   :o    ;D

From Lancashire and Cambridgeshire to Inverness and Limerick to Parramatta and Mudgee and back to Yorkshire...............and I'm loving every minute of it............. ;D ;D

regards     Arnie

Hi!

What an interesting topic. I haven't gone to the start but wondere if anyone plans to analyse the replies as 2 choices on the poll seems a bit limiting given Ireland and Scotland come close  second through the pages I've skimmed.

For my twopenneth

England - Father Derbyshire and W Yorkshire
Ireland - Mother Co Leitrim

Ex wife - the interesting bit - Much of S England, Argentina & Uruguay, Latvia, S Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

The world's my oyster or something!

My mother's side is pure English - the later generations being from London, and the earlier ones being from virtually all over the country!
My father's side is Irish - Wexford, to be precise, but I haven't been able to get any further back than my grandparents, so there may be some exotic heritage there (although judging by my complexion, I doubt it!).
