Mainly England, but some research in France (Hugenots) and Scotland. My Y chromosome DNA shows Viking descent so that should mean I have connections in Northern France, Benelux, North Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Istanbul and Sicily.

If I had been asked a month ago, I would have said Ireland, Ireland and Ireland.

However, this Irish-American in Arizona recently discovered that a gg grandfather was almost certainly an Ulster Scot! So now I have to add Scotland to the list.

Reilly, snap in reverse!   I had one Ulster Scot line, but the others were Scottish with a few English exceptions - or so I thought.     I've now discovered that apercentage of my apparently 100% Scots are actually Irish in origin.  Good luck with yours, because the records for Scotland are so so much easier to work on that the Irish brickwalls I'm facing now!

England at the moment, but with a name like Cunningham I imagine it will go Scottish/Irish in origin.

Hi,
I would have liked England and Wales to be seperate in the poll but anyway I am researching Wales - Glamorgan, Brecon, Ceredigion,Meirioneth, Montgomery so far I have only one ancestor out of Wales and he came from Scotland. I'll be happy when I've gone back to the Celtic Tribes !!

Hi
Just out of interest, I live just a few miles from Llandewi Brefi.

My Welsh ancestors are solidly Llandyssul, and  Lampeter..Davies and Jones and  Llansawel  and Llanwenog, Jenkins and Davies, Evans and Jones.
