Primarily England, but with the occasional dabble into Ireland and Scotland, and a hefty dose of Italian from my Dad's side.

Just a shame the Italians weren't that great at keeping records :(

Great subject. My interests are almost all in Scotland with a little bit of Australia and Canada thrown in. When that's all sorted out, if ever, it will be time to find ancestors of South African son in law with German family from Namibia, and nearly forgot, adopted !

My direct heritage is the Netherlands and I am not that sure that any of my ancestors emigrated to the USA.  However there is so much Dutch/US link it is hard to isolate it.  Then again my wife is American so we are researching there too.  Then there is my Step Father's family who originate in Ireland (and probably Scotland earlier).  Living in Australia also means we are researching here too.  We get to research on 3 continents and since all of our ancestors appeared to be fine breeders, there is much to do!

Currently trying to determine whether a ancestor was born in Cape Verde or not.  It's pretty much mission impossible without actually visiting the place

England (various counties!)
Scotland
Ireland
 and the latest one is Germany 1650s. I'd estimate that to be 50% reliable though.

No Welsh so far? But I only have some 300 so far so there is plenty of room left.

So the main one is English. Cannot pick a second at this stage.

I'm mainly researching England and Scotland......at this stage. Although most of them seemed to have ended up in Australia at some stage so even more confusing :D
Borlands from Scotland, Hiltons from England & Platts from England at this stage. Have others to look for as well at some stage :)

Hi, first time on here.  Not really sure what I am suppose to do.  I started about a year ago and got totally hooked.  My research for my side is Ireland and England.  My hubbies is German, Finnish, Swedish, New England, USA.  The German and English where the easiest.  I am pretty much stuck on the Swedish and Finnish.  I am having all sorts of problems with my side.  Mostly from Dublin City.  I am in the process of sending inquiries to the GRO for birth and marriage certs.  Hopefully I can move on.  So there you have it.  Hope it's interesting reading for some one. I describe Ancestry to people as being like a big jigsaw puzzle.  You just have to keep looking for that one piece that brings 3 or 4 pieces together and then the picture starts to come to life.  :) :) :)

As far back as I have been in my direct line, we are all Scots - not a single other nationality.  Having said that, we cover almost every county north of Edinburgh/Glasgow as we were a peripatetic bunch.

Going sideways, my ancestors were typical Scots in that I have emigrants to England, Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand, with quite a few who worked in other places around the world, although they came home eventually.
