Can you guess?
It’s a big country, though…
My ancestors are from far away (England and likely one smidgen from Ireland).  My children have roots in NAmerica back to 1640 in Massachusetts and in the late 1700’s several began the trek northward to Quebec, and others arrived in Canada from the British Isles.  As far as we can tell all their ancestors were from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
OH is a real mix - England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, and probably Germany.  Some colonial US settlers (New Amsterdam), then to Canada as Loyalists, then back to the US, then back to Canada.  And one of this generation is back in the British Isles!

I live in God's Own Country, but not in the same one as Wexflyer :)
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

What did I start  ;D ;D ;D !!!!
Hope you have all had some fun with the post. After all it is called "The Lighter Side" I have.
I'm off to the land of my birth for a long weekend.  I might buy some leeks, maybe a love spoon but if I'm really lucky I might see a dragon. 
Yes, far too easy that one.
Have a great weekend all you lovely Rootchatters.

Well it has been interesting, none of us can be tracked so it didn't matter who knows, most didn't use their rightful names anyway,  we are all spread for and wide
