One set of Grandparents were from Ireland, then buggered off to Glasgow to set up home, which as chance would have it is where my Dad is from. The other set of Grandparents were English, but went and set up home in Shetland, which is were my Mum is from (but brought up in Manchester). There you have my recent family history in a nutshell.

english on both sides as far back as i know off. (at least 4 generations) but considering my name i think a few of my ancestors were welsh.

 

Theres also probably a little bit of irish in there too, 4 generations back, there are alot of ancestors!

 

its amazing really, 2*2*2*2 = 16 go back a little further and theres probably enough ancestors to mean that i come from loads of places.

Im English myself and look english with my pale white skin which gets burnt when there is a slight bit of sun.

 

as far as i can trace back all my family are English. Probably if i could keep going back further i would end up finding some other blood in there somewhere i guess.

I was born in England (Aston, tbe), my parents are English but there is Scottish blood in my mom's side as my Grandma is from Greenock. On my mom's dad's side, there is French blood.

On my dad's side, there is Irish blood but from where I don't know, but I think my dad has Irish blood, about 1/10. And there has to be Welsh blood because my surname 'Richards', is Welsh.

Plus I have ancestors who settled in England all the way from the Netherlands. So (In order, from most to least)

 

English

Scottish

Welsh

Irish

French

Dutch (or Netherlandic)

 

Jaysus, I could be distantly related to someone here.

All Belgian on one side (well not sure, i guess at least 4 generations are) and a little touch of spanish mixed with Belgian germs on the other side make up my (quite delicious) blood. Although the amount of spanishness in me is neglectable, i do, according to some people, have a southern look. Italian they said.

You can't have an ethnical background as Australian unless you are a native australian, because all white Australians are Europeans.

 

The would be like saying you can't claim to be americain as only the native americains can, as the rest are all imigrants, mostly irish due to the potato phanom.

I'm lucky in that I get to go to Valhalla. I'm not sure if I can get a on name alone though, 'cause my Norwegian side comes from Bolton and has done for about seven centuries. Grimshaw means Devil's Dell, which I think is cool.

If I get rejected from Valhalla I get to use the back up plan of retiring to the Great Big Highland in the sky, where the ale flows freely.

I'd say that to be ethnically "Australian" would be to be Maori (sp?).

 

Edit: I meant Aboriginee, maybe it is Maori, or is that New Zealand?
