Heritage
 
What's your heritage?

I'm just English I think, quite boring. I know I have a little bit of Irish in me but that's quite a few generations back.

Scottish and English on account of my parents. Haven't really traced back or anything and I probably never will. My last name is Campbell which is a Scottish clan.

Probably have Italian ancestry too on account of my tanned skin and big nose. :hugesmile:

Vanessa 14-11-2013 08:12 AM

Italian. :hugesmile:

I'm half Scottish and half English, but if I go right Back I know both sides of my family originally came from France :-) my uncle is really into family trees so I'm lucky to have seen them go back for centuries.

You will probably be more than just English I'd imagine :-)

My response on forms is usually: "White Other".

Just Irish as far as I know, both my parents surnames are very Irish. My married name is Scottish though

Kizzy 14-11-2013 09:29 AM

Irish and Welsh as far as I know for sure.

smudgie 14-11-2013 09:32 AM

English parents. Irish from way back and I think we have some oriental genes somewhere along the one.

Josy 14-11-2013 10:37 AM

Scottish, Irish and English

mizzy25 14-11-2013 10:39 AM

French and Australian (essentially British)

Lee. 14-11-2013 10:40 AM

You should look into it if your interested, I'd imagine it's quite hard though, like I said I'm lucky that a lot the information has been found already. It's really I interesting I have some funny ancestors, there's prostitutes, and horse thieves and a man who had a castle and spent all his money entertaining a king lol.

Part Irish though only been there once and never see my Irish family so it doesnt mean much to me, havr some Manx heritage on my Dads side too, he was born/grew up there and my Grandma still lives over there

Princess 14-11-2013 01:22 PM

My dad's is all Irish. My mum's mum is Irish and her dad is from Hong Kong and his parents were half Chinese and half Swedish and half Chinese and half German. Which makes me 3/4 Irish, an eighth Chinese, a sixteenth German and a sixteenth Swedish. My mum was born in London too and says she's English sometimes but she really counts her as Irish.
