Born in Yorkshire, then mostly raised in Cheshire. Fathers clan are from Ireland, Mothers clan are from The Potteries. Although my kids are English, their mother is a sweaty sock and they have good links to the East coast of Scotland. :P

English to be more specific northern and to be more specific still a yorkshire man all though i think of my flag and the union jack :good: and even with all that my dad is from yorkshire and his parents from lancashire and hull then on my mum's side she was born in manchester, lived there, Uganda, Wales, the lakes then York. Her parents are yorkshire and wigan so their is enough yorkshire in me ;)

Mother was American born of two Jocks. Father's lot all London English but with a touch of Spanish and the merest hint of German.

 

Me, ENGLISH through & through! Feel some affinity with Spanish, little with Yanks, absolutely none with Germans & even less with Jocks.

 

 

And anybody north of the M27 is a northener! ;)

God Knows what I am - see if you can work it out !

 

My Mum was from Dorset, of Cornish descent, but my blood group shows there is a sneaky Basque Spaniard (officially denied by the family, but proof positive) in there somewhere about 200 years ago :yes::good: .

 

My Dad was a Mancunian of 4th generation Scottish descent :lol: , and i was born in Germany while my Dad was posted there with the RAF.

 

Just to confuse things, because I was not born in a British military hospital, I technically was partially German :hmm: and had to be naturalised as British (Oooh - Naasty !!) ;)

 

I am therefore officially 100% British by parentage and descent, whilst at the same time an ex-German citizen (Only for four hours apparently, but still official. :no:

 

All guesses on a postcard to the British Embassy in Cologne.

 

(Maybe I should change my name to Manuel Fritz Jock McWurzel? )

 

I've got a little of that spanish stuff in me too from my mum side, though I have the impression it might just be plain romany Gypsy, and I've also got Hugenot blood from soon after the glorious revolution.

 

It would be fascinating to find out the individual stories that are behind those abnormailities...

I am O Rh D-ve blood type, which the blood donor service assures me occurs only naturally in the Basque area of Spain and other areas in the world where Basques have settled and #### :yes: with the Natives, one of which is the northern area of Cornwall, where there are some areas where Basque sailors settled. We know the blood group has been in the family for a long time, so which one of my lady ancestors was a bit indiscreet? I'd love to know, but no-one's tellin'.
