To be realllllllly nosey....

[JessKM]

From the general chat its obvious theres a whole wealth of countries and cultures on MN, including mixed/blended families.....Where are you guys all from, I do wonder how many different countries there is all together.

I'll go....

Im was born in Hawaii, to mixed race parents....Puerto Rican/Samoan.

DH is Tahitian descent, born in London.

I'm Estonian, husband is English. Living in England, probably for the foreseeable future as he just can't get to grips with the Estonian language.

English with a bit of Irish , dp is Irish , live in the midlands

Paternal grandparents English and Irish/Scottish
Maternal grandparents Australian with Irish, German and Barbadian roots!

Not sure what that makes me?

I'm English - although really 7/8 English & 1/8 Welsh (great-grandfather) and my father was born in Japan (although to English parents).

DH is "English to the core" - in fact his ancestors can't be traced any further afield than Birmingham at all.

DH is Spanish and I am English. We live in London.

I'm Irish living in England, and the only remotely exotic thing in my family tree is a sliver of Jewish step ancestry. My husband is half English, half Welsh, but identifies as Welsh, despite having grown up in England. Being good Celts we've agreed that the unborn DC can support either Wales or Ireland but not England .

"My gran was Welsh and had very dark/olive skin, as does my mum - people often ask if she's Greek or Italian - she's never needed suncream (wish I could say the same). What's that about then?"

I don't think thats actually unusual in parts of Wales. A fair number of Welsh people seem to have quite a dark colouring. Which reminds me of a hilarious Louis Theroux programme where he met a bunch of US black supremacists who were convinced that Tom Jones was actually black.

Dad is from Sri Lanka, very mixed with sinhalese and european (dutch, irish, portuguese).

Mum is english her grandparents were german jews (though they became CofE and it was always denied they were jewish but they didn't change their very jewish name)

I'm Hungarian, OH is Polish.

Born in England. Mum from South Africa but emigrated to the Uk aged 7 and dad from Newcastle. Am as white as you can be without glowing in the dark.

Lived in India for 7 years and have lived in Beijing for 7 too.

I'm 0.75 English, 0.25 Scottish, born in Scotland.
DH is 0.5 Czech, 0.5 Yugoslavian (he isn't sure which part of the former Yugoslavia his GPs came from, as it was during the war, which they refused to talk about). born in Czech Rep.

DS is therefore full of hybrid vigour :o

im English one side but with German ancestory other side im Irish welsh .

My dc well ds1 and ds2 are the above plus half sardian

I'm half Scottish, half South African, born in Scotland. OH is half Irish, half Kiwi, but born in Australlia. DD will not be playing football for anyone, but OH has her lined up as a future Black Fern (women's NZ rugby team).....

Born in england to German father and English mother. I married a Yorkshire man so according to xh the children are half Yorkshire and half English!

Welsh, born in Wales to Welsh family, one exception being a French great-great grandfather. OH half Scottish half English born in Scotland. DS born in Scotland so Scottish.

I'm English, both parents English, all grandparents English (and from the south coast). DH all English too, although he does have some Scots ancestry a bit further back. Boring, eh?

100% Irish - living in Dublin all of my life = Very boring

Im Welsh. born to Welsh parents
DH is Welsh, born to Welsh parents
Both DCs are Welsh
All Great parents are Welsh as well

Hmm- see a theme developing?

Great GRAND parents
LOL

Mum is English ad Welsh with a bit of German and Dad is Mexican.

I have English, Jewish and Romaney blood in me. DH is english and the dcs are the same as me but with more English blood.

1/4 Russian, 1/4 English, 1/8 Irish, 1/8 German, 1/8 Portugese, 1/8 Spanish. And very, very English to boot. My mother and I were born in the UK, as was my maternal grandmother; my father was born in Germany and came to England with Kinder Transport in WWII. Add DH into the mix and you get: 6/8 English (1/4 of that traceable back to Anglo Saxon), 1/8 French and 1/8 Welsh.

Its amazing!!! wow!! theres such a fascinating mix of people!

Bella - Enjoy your holiday ....Hawaii is such a beautiful place with beautiful people!

Do you guys ever wonder how people on opposite far flung sides of the world met all those years ago? its so cool!

I was born in England but i have one grandparent each Irish, English, Scottish or Welsh. I could have plated for any of the home nations if picked

DP is Dutch

The DC's father is English all the way

I'm English, M&D all English from what I know.
