I'm half Norwegian half Irish. Grew up in Norway so consider myself Norwegian but have strong ties to Ireland. My dp is 100% English and our dd was born in London so she's Norwegian, Irish, English. She has two out of the three passports too.

Mother's family is English as far as I know. Father's is Scottish, Welsh and Irish.

Oh, my DP's family is English (Cockney) on one side and Scottish on the other.

I'm English. Grandma (dads side) is Irish. Great grandparents (on mums dads side) are Irish and great great grandparents are Irish and Spanish (mums mums side). I've been told we have some
Jewish ancestry on my mums mums side but not sure whether that comes from the Irish or Spanish.

I am English of Scottish descent,Dh is Irish. We are moving to NZ soon and I am pregnant with DC 4,who will hopefully be a kiwi if all pans out in time!

Born in London to Londoner mother and Italian father. DH is one quarter American the rest English.

Half Scottish, quarter Italian and quarter Chinese

I'm 100% Portuguese (Lisbon)
DH is 100% Scottish (Glasgow)
Our Border-Collie/Black lab is Welsh

Was born in England, Mother was born in England, as was father and his parents. No idea about mother's parents as she was adopted.

Oh, and DS is an 8th Irish, at least.

I am Finnish, born and raised in Finland, with a bit of Swedish from my mum's side. DH is as English as they come.

I'm British and DH is Italian with some Spanish ancestry. We live in Sweden.

Irish (northern) both parents the same and DH the same!!! along with his parents! MIL was a spy in the war so not sure if DH has a couple of other family / siblings across the globe! but my sis lived in San fran in USA and other is London!

Other end of the scale: worked once in secondary school in Dorset. At the time when I was there, school had set of 21 1st cousins, children of 7 siblings all still living within 5 miles of birthplace. Every grandparent of all 21 kids was from the same time. Strange thing was that all 21 were lovely!
