I'm a pure blood french canadian... but if we go back to medieval times i'm a mix of french and english... for most of the part... If my familly tree is accurate i'm somehow blood related to King Richard Lion Harth...
My name originates from the Normadic Invasion of 1066 were a Lord took control of land close to my current location listed in the Doomsday book. My family has since lost its stature due to gambling in the 1400's but we still remain close to our previous holdings. Conclusively I am Anglo-Normadic as far as I know.
Well my fathers family is dutch, nothing special on their side. But my mothers side is German, of the upper class. Or at least where until they lost everything in the war. But it is interesting to see all the stuff they used to own. All the mansions, and the castle, and the paint factory.
Half Irish and the other half is Russian nobility meaning I have French, German, Georgian,(ect) in me but basically half russian half irish all american.
English....the English all come from Germany France and The Netherlands.
Personally I think it doeesn't matter where you come from, what matters is how you treat people. OT I'm Cymry, if I was born during the middle ages...I'd probably lead a rebellion against England and reclaim Britain for the true britsh and teach all those delightful racists a lesson.
English going back to about 1600 hundred on both sides. Family's hung around the Welsh border most of that time, so probably some borderline Welsh. A medical contracture in my grandmother means one of her ancestors either had sex with or got raped by a Viking, so some scandinavian also.
Basically centuries of broadly anglo-saxons who never gave a toss about religion. I was proud to find that out after I realised for myself that I'm an atheist.
I am descended from the Irish Broderick clan (ironically my surname is Broderick.....) there bis actually a bar in the middle of Ireland called "The Broderick Bar". Me and my family got free drinks cause we showed them our passports
We also have a picture of the bar for those who don't believe us.
I am unsure whether I am related to the actor Matthew Broderick....
If so I want some money when he dies!
French/English although my ancestry is mostly from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. I am even descended from Bonnie Prince Charlie of Scotland =) But yeah my family on my Dad's side has been British since the Celts.
