I was only involved in England, in particular two counties which made life easier. Now, all of a sudden, its expanded to Scotland,Wales and Ireland. All due to one branch of the tree.

Hi, mine starts in Australia, then mainly back to England. There are some ancestors from Ireland and Scotland.  Right now, I am doing so many branches, I am bl**dy confused!

For me, the options aren't exactly that applicable. For me, it's:
- Czech Republic
- Germany
- Italy
- Ireland
- England (but only one branch, out in Cheshire)
I do wonder why Genealogy is so disproportionately done in the UK than anywhere else in the world. Could it have something to do with the royals? Who knows?
Oh, and I am American, although i've traced all branches but one to exact locations in Europe and am working from there...
Hello Copernicus.
Although living in Europe, (UK at the moment) I am fortunate in having a close group of family related friends and we share our information re our ancestors which are From UK, France, Germany,& mainly Europe. many of the earlier ones however did emmigrate to the USA, Australia,Ireland, and other countries.. The war years from WW1 & WW2 also helped us with deaths of our soldiers, and in some cases like myself eventually I married a German later after hostilities. Earlier to that later I was seconded from my Regiment to help CCG (Control Commision Germany ) on the interpreter pool when they were recovering from the exstensive damage to the various parts of Germany.
On our French side we have gone back to the 1600's. their later decendents French side some of which came to England from Rouen one year before the French Revolution and formed a Dye Works in Blackley Manchester England, the area in which I was born.in the mid 1920's.
In closing as there is far more to relate here, without boring details, We have at all times tried to avoid "here say" from very early family relatives, and evens some archivists, and early newspapers, where they enhanced details adding false information....not unlike they do today...to enhance their readership. Certificates are essential, and probate registers, and re Ireland Church Registers.
Best wishes to all

Most of my research has been done in Scotland. I have just started on my 'English' Grandmother who was from Durham area and Leeds. I am also trying to research my Gt Grandfather who went to the Gold Coast in Africa, He married there again and died there so I am trying to get the relevant documentation , although I am not sure how to do this.....and will see where this takes me...lol

I'm pretty new to this.. so i'm looking mostly at the England specifically Macclesfield area.in Cheshire.. from mid 1800's.. but I'm also doing a body hunt down in heamoor penzance area.. for my great granparents who were buried there. (But with not much success so far.)
Have so far had only limited access to census forms as.. nearly everywhere requires you to join.. to have a closer look.. and unfortunately i'm married to a very nice dinosaur who doesn't believe in using plastic.. which really limits my searches.. 
I know there are roots in Ireland.. and also family during my grandparents time that emigrated to Canada... and i think also Australia.. but it makes sense to look closer to home for now.
Most of what i know has come from familly members still alive... and occasionally getting lucky...
