how i said: "you have to look the families orgin!"

Yes, you did.  :)

But then the various branches of a family may spread to have a multitude of different nationalities?

Remember the quote from the Duke of Wellington?
He was born in Dublin, and in a retort to being called Irish he (allegedly!) said:

Being born in a stable does not make one a horse.



And never forget that Cliff Richards was born in India - does that make him Indian?! ;D ;D
