What Country is your research ?

[KentishChris]

Mines all England at the moment!

Everyone so far on my mum's side is from Southern England.
And the majority of my dad's side is from Northern England.

Gone back to the 1850's (on average), but am hoping for someone to pop up who's from somewhere else

Dave- this topic is a Poll asking "What Country is your research ?"
Chris has (correctly) answered the topic but was not sending you a message about any particular surnames.
You can add your surnames to the Surname Interest lists (click Surnames button at top of board) if you haven't done so already.

Hi,

I am researching my family( Cox) that came from England...Cornwall district. I am a bit lucky as I have found family in England that I have connected with and she is going to all the places that I would love to go lol and searching graveyards, churches etc.

I have also  found out that all is not what it seems as with my mom's family she was always told her family came from Holland but that was not the case..straight from Germany (her dad's mom Blatzheim)

Having a blast digging up the past..there is lots to learn for sure

England, but living in Scotland I have an interest in my local area...

If I had been asked a month ago, I would have said Ireland, Ireland and Ireland.

However, this Irish-American in Arizona recently discovered that a gg grandfather was almost certainly an Ulster Scot! So now I have to add Scotland to the list.

My own line on my father's side is well installed in West Yorkshire and I'm a definite south Londoner on my mothers side drifting off towards travelers, hawkers, and the ubiquitous agricultural worker. 

Until very recently I knew virtually nothing about my side of the family whereas my wife's Welsh Italian side was well remembered through marriages kept enclosed through religion and those easily tracked Italian names. Some were made fun of in the nicest possible way but by gosh, like other immigrant groups they knew and where proud of where they came from!

Now of course I have overtaken her with a tree that is growing at a real rate of knots thanks to all those records that were kept and available on line. Her Italian side is going to prove far more difficult of course and we are fast approaching the proverbial brick wall. Is there an Italian version of say Ancestry.com and do records in Italy follow the same path? We have yet to find out.

What the wife lacks in further information though is more than made up for the number of family photographs she has as I have virtually zero.

Definitely a mixed breed: American  - who seem to have originated in Ireland ; English via USA/ NZ/ Oz ; a touch of Scottish and this last week, someone has thrown in a possible VERY distant connection to Wales. Still digging though, so who knows what / who else may turn up!!
