I've recently started doing some major research on Ireland. In the past I've gained a lot of info on ancestors in the United States, but have always brick-walled trying to find info before they crossed the pond. I'm finally finding information one piece at a time.

   In all honesty I had to select 'England' and 'Scotland', though I've often been drawn to countries that have had nothing to do with my lot, but have come up through helping others.    One such country is Schlesien - German Poland in the past, and even Kashubia which I had never heard of before some searches.    This area of central Europe keeps popping up repeatedly.    Perhaps it is my ydna R1a calling out to me?

Mainly Scotland, but Great, Great Grandfather was born in Danzig, Prussia around 1823.  Despite my best efforts can find absolutely no information about his birth, nor anything about his parents or other family members.  Very frustrating!

So far all my research is in England, in Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire! I would love someone in an exotic location, perhaps one day!
