Problem is - does where you currently live bear any resemblance to your ancestral research?

I live in Tamworth, Staffordshire.  I was born in Chester and spent my childhood in Cheshire BUT both my parents and their ancestors were from The West Riding.  I married a Londoner, moved to London and had our daughter there.  Then moved to Cheshire, then Kent and now Staffordshire!   :-\ :-\ :o

I must be honest, not that it really matters  but it does cross my mind when weather is mentioned where that RC  comes from, although I do check, not all show it.

I am not ancestrally connected to where I live now, but geography definitely plays a part. I am originally from Newcastle, Australia which had a lot of migration from Northumberland and County Durham.

Not in the least BB, but then most Australians would say the same.  My first ancestors to arrive here were from Keynsham, Somerset, next were from Anglesey and Denbighshire , Wales, then one from Cornwall and others from Devon and Kent.  Just to add to the confusion one from America or Canada. 
I was born in Mildura, which is on the Victoria, NSW border and very close to the South Australia border.  We moved to SA when I was a child, but came back to Victoria and there I’ve stayed.  I have no plans to move again, it’s too stressful.

My dad was born in Essex, and he had a Suffolk born grandfather, Oxford grandmother who both when young chose Essex as their homes one via London and Sussex. His other 2 grandparents were born in Essex, but out of the Suffolk and Oxon side, he felt more at home with the Suffolk side. I guess because Suffolk was in his remit, being next door to Essex. I can see how he felt as he probably did not know Oxfordshire very well and did not feel a sense of belonging there like he did in Suffolk.

I feel more at home with ancestors from East Anglia than I do Sussex, Durham, west country or Berkshire as I hardly know those areas. But i do feel a strong affinity to my Oxford city ancestors.
