+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted February 14, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted February 14, 2006 Technically, isn't pretty much everyone of "Immigrant Descent" if you go back far enough? I mean, I'm 100% English (NOT European) and yet my name is of Saxon origin, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesmithg Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 My grandmothers family came from Italy to England in the 19th century, my grandad from N.I. in the 20th, thats my fathers side. My mothers side her father French Canadian, her mother Welsh. My time line can be traced back thousands of years around England, Wales and Cornwall, so I am not an immigrant, my grandmothers and grand fathers are 18th century and 19th century migrants. I am English to the bone. I am English by birth, choice, culture and heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurë Veteran Posted February 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yup, but pre 1970. We all are in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunamonkey Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yup, but pre 1970. We all are in the UK! that's what I was thinking, What are we Saxon or Norman or Roman or *gasp* French? I've been told I got a Roman nose. That means big nose right? How sweet. :p edit : actually I just looked up Roman nose. I haven't got one. I got a straight nose actually. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos Veteran Posted February 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2006 Technically, isn't pretty much everyone of "Immigrant Descent" if you go back far enough? I mean, I'm 100% English (NOT European) and yet my name is of Saxon origin, so... Yeah, my mothers side of the family came over to ireland from Denmark in the 12th century, but i think it's safe to say i'm 100% Irish. /k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symal Taneous Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Actually, I'm pretty much a mixed bag of ancestry. My great-grandmother on my mom's side is Iris (my mother's mother's mother), my great-grandfather on my mom's side is French (my mother's father's father). My Mom's Dad's Mom is Native American and so is my Mom's Mom's Mom. On my father's side, it's pretty much the same thing, except there is a bit of german, scot and british in there too. And all my ancesters moved from different parts of the world to Canada, except those that were native-americans or "First Nations" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
