Nationality 12:55 - Jun 25 with 7371 viewsTreforys_Jack

This is a genuine post not a wind up to get the usual suspects in a never ending cycle of who's right and wrong. I've been doing my family history over the last few months as aside from my parents and 1 grandparent I had no real idea where they all came from. It turns out 3 of my 4 grandparents were born in England. Bit of a surprise to be completely honest. So is it where you are born or the roots of your blood as it were. Legally it's where you're born I know but deep down , I'm not so sure. C'mon Ingerlund lol.
In all seriousness family history is fascinating , I'm back to 1781 on one side and 1848 on the other. Mind boggling and addictive. Anyone else had a go at their ancestry.

Nationality is an entirely meaningless concept governed by a combination of arbitrary lines drawn in a map by people for political convenience and accident of birth. It’s only useful for fostering division and hate. Best not to worry about it.

But there are cultural differences which ties up with nationalaties?

1.Roots chat - a genealogy forum, with unbelievably helpful members.
2.Freebmd
3. Took a months subscription out on Findmypast, about a tenner . Ancestry does a free 2 month trial i think.

It tends to draw you in, you solve one mystery and it opens up another two. Very addictive, can get a bit expensive as you sometimes need to buy certificates to prove what you believe to be true. It gives me a bit of a buzz to see the actual form my relatives filled out in their own handwriting in the 1841 census etc.
