This is not too easy to answer: I'm guessing from most people's answers that they are counting where an ancestor is born, rather than real ethnicity. On that basis then, given that my direct line goes back over seven hundred years, here's a potted history, going back in time, male first column:

(Me, my wife)
(Irish mother born in Liverpool, capital of Ireland )


(Born in the States, considered Irish)




(Born in France, but considered Irish)
"
"

... Before 1758, when we abandoned Ireland for safety in France, mainly with the odd useful marriage to and one around 1380.

Father's side -




The question reflecting all of this is: 'How the hell did all those people end up in the same place?'

Also, my national feeling is not particularly strong, with so many natonalities around in my family tree.

My mother's family can be traced back to 16th century Westphalia, Germany
My father's surname apparently is ultimately derived from Norway
