Re: Where do you come from?

Not really exotic, but I was born in Tokyo and our family is from Denmark.

My uncle has traced our family back to year 1100 and my grandmother is direct descendant from Von Barner family.

There is a private castle in Denmark that's still in the family. Complete with moat all the way around.

No kidding.

I came from Ma's 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Erm, England. Where I still am, incidentally. No, not very exotic as someone said - well we haven't got waving Palm trees, white sandy beaches, and clear blue, warm seas - however, I suppose it's a bit like the Curate's egg - good in parts. 8.15 am here, and a nice sunny morning. If we're lucky, it might last all day.

i wonder about that . does the curate prefer the white to the yolk or was the egg only half cooked ?

Let's see. Mongrel mix really

My first Aussie ancestor came in chains in 1825 from Scotland -

age 17 - 7 years transportation. Landed Sydney

Another lot came from England 1853, arrived Melbourne

One of this lot married a chinese guy who came for the gold rush

in Victoria, arriving also in 1853 coincidentally.

We've been in Victoria since then.

I married an Aussie born Polish/German so it's more mixed

for my daughter and grandkids

I go back to the early 1800's in Australia, before that English/Irish/Scottish.

nothing very exciting to report here. my ancestors were Scottish and Welsh. I was born here as were my parents.

OH's family is more interesting than mine, one oif his made this>>>>>>

Hotchpotch like many Australians with ancestors arriving from the late 1700s to the early 1800s. Some in chains, some not. If you have Rose, Green or Yates ancestors (and others I can't remember) we are probably rellies. 😄

Traced back to King John as well and as he is known as 'the father of England' because so many sprung from him, illegitimately as well as legitimately, we are probably related there too.
