Not sure if hair and eye colour are indicators but if so if I went far back enough I guess it'd be Scandinavia.

But I'm positive it's not as simple as that being from the UK, I probably have Saxon/Roman/German/Norman (technically Scandinavian again) blood in me.

Probably a few others too.

My family as far back as we've been able to find out were all born in the UK or Eire.

So I was interested in seeing if people knew how there family came to the Uk, America or Australia. I know part of the story for my Mums and Dads side.

My Mums Great Grandad was a half Jewish/half gypsy who lived in the poor neighbourhoods of London and his Jewish father was off fighting in the War. I'm not sure about now, but when he lived in the London because of he was half jewish/half gypsy he was picked on from a young age and was fighting people left right and centre who targeted him because of his race. He got into so many fights that they put him into a Boys school, which really just acted as a jail for boys. He spent 3 years in there until he was 15 when his mother was able to bail him out of prison. She then sent him down too the docks to catch a boat too Canada too family he had there. But instead jumped on a merchant ship he got work one and travel'd the world on it for a few years. Until he arrived at the docks in Fremantle. Which is how that side of the family came too Australia.

Now my other Great Grandad lost his mother when he was young and had an evil step mother. He lived in some part of England but I think he was originally Welsh and his father worked on the trains. Anyway I think his father got terribly ill and died. So at the age of 7 he ran away from home with his sister. From what I recall him and his sister went around the country side for a while until he got picked up by authorities once he got too London. He was then sent out too a boys farm in Australia which he worked on till he was about 15 and thats how that side of the family came too Australia.

Both my Great Grandad's had amazing lifes and I even got to know one of them. He wrote out his memoirs and many people said he should of turned it into a book. I personally can't wait too get my hands on his memoirs so I can read about all the stories he told me about his life.
