Very English, of course, since it’s entirely typical.
First distinctive / identifiable ancestor having “emigrated” to the islands in 1066, decided to stay and married a local. I think there was something about a nice plot of land in Cornwall, payment for services rendered, or such.
Of course, then, there’s my great grandmothers, who are a very English Danish, Dutch and Italian Maltese, oh and Romani.
FFS, “genetic purity” winds me up.
Oh, so you’re pure English? Is that Briton, Saxon, Danish, Norse, or French English? Or are you just Welsh?
