I usually say I'm half-Chinese/half-English (but I prefer half-rice/half-chips 😁) but in truth it's more half-British/Irish, as my Mum got into the genealogy and it turns out our roots on this side are English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh - they came from everywhere...
Dad could never be arsed with that sort of thing, but a couple of years ago my brother and I went to the ancestral village in China, and they had the family tree there, which went back 98 generations to the year 208...BCE!! 🤯 | |||

"I'm an immigrant from the Republic of South Africa. On my Mom's side, I'm descended from the British 1820 Settlers, who settled the Eastern Cape, and immigrants from Australia, who came to the new Union of South Africa right after the Anglo-Boer War in the early 20th Century. They were descended from British immigrants to New South Wales in the 1830s. On my Dad's side, my grandfather was a British soldier who settled in SA before the 1st WW. His family were from Deptford. I met his sister, who turned 100 the year I immigrated to the UK in 2004. My paternal great grandfather was an Irish immigrant to SA, and he married a Portuguese woman, making me ⅛ Portuguese. So I'm an immigrant, descended from immigrants, some of whom emigrated from the place their forbears had immigrated to. It all gets very muddy, very fast. No- one has the right to get snotty about immigrants. We're all human beings, delightful in our diversity; united by our common humanity. And, ultimately, we're all from Africa. 🖤🐵🖤" Africa as the cradle of humanity is slowly being debunked isnt it? I read something fairly recently that suggested that there are actually several "original eve" mitrochonrial dna strands that are being identified that suggest that "humans" have evolved from several original strains fairly geographically dispersed? Its fascinating stuff | |||

"Approximately 19% of the UK population was born outside the UK. If that counts for first-generation migrants, imagine how big that percentage would be for the second or third generation. Would you mind sharing where your roots come from? I'm Latina with strong Scottish/Basque roots " As far as I know, my ancestral roots are all English. But as a Brummie, which is a city that grew and prospered thanks to the contributions of newcomers, I feel connected to so many other cultures and backgrounds. | |||

"Mix of Irish, another French Huguenot, Scottish, and others according to Ancestry DNA but also backed up by family tales " My family tale said that there was a Chinese woman somewhere in my maternal great-grandparents line. When I go to Chinatowns around the world- I get spoken to in Mandarin/Cantonese 🤭 one time I was at a chinese grocer and I was speaking English to my then baby daughter and a woman said to me “It’s a shame you’re not speaking Chinese to your daughter…” and I said “Believe me, I would if I could!” 😂😂😂 Interested in this, my son had a DNA test done and nope, not a single trace of far east Asia/China in our DNA. There was some heavy Native American from the specific northern area in Mexico my mother was from. I am interested now in doing a test myself to see what it throws in.
According to another family tale my MATERNAL grandfather was from outside Bilbao in the Basque country but I never met him and can’t say it was true. My maiden surname ties in though  | |||

Would you mind sharing where your roots come from? I'm Latina with strong Scottish/Basque roots " That’s fascinating. I live in a very non-diverse place so I would never have guessed 19%. Here’s what ChatGPT says the breakdown is: India 920,000 Poland 743,000 Pakistan 624,000 Romania 539,000 Ireland 325,000 Italy 277,000 Bangladesh ~260,000 Nigeria ~250,000 Germany ~240,000 South Africa ~220,000 The one that surprises me is “Germany”. You don’t often hear about recent German immigration to the UK. I’m all Scottish/Irish rather boringly. | |||

Romans, Saxons, Vikings etc. Even before that especially in the south where at so evpoints France is only 20 miles across the water " Human settlement in the UK has only been continuous for roughly 12,000 years. However, there are tools in the UK dating back nearly 900,000 years. Though it’s likely those very early homo ancestors didn’t say here all year round. | |||
