Do you know your heritage? If so, what is the most interesting thing you found out?
Apparently I'm somehow connected to Brian Boru :S
Nope I don't
I don't actually know my heritage either, my granny refuses to tell us anything (which is somewhat selfish).
Nope :(

My Mam and some of her sisters did it with my family I'll have a chat with her and let you know. I think there's a way to kinda do it online richie. Try census.ie (could be wrong but it springs to mind)
my family are irish disgusting i know
and not sure what my grandad is he was adopted from russia with no birth certificate so could be anything
No not really, only know as far as my Nanny and that is it.
Danish and German on my mothers side and English on my fathers side
My great grandparents were Danish and lived in Denmark for most of their married life until moving further south to Germany and settling in a town near Munich where my family have stayed ever since
No, I don't know anything really.

My family like many in Liverpool came from Ireland, I don't know for sure whether the north or the south but they are Catholic so I always assume the south... whether it was before or after the Republic was declared though I have no idea so I am not sure whether they were 'immigrants' or not. That's all I know really.
I should try and find out really, might hire someone when I have a job to research family background.
