My paternal lineage goes back to a large clan of Scottish lords. Beyond that, the line is mostly up to speculation. I don't know much about my other ancestors. My maternal grandfather was half Native American and I know I got some engine on my dad's side as well (which explains why I'm such a savage on these forums).

My gramps was a silver miner and came here for temporary work in the 70's. I don't know much about them, they were to dumb to keep records.

Further back Spain and Italy.

My mum's side of the family has been here in NZ since the 1840's, they were all English I believe?

My dad's side is from Ireland, and my dad was the first from his family actually born in NZ, so I also have Irish citizenship because of that

My mum's super into genealogy and we have folders upon folders of more detailed information about my family history, but I haven't read through any of it >.>

Pure German on my father's side, mother's side stretches back American through the 17th century and nothing else can be found about them.

havent bothered with my lineage, actually. i dont think ancestry does those in other countries besides the US.

Girl of Mystery · December 14, 2015, 06:11:32 PM

I dunno.

I know that my Grandad's parents on my Mum's side were Welsh though.

No, they have international birth and death records and shit, it just costs more.

A Scottish clan that I've never found the name of (I need to ask my grandmother someday)
Welsh is impossible to trace >jones = gg no re give up now
England... haaaaaa... my ancestors on that side of the family were some of the last people to be executed as witches

The irish part of the family/ancestry is a lot clearer and stronger, partly because that's the surname (the er, chances of a male child to female child in the -surname- family goes roughly like this
Four generations
Grandparents (3:2)
Parents (1:1)
Siblings (5:0)
Nephew/Niece (1:0)

total ratio 10:3

and apparently my great grandfather had a lot of brothers too, but I don't have the numbers for that.

Anyhoo, male line is stronk and always leaves the surname behind - the chosen profession of this line was clerics, priests, scribes, monks, clerks, historians - go figure for what that implies about record keeping.

All in all you can trace my family line in ireland with confidence back to about 300AD (iirc) with a few kings along the way >.>

Sicilian, Polish, Russian, and likely some other Eastern European nationality. My family isn't too sure what, but we think Ukraine.
