Not being American I wasn't sure whether to post or not .... decided to skip the poll but reply anyway.
Don't know anything about my father, I only know about my mother's side of the family.

Maternal grandmother, Welsh.
Maternal grandfather, English.

My grandad was born into a large family in Wiltshire, England. When very young he walked from there to here, Wrexham, North Wales, to enlist in the Royal Welsh Fusilers, where he eventually reached the rank of Sergeant Major. He met and married my grandmother while in Wrexham and their 6 children were born in various places, depending on where he was stationed. My Uncle Fred was born in Ireland and my Mum and Uncle John were born in India. (My grandmother died in India and is buried there.) Not sure where the other three children were born, and as they are all dead now there isn't any way of finding out.
