Born in Dublin to my irish mother who was unmarried when she had me to my irish father, however she married an English man was I was 3 1/2 he went on to legally adopt me (worse luck) lived here all my life expect back in dublin for 2 years when I was 11.

Oh man, such an interesting bunch of people!!!! :) And I thought all you guys were English....... I thought I was the only continental girl around here ;).
Anyway my mother is Slovenian, my dad half Austrian, half Slovenian. I was born and raised in Ljubljana (capital of Slo). I moved to UK in August 2006 (the things we do for love!! :rolleyes:) and I have no idea how long I will stay.
For short.... a Slovenian gal living in Surrey!

Whoa...very British but none of the above!
Here in Guernsey we are not even part of Europe officially. My mother was born in Scotland so that gives me 'rights 'within Europe and my children too. However OH is Guernsey, of Guernsey and for a few generations back , so he has no rights, I believe this would be to do with abode, employment etc!

Going further back in family don't know about father's side, but granny's family on mother's side are all Scottish (Highlands), (grandfather on mother's side's family from Norfolk/Lancs) but granny & her brothers grew up in NI, then granny had one child in London, one in Belfast & one in Aberfeldy (Scotland) - she missed out Wales, really she needed to have four :D Anyone else's family done that?
