Alias1983 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I do because my family came from other countries before coming to America. That's what genealogy is, I'm a human of x, y and z region's I just happened to be born here in our families travels. 5 generations ago my family moved here to get away from the European wars, we eventually got dragged into it.

Skarclaw Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 yeah you are american now 5 generations is a long *albatross* time man c'mon!! Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Eh, I don't think I am because I don't call the boarders home. We are like gypsies, we hail from the lands of Scotland, Ireland, Deutschland and Wales. Now we add land of America, these are places our family have lived and died. But our family will not end here.

Tw1tch Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I really really want a Mk46 LMG with the enhanced stock. Need monies and the G&P appears to be discontinued and I think only A&k offer the right stock out of the rest. Serious cravings hah. Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Mum traced our family history back to about 16XX or so. Purely British in our family it seems! Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 My lot used to knock about with William wallace apparently, but I'm not claiming I'm a Jock. To me, where you're born is what you should call yourself, by and large Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's all *badger*s. My sister was born in Germany but she is British because Army. I was born in Scotland to Scottish parents so I am British too. None of it matters. Why be proud of something you didn't do? You had no choice in where you were born, you did nothing. Instead, be proud of something you did do. If you haven't go something to be proud of, do something and be proud of that. Why put yourself in a box? We are all human.

shmook Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 So if I had a child with my Scottish/Irish wife in Japan then my child would be Japanese?Thought something like this may come up. If been there and lived for a while, then yes. In the case of my niece for example, English parents, she was born in Canada, as her dad worked there at the time. She lived there for about 6 months and they came home. Dual nationality, but to everyone, including her, She's English. Doesn't even say 'aboot' or 'ey' Edit, was going to say the same as stunt too, it doesn't really matter so much Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 The above is exactly the same for me.. Dad was based in Edwards but we lived out there for a year so I got both passports and all the American medical jabs the Brits refused to give me! But to everyone im English!
