Question

I do have some Irish ancestry, but only in some branches of my family. Most branches come from England.

Answer 1

The fact of the matter is that where you live now and your physical traits have very little to do with your ancestry. Genetics are a funny thing because genes can skip one or more generations. Black hair, blue eyes, and fair skin may be the "hallmark" of your particular family, but your uncles family could have blond hair green eyes and fair skin. See, in this example and any example, the cousins share only half their genes. Your father married a lady from one place, but your uncle could have married someone from Scotland or Ireland, thus accounting for the difference in physical traits.

The only way you are going to have any clue about your ancestry is to research your family person by person, generation by generation. The best place to begin researching your family tree is with your very own family. Get a note book and write down everything that you know about yourself and your siblings. Include dates and places of birth, marriage and if applicable death dates and places of interment. As soon as you have all that, move back a generation to your parents. Once you have all of that, move back to your grandparents and keep going until you run stuck. Once you have written down everything you know, talk to your family members. Sometimes even your siblings know more than you do, but usually if you talk to your parents or grandparents they can go a generation or two further than you can simply because they are a generation or two older than you.

What happens next is up to you. What are you interested in? Would you like to know who all of your great great grandparents are? Are you interested in a particular surname? Are you trying to prove that you are related to someone famous? Only you know the answer to these questions? Once you've decided which avenue you want to explore you can continue.

There are many avid genealogists on this forum that are happy to try to help once you've done your initials research and decide which direction you want to take your research.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for; however, finding your ancestors is one of the most worthwhile and rewarding hobbies you can persue. It is also a treasure you can share with your siblings, children, and grandchildren. I hope this helps. Take care and good luck
