[QUOTE="stoked, post: 84918, member: 947"] Ireland or Northern England/Scotland. My father's side is from Dublin and Mother's side from Norfolk, England. Her ancestors came down to there after several centuries in Scotland so it has a warm place in my heart as well. As far as time period - I was born 100 years too late so any time after 1800 would be great. On the practical side - actually living in Britain as a non British could be a real problem. I was actually considering it so I did some research. Even if your ancestors are from there you will be shuned as an outsider. Jobs will go to islanders first, you will likely not fit in culturally for a while. It's the same language but that's about it. When my family went to visit relatives I remember the lightly hidden displeasure of several people at hearing I was Canadian. Don't get me wrong - there were lots of friendly and polite folks, but the british have to be one of the most superior minded and racist group of people out there. No offense intended Brits - my grandfather was one. There's good and bad everywhere. [/QUOTE]
