So been looking into my family tree recent, which turns into a fairly dull background!

I knew my 4 grandparents were all born in Coventry and lived here whole life.

All 8 great great parents lived in Coventry, and 5 of those 8 were born here.

Anyone else into ancestry stuff and as much Cov?

Got some in Cov going back to 1700's but also Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Some from London but my WDYTYA story would be my GGrandad and who his father was as his mum worked in service for a well-off family and wasn't dismissed when she got pregnant. He was adopted and she went back to work for the family.

Same as that. Dad from Pompey, my mum is from Northern Ireland. They now live away.
If it wasn’t for city and a few mates I’d have no reason to go back.

I bought Mrs Dactyl one of those DNA kit things l - my heritage dna? She’s found it really interesting. Turns out she’s 25% Scandinavian/Viking…I guess that explains the beard and all that pillaging she does.
