Have you tried tracing your family tree?

My great, great paternal grandfather was Irish. Surprising fact is, Ireland is one of the few countries that allows citizenship by ancestry as far back as your great great grandparents. I've never been to Ireland but would love to visit, especially Dublin, Kilarney national park and the Aran Islands.
We sometimes never know our true ancestry but mine is a mix with Japanese, Irish and also some French thrown in on my maternal grandfathers side. There is no such thing as 'pure blood' and maybe if people realised this, racism might become a thing of the past.

We have a book detailing my Dad's family going back 200 years. My aunts were tricked into tracking it all down by the possibility that we nobility in our background.. Although our Great Greatx5 grand father was an immigrant. We don't know where he came from or what became of him when he put his kids up for adoption when his wife died in child birth.

Mums family come from a long line of convicts. One of them was a silver smith and was sent to Australia for coating lead in silver. He worked his time off and went back to England. Didn't like it there and got sent back to Australia for the same crime.
