That means I'd have to go back to Wales. And then part of me would have to stay there, while other parts would be distributed around the East End and Hugenot France.

Don't fancy that...

:ponders: er. I know I have a bunch of Cornish in me. My surname means by definition 'not saxon'. But considering I'm blonde (with reddish tones), half-Geordie (we do not know of this viking accent and dialect you speak of) and am also descended from a bunch of French glassmakers, can I apply for asylum on the grounds of being decorative and willing to bugger off to Cornwall where I won't bother anyone? it's not like anyone *wants* it.

It's a lucky thing your timeline of acceptability screeches to a halt in the Mesolithic. Because if you kept this genetic purity argument going back far enough, you'd find out something really, really, reaaaaalllllllly dreadful.

Your greaty-great-great grandmother and grandfather were African, and we're all Black. (That is, if you stick to the one drop rule. The drop is very tiny, but who cares?!)

Eeeeeeeek!

The Great Rift Valley is gonna get mighty crowded, mighty mighty soon. I wonder if Kenya is prepared to handle a huge immigration influx?

Also, does this mean my tendency to drink beer, chin, and reddish hair (all from my dad) have to try and emigrate to Ireland, and my skin tone, eye color, and blondish tone (all mom's) have to try and get work permits in Poland? I will be the American Plumber.

Well, yeah, that's why I stopped when I did. Or, as others have pointed out, this may be an ideal opportunity for marketing elbow sharpeners.

Reddish hair, btw, is more likely to be of Norse extraction than Irish.

Oh dear. I already live in a snowbank. I don't think I can handle another move north.
