Again, you see - how far back are these ancestries?

Cornell has four - are those his Grandparents?
The blog says Irish father, Jewish mother (religion, not race btw)

Depp has three - who is missing?
Gaiman has two/ three?

Not a dig at you Sky, just - again - the idea that only "important" ancestors count.
I'm probably Irish/ Norman/ Saxon/ Celt by those standards. With a possibility of Roman/ Viking.
Which means I am English, same as anyone else whose parents did not move here.
I accept if your parents met and married in another country, you are genetically aligned to that country. And if you keep your dating pool within that community the same applies.

Anyone else, it's not worth the distinction.
