See that's a long time to member things. By that measure I'm probably like a Scandinavian-French-Irish-Scot.
I consider myself Scottish btw.
No offence to Snee, Gwilliaiialliuamme or Chalice like.

Indeed knowledge of one's ancestors is no bad thing.
It's habitually stating it when describing oneself to other which is the curiously American thing.

Does it go back to Ellis Island at all.
Certainly in the West of Scotland the ghettos were deliberately created. Miners from Ireland would be put in a village with either other Catholics or Protestants.
If your people were similarly divided, by country of origin one could see how the whole prefixed national identity would evolve.
And also the Irish and the Italians are particularly proud of their national identities, one could also see how a mere handful of generations would not remove that.

I can see that too.
Yet, I've always kinda believed that the merkins were perpetually aware of their bastard status and somewhat proud of it. I hate to use the phrase 'melting-pot'.
I've always considered it respectable in that they recognize that they don't have an indivisible culture, like.
The particliar village where I was born and raised was a Catholic, miner's village called Croy. It was built as such. This was where my Mother had been raised, my Grandmother (and indeed all of my Grand-Parents) having come over from Ireland. All of the male side of my Mother's family were coal miners and were placed in houses there.
My Father was from a village called Haggs from an entirely similar tradition. However his own Father was a clay miner. He himself took a trade and became a Joiner.
He moved to my Mother's village when they were married, which is probly why I have binocular vision and am not a cyclops like a lot of the people I knew.
We never considered the whole Irish Catholic tradition because that's what everyone was. In fact when the new Church was built my Mother and Father were the first couple married there.
