It’s amazing that the further back you go the amount of direct relatives you have.

Of my relatives that I can trace, my fathers family are from Cornwall and my mothers from Northumberland - but both sides we’re seafaring
My paternal side are either from the west country or Ireland. Hardly any Welsh Ancestry. Alot of people in south wales may be quite surprised that their family line isn't as Welsh as they think it might be. Lots of English came to south wales to work the docks and steel works.
