    What Percentage Welsh am I?

    Here we go; All 4 Grandparents are Welsh.

    Meaning Both Parents are fully Welsh, HOWEVER:

    All 4 Grandparents lived elsewhere when they gave birth to mom and dad:
    (Mom: Devon: Dad: Wolvehampton)

    So does that technically makes them both 100% Welsh, despite not ever living
    there?

    Then I was born in Wordsley, but if both parents are fully Welsh......
    :S

    Can anyone answer this?

    I'd say you were all welsh, because your heritage is welsh. Depends what you want to be tho, and how strong your accent is

    u could play for both national teams
    not simultaneously.

    the question is what nation do you feel a stronger attraction for ? And since there ARE no sheep where u grew up.. how do you know what might happen if u see one... all suited and blowing in the wind ???

    Are you sure that wasn't up the road in that scumsville known as K'ford?? and the robbers identified as the smelly eddys?
    That's word on the street.

    And shockingly I have seen sheeps. I just don't like sheeps. They don't do anything for me.....neither does any other livestock!

    But seriously now, am I English, Welsh? Half each? What?
    I feel and hope I am 100% English. I just love it.

    Personally I would say welsh more. but then that is just so u are not called a football hoolian by the great clueless of the world.

    Seriously I believe in the bloodline. But I think passport-ly speaking if u're grandparents had been say german and your parents/yourself born in France... u would be French.

    But since we all come under the "british banner" and the united kindom is our "nation" <- there is no england, scotland, northern ireland or wales.. only UK, and historic gubbins <- no matter what we would like

    Until the UK implodes.. its academic.

    WELSHY

    haha, probably was the eddies. i'm a wall heath boy, not k'ford! wall heath represent! hehe.
    my ancestry is messed up even worse. i know my ancestors were welsh, spanish and australian (not at same time...), so if i worked it back i'd be a very confused person!
    peace
