since people are puting details in i thought i would elaborate.

on mums side:
grandad japanese hailed from WA where the family were pearl divers, and were here late 1800's but moved to sydney after they were released from detention after WWII (pop didnt speak a word of japanese he was as aussie as anyone).
nan is a kamilaroi (Aboriginal) from northern NSW around Tingha and moved to Sydney after she was released from her service as a house servent at 17.

on dads side:
pop was irish born and raised in belfast but the family moved here to dubbo when he 13 to escape the catholics and all those politics.
nan was wiradjuri (Aboriginal) and was born and raised in dubbo and met my pop and married him when she was 15 and they both moved to sydney.

If you believe the so called evolution scientists everyone should have "ticked" Africa as their family heritage.

I am Soviet Union Born as are all relatives on both sides and they have always lived in the Soviet Union even way before the 2 unsuccessful invasions of Russia by the criminal germanic knights in the 1200's.
