Gravesend is local to me as well. It's been promoted from the 7th worst place to live in the UK to the 3rd. If only West Ham showed such improvement in league tables....

Does that make you Wirish or Irwelsh, Len?
My DNA breakdown is thus;
48% Scottish
26% English and northwest European (why is it not just English? It's not even broken down.)
24% Jewish
2% Irish
The last one was a tiny shock.

I did the ancestry DNA thing.
My dad was Welsh and my mum's Irish, but I thought maybe I could have a bit of something unexpected and exotic, like 1% Eskimo or something, but no.
Welsh and Irish, nowt else.
Bit of an anti-climax.

def - Just out of interest, do you know a dude called Dean Kellard from Gravesend, mid- late 50's? Not a MATE, but he lives over this way, bit of a rascal by all accounts.

frank marker 1:59 Good facts!
I have actually been to Gravesend in Brooklyn, NY!
As you say Frank most people think Gravesend is something to do with the Black Death but it isn't, Gravesend is mentioned in the Domesday Book which in 1086 predates the Black Death in 1348.

Gravesend facts:
1. The name has nothing to do with the Black Death, which was a naughty illness in the middle ages which wiped out mainly guilty people. So don't feel sorry for them, because they were probably from Dartford.
2. Gravesend as the name for a town has been copied by the Australians and the Americans, imitation being the highest form of praise. Except our Gravesend is the original one, so up yours you sweetcorn shitting colonials.
3. The Nelson was the hardest pub in Great britain until it was turned into a MacDonalds, when it became the hardest MacDonalds in Great Britain. It is now a curtain shop, but I still wouldn't go in there.
4. Defjam comes from Gravesend and that's good enough for me. He probably grew up in Milton which is now a garage.

Arf!
I'm 1% Swedish/Danish, too. That'll be the Viking hordes setting up shop in Limerick (I'm mostly Irish; Munster)
I'd love to know the story of my ancient Indian fam, but I never will. Too long ago.
It's a strange feeling - the website gives you names, photos and contact details for cousins (often fairly close cousins) you previously knew nothing about. For some reason a load of them are in Spain and Brazil. I'm slightly unsettled by it all, which I didn't expect. I can't bring myself to do anything with the info or contact any of them yet.

My daughter did the Ancestry DNA thing.
I've just claimed the half I like for me and blamed the rest on her mother's lot. It seemed fair to me. Worth every penny she paid.
