I am mix of Scottish, English, Welsh and Canadian. My mother and father were both born and raised in Canada but only my Mom's father was born Canadian. Through him, I go back as far as the first foreign settlers of Scarborough, Ontario -- David and Mary Thompson. My last name is the most common surname in Ireland, so I suspect that if you follow my Welsh roots it will take you to Ireland.
My wife's family goes even further back in Canada by way of her Mother's mother. The Foy family is one of the big families in the Ottawa Valley. There is a mix of French Canadian, Native Canadian and English Canadian...
