English, Irish and French (Huguenot).

Only Scottish and Welsh I have are second marriages so not direct lines.

Back to 1800 mine are all English. Then there's a Scottish line comes in.
But some lines go back a lot further and include Welsh, Scottish, and French of course when they came over in the Norman invasion. Lots of people will have them.

Mine are English and French on my mum's side

And German and Wendish on my father's side

Wends are from the spreewald region of what was east Germany, and had their own language and customs and dress/costume.
