Bunch of Frenchies landed the NE of England in the early 1000's and scattered across the land. My lot located to Ayrshire, Scotchland around 1145 and slowly migrated to the NE of Scotchland and here we have stayed. However, I'm really nothing like both mum or dad, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if told I was adopted

I can't research my ancestry any further than my granny on my dads side as he never knew who his father was........I'm pretty sure his mother never knew either 
On my mum's side I got back as far as the 1890's and some folk who had fled from Germany.

My mum has done work on this. My Grandad on mum's side has been traced back through Glasgow (shipyards) and Ayrshire (army) to Maryculter, Aberdeen, Grandma's side being Stafford for generations. Dad's ancestors were from the Darlington area. Mum's dad and my dad's dad/mum moved to Stafford to work at English Electric.

I got my Dad's male ancestry going back to about 1630's; all in the general Malmesbury area.
My mum's male ancestry I've got back to the 1700's in the general South Glouc area.
There is some slightly northern blood mixed in there from maternal ancestry sources

C'mon, who is a 'local'??:
Joey Shabadoo
My pronouns are "He", "Him" and "buggerlugs"
Sheffield University did a massive dna survey in the UK a few years ago and found some interesting data.
The Scots had a lot of Norse and Irish dna as you'd expect but they also found significant amounts of French, Egyptian and Persian
The Irish had Norse, French and North African dna in the mix.
England was much as you'd expect - Jutes, Angles, French but also quite a lot of Mediterranean.
The Welsh, well, um, technically the Welsh are livestock.

Over a 1000 years either side, and both less than 100 miles away.That explains a lot!
I can even go to a local abbey to see the graves of some earlier family members.
