My lot came from Yorkshire - quite a few are still there.
Many of us start with a Surname. ... a street number. ... a street. ... a suburb. ... a town/city/ ... a region (province/county/etc) ... a state. (possibly) ... a country. ... a nation. ... a geograpical region. ... a continent. ... a hemisphere. ... a planet. ... starting to get silly now ;-)
If you're from England and answer that you're from Europe, you wouldn't be wrong, but I wouldn't feel that you've answered my question. Ditto Asia. Ditto Africa. Ditto Australia (although that is one country) Ditto Antarctica. Ditto America.
