Well I think you forgot to post the most important fact, Where was your son born? He'll be Canadian, English, or whatever country he was born in.

You are Canadian of English roots
Your Husband is Canadian of Canadian roots
so I guess your son would be 1/2 English and 1/2 Canadian by blood but 1/4 and 3/4 if you do the math based on location of birth rather than blood ancestry

Either way he's full blooded Human being and Earthling @};---

Gay...

...as in VERY happy that hes English and Canadian of course!

%100 english , i guess . all of them are basicly english

1/4 english i think

full canadian!

yes your right!!! it is a confusing thing to really THINK ABOUT IT HUH? IM CONFUSED ABOUT MYSELF TOO!

3/4 Canadian on a 1/4 English He would be a Canaglish.

he would be 1/2 english and 1/2 canadian

How about Canadian...

he owuld be 50/50. the fact you were born in canada only makes u a canadian citizen, it doesnt make you canadian. both are your parents are from england, right? so he would be 50/50.
say he was born in africa, that wouldnt make him any more african, would it?

I'd say 1/4--3/4.

Well, if your parents were 100% English, and his parents 100% Canadian, your son would be 50% English, 50% Canadian. =D

follow by your last name - I guess

A moving director...

It all depends on the actual ancestry. If your parents ARE English and your husband's parents ARE Canadian your son would be 1/2 English, 1/2 Canadian

Genetically (if that's the word in this case), I think your son would be 1/2 English and 1/2 Canadian. Since both of your parents are English that makes you, technically, full-blood English. Since your husband, by the same logic, is full Canadian your son would be half-and-half.

Your son is Canadian. He has English ancestry.

That would make him 1/2 English and 1/2 Canadian. Because you are full English and your husband is full Canadian. Just because you were born in Canada doesn't change your heritage.

1/2 English and 1/2 Canadian if you are 100% English heritage. Where you were born doesn't matter much it is where your ancestors came from. I am an American but I am Irish and Italian.

Canadian. He was born in Canada, his parents were born in Canada.... He is not at all English.

Why does it really matter? As your son has been born in Canada, he would have Canadian citizenship. What really is important is that you raise him to respect his ancestory but also help him become a responsible humanbeing and a responsible Canadian.

He's going to be 50% of you and 50% of your hubby.

Unless your husband is an Eskimo or a Cree or some other native Canadian, he is some mixture of European stock. You may not know what it is, or how long ago, but . . .

For genealogy, people in the US, Canada and Australia usually go back to their immigrant ancestors. I'm 9/128ths Huguenot, for instance. By that standard, you are 100% English and your son will be 50% from your side.

Again by the genealogy standard, if you husband is, for instance, 50% English, 25% French and 25% unknown, you son would be 25%, 12.5% and 12.5% of those. His 50% English from you and 25% English from your husband would add to 75%.

For all other purposes he's 100% Canadian.

he's a natural Canadian citizen, with at least 50% English ancestry (you would be 100% since both of your parents were English, and that makes him 50%), plus half of whatever his father's ancestry is. Ancestry/Ethnic background is very different from nationality, and for some reason, we don't think of the US or Canada being separate ethnicities yet. Perhaps because of the high influx of immigrants.

Basically, he should think of himself as a Canadian, as I think of myself as a US citizen, despite being 1/8 each of Irish, Dutch, German, Norwegian, and 1/4 each English & Luxembourgish. If you wish to email me, I can explain it a little better.

It makes your son a Canadian citizen of British heritage. Canadian heritage, much like that of its neighbors to the south/west, is not commonly indigenous. If you can identify your husband's heritage, such as Quebecois, Polish, Irish, Scottish, then you factor that in. Since Canada maintains its relationship with Britain, it's not a separate ethnic group that is split off from the rest of its history, like it would be in Aruba, Jamaica or Belize.

That would make him a child with an interfering mother.
