It's not uncommon for me to be mistaken for an Italian, even though,
limited though my knowledge of my lineage is, I seem to be of british

So I happily tell people that I have some Julius Caesar in me, since he
vici'd after he vidi'd and veni'd.
As far as I know, there is now some discussion about the common african
radiation of our species.
