Answer 4

A person's race at birth is the same as that of their parents.  If both your parents are English, then so too are you.  

A person's nationality is usually that of the country of their birth.

I am Welsh by race, a Brythonic Celt, as were my parents and their parants and our ancestors going back thousands of years.  However, being born in Birmingham England, does not make me English but it does allow me to say I am British.

Hope that's clear.

You are the race of your birth but you can choose your nationality.

Answer 5

or English of French ?

You can choose your nationality in this case - many people in this position choose dual nationality

Answer 6

Depends on how and where you were brought up. My sister was born in Germany, I was born in England. Our parents were born in England as were our grandparents and great grandparents. She is English and was brought up as English.

On the other hand I have a French mate, born in France to a Swiss father and an Egyptian mother. He sees himself as french and was brought up as French. It is not just about where you were born.

Answer 7

If  the parents (or Mother if shes not married ) are British  then no matter where the child is born it is British.I don`t know about French nationality laws every country has their own law

to be English  i think the child would need to be born in England of British parent/parents

Answer 8

Answer 9

French

Answer 10

If you are born in France, you are a French Citizen, unless your parents were there only on a short stop and they were both English citizens.  It is up to English law if you are a citizen there as well.  But if you are born in France you are French.  My ex-husband had French parents who taught in the USA, and his parents went to France in order for their babies to be born there, and they were legally French Citizens with automatic Green Cards.  He later had to take the citizenship test to become an American citizen.

Answer 11

You can be both, if you were born in France, but your parents are both British born then you can apply for status through your parents.

However at the moment you are classed as French, as you were born there.

Answer 12
