My paternal grandfather was born as the illegitimate child of an aristo and a servant-girl near Kiel. As an adult he resettled in East Prussia - then part of Germany, now part of Poland and Lithuania - where he married ,and where my dad was born.
I was born in Dorking, Surrey, and I have dual nationality - German and English.
I hope that answers your question.
