We have German, Polish, English, French, and Irish in our blood.
My ancestors have been in America since day one. I have ancestors that were in the original Jamestown colony and all died from illnesses around 1607. Many of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War.
I also had ancestors who fought in the Wars of the Roses in the 1400's in England. I believe King Henry VI was in rule then, I could be wrong.
Tons of my ancestors faught in the Civil War. A couple of my ancestors settled in Maryland and homesteaded on the Antietam Battlefield, right before the Civil War broke out.
There is a lady in Houston who is researching my family's history, and let me tell you, what she has found out is pretty cool. I never knew I had relatives that were on the Mayflower and were part of the first Jamestown Colony.
We've been around for ages!!
