I live in California - my ancestors came to America in the early 1600's - one to Jamestown and the others to Mass.

This is a little flawed as it seems that many Americans* all across the internet believe that they're immigrants because their ancestors came to America 11 generations ago and somehow they still feel that homeland calling.

Whilst, genealogy is a big interest to me and I genuinely appreciate knowing family history this, to me, stretches the definition of 'immigrant'. If you're born in a particular country, then you're not really an immigrant and if the immigration stretches beyond that of your grandparents that's definitely not the case; even the 'grandfather laws' applicable to citizenship of some countries suggests this.

Also, I'm going to be particularly interested in how many Americans apparently have Irish or Scottish ancestory, but how few will admit to having English ancestory. Or, for that matter, the 'Celtic' red-haired stepchild, the Welsh, who rarely make a blip of the Celtic-American radar.



To me, that's actual immigration.

*I single them out as I safely think they're the largest demographic here and their input will dominate and skew any results.

Born in Houston Texas but raised in southern Cali, USA! I'm Northern Irish with a bit of German.

i'm ''Made in Belgium'' and i'm proud of it. And for as long my dad could trace us back in history he claims we never really left the area since the early 15oo's . So i guess i'll go along with the flow and stay up here to.

But i really don't feel Belgian i more feel like a "Earthling" . Because it seems to me where all in it together.

Nice thread btw :-) its kinda nice to know where y'all from

Frisian/Holland...:-)

Proud Aussie living in Sydney. Although the girlfriend and I are thinking of moving to LA.

We're always moving, so i don't really think it matters. We just got back from living in the UK and before that we were in NZ.

im american born and raised, i lived for 23 years in baltimore maryland and the last 5 years here in upstate ny, im 1 3rd german, 1 3rd native american (Cherokee), and 1 3rd native american (lumbee).

I am an Aussie (just north of Sydney) on the beautiful Central Coast.

My ancestry is Irish/English (among other European mixes).

I am Human and fly no flag

I respect all human life and countries and the sooner we see we are all really one people the better of we will be.

Nationalities and Countries divide people and this too has been a great hurdle toward a more opened and positive world between the haves and have nots.

The poor African living on 1$US dollars a day is equal in the cosmic law of things to the mighty Warren Buffet.

The energy force that connects us all is our true reason of being nothing more.

Hello from PORTUGAL!!!

100% Irish and living in Spain for 10 years!!

Great site for everyone worldwide!!

First generation Canadian, parents are Danish.

I too like to believe we are all one nation of Humans living on planet Earth.

That old saying "United we stand divided we fall." has always rang true in my mind.

I am American 110%


Born and raised the grandson of tobacco farmers/moon shiners in southside Virginia, now residing in the great state of North Carolina.


The family hails from a small area not far from Edinburgh, Scotland. We were a border clan, supporters of Robert the Bruce, horse thieves and killers mainly who were banished to N.Ireland before making the trek across the pond.

My family fought along side George Washington and the great Jefferson Davis. We have been here for well over 200 years ....and God willing will be here for 200 more.

I was born in the heart of the proud, ancient and mysterious Hungarian Empire (In my eyes it's still a small, but proud and brave empire.), lived in Canada and the U.S. for years but I always considered myself as the citizen of the planet, without borders, without any flags. Also in my heart, wherever I'm, I'm always a proud Hungarian.

Scottish, living in central Scotland. One of my great Grandpas was from Lithuania.

Some of my family moved away to Australia , New Zealand and South Africa, but our lot are still here, moaning about the weather!
