Dad's side: Grandpa Sicilian, Grandma Calabrese came over here 1919
Mom's side: English, Scots, French, German....typical Euro mutt been here since early 1800's

The family went on a grand Euro tour when I was 12 ....English food is absolute shit, rather eat cat food

How well do you know your ancestry...?

Do you know who was the first of your ancestors to arrive in America/Canada/Australia...?

When did they arrive?
Where did they arrive from?

Maybe you know of several ancestors who arrived at different times from different countries of origin?

I'd be interested to hear a few examples.

Cheers

Been told Im a long lost descendent of Queen Boudicca. Impossible to verify of course. First "New World" ancestor (name omitted. still go by it.) landed in Virginia from England in 1620 aboard a ship named The William and Mary. The fellow went on to be a founding father of a few towns in Massachusettes. Later had folks come west from Virginia carving out the Cumberland Trail into the Kain-tuck-ee territory with Daniel Boone. Pretty dull after that.

my great grandfather was a moonshiner who shot a man over it so i guess i do carry on a family tradition

.... and then one day, these Angles encountered a group of people called the Saxons. Later, they encountered some Huns. They liked these Huns after coming to an understanding.

I do not know.

Yes, that is true. (*)

English and French with some American Indian thrown in on both sides.
