New World Citizens - How Well Do You Know Your Ancestry...???

People from North, Central, South America, Australia or New Zealand

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

I met my parents once.A couple of nice fellas

Yep, and my wife is French, Aztec.

My daughter is a huge mix.

Lets see... I'm half dirty sav... (Don't you chimooks try usin' that one...) And the rest is 2 steps above the fuckin' welsh bastards...

Mother's half unrecognized NE tribe (whitey sure can hold a grudge, it's been like 300 years since we did that shit to your forts... But, you fuckers deserved it for letting those nasty Pennsylvania "Dutch" rape our women ,) part potato munching drunkard (errr, Irish) with a little Scotsman thrown in just to humiliate our lineage...

Father's half drunkard terrorist (N. Irish,) and half Wea Indian.

Me, I'm a fuckin' Native American Patriot.
