Re: genealogy

I thought the same thing, also not white.

On the other hand I can see why people who grow up as just "white," especially "white American," are interested in exactly what particular kind of white they are. Most but not all POC and immigrants know where they came from and what their ancestral home countries are and can point to a place (a notable exception being black Americans descended from slaves), but many "white Americans" with no recent immigrants in their family tree don't have or know that for sure. I've seen lots of African-Americans with slave ancestry also very interested in knowing exactly where their ancestors came from.

I'd probably be curious too, if I didn't already know.

Not to imply that ayebydan is American, btw. I just comment on it because I've seen the genealogy thing gaining popularity here in the US.

Re: genealogy

It is curious to me that you all asume I am white American.

I am white Scottish and mostly we wish to seek out whether we are traditional Scots speakers ie from the lowlands or gaelic speakers from the more northern regions. Many Scots are decended from Irish families who fled the famine ( I know I am on my bio sides) but then where the rest of our family fled and if we have cousins is cool to know.

We found once removed cousins in New York in our last drive at it. We get on great now.

Trust me, I am with you on the white Americans coming here and going 'I am Scottish cause in 16XY My X did Z' and I am like uhhuh. But it is my great grandparents that are Irish so that is a strong connection for me.

I don't want to trace my dna because I think that is unreliable crap tbh

I didn't, though...

Re: genealogy

[ayebydan]

You said that after. Yours and the other comments at first seemed to suggest you all thought I was. My bad.

Re: genealogy

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. The original anon was commenting on the popularity of geneaology kits, I was only trying to give perspective of why they're taking off around here.

Anyone white in the UK is usually a mix of Scots, Irish, Welsh and English. That's what's interesting to me when I research my family history.
