My mom had it done (ancestry) and it just confirmed that we're the whitest people to ever white. We have found a few relatives, but we knew vaguely that they existed. My great-grandfather abandoned his farm, family, and 14 kids to go have a new one of each in California (dust bowl). So we find people in Cali every once and a while.

Our family lore was that we came to the US from Ireland during the famine, and we've always had a healthy hatred of the oppressor, England. Turns out we're French by way of the 1066 invasion when our family was granted land in England for helping William, only to come over to the New World in the 1600s. Mom was inconsolable. It's one thing to actually be English, but FRENCH???

Wait, what? Your family got land and moved to England in 1066 and then moved to the (eventual) US in the 1600s and you consider your family *French*?

They spent nearly 600 years mingling with English people and living and breeding in England! Your family, by the time they moved to the New World, were not French.

They were more English than I am and I've lived in England for 40 years and was born to two English people. Before that I have Irish (grandparent, immigrant) but by your logic I'm a Spanish Viking, apparently.

If we want to get technical, we're American. We've been living on the continent for over three hundred years, so we're as English as much as French at this point. It's about the origin point.
