Re: Your Ethnicity
All my life I was told I'm Irish, English, Danish and Scottish (on my mom's side).
Later, I was told we also have Cherokee somewhere back, but it was unclear exactly when or how much.
Much later, I was told my dad's side is German, Cornish, and (also) Cherokee (again, unclear when or how much).
A year or two ago, I started tracing my mother's roots, trying to verify a story I recall my grandmother told me as a child: that we are related to Anne Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare.
Still have not verified that.
What I *have* verified (so far) is that my Scottish ancestors moved to Ireland for roughly five years, with two more children being born there, before emigrating to the United States in 1796. My direct ancestor was born in Scotland, near Lanarkshire. No Irish blood whatsoever.
Someday I'll tackle that puzzle again. But for now--- I'm another Heinz 57.
