(10,745 posts)There is, of course, the nearly ubiquitous British settler ancestry first......from both sides of the country(to this date, I've counted every single one of the original 13 States outside of maybe Georgia amongst ancestral birthplaces). I also found a good bit of German and even a bit of Scots-Irish and Irish in there(with a Norwegian, and possibly a Swede and a Finn or two thrown in). But surprisingly enough, there's also a fair amount of Canadian(including French-Canadian), French Huguenot, and Dutch in my various lines as well.
And then there's the connections I've managed to dig up to famous people as well; how about the Carters for starters? And then there's Herbert Hoover, Jimmie Rodgers(yep, the old country star), and quite a few others I probably haven't ever mentioned, here or anyone else.
