I am a Tenth Generation American, my grandmother was brought here as a portugese slave in the mid 1500's. I have in my blood there four documented Indian tribes, as well as English, Irish, German, Polish, French, and we are still waiting for the rest of the results. There are genealogy labs all over the country that do this kind of testing for a fair price. You can even break down the tests to afford as many as you like. The history I spoke of was passed on to me by my family, and now I am teaching my grandchildren about our familys difficult, but proud family history.

Forgive my gramar errors, I have had to work most of my life so there was little time to perfect all of my gramar skills. Although, my daughter who is in college to be a lawyer, is teaching me.

I would say that most European/Native Americans, and that's what I am, are more than fourth generation Americans. My mother's family, (English/German) was here by 1679. That's a freakin long time ago. My father's family,(Irish/French/Cherokee) were in Texas by 1828, 17 years before the Irish Potato Famine, which was horrible! We didn't just push our way in here to get a job at McDonald's. Today's argument is with the Latin-American citizens who are too wussy to overthrow their corrupt governments. And who believe, let me tell you, that the Southwestern United States still belongs to them! They want it back! Good luck with that, Y'all!

I am for sure.
I think Joseph Von Nida came here in the late 1700's. I am probably about a 19th generation from what the papers say.
My husband is Sicilian, barely third generation. Meaning his Grandfather was born here, some of his siblings were born in Sicily.

My family goes way back further than that. almost to the start. Before the Declaration or Constitution. And yes we have traced it back and even have an annual Reunion of those who are in my family . I have pictures too that I take to fairgrounds every year to show from early America (pass downward for generations)
Yes we are still here!
