... don't say "American" or "Caucasion". I'm wondering what country his distant ancestors are from.

Using Ancestry.com as a search engine, I've determined that George W. Bush is primarily of English descent.

His mother, Barbara Pierce Bush, is a descendant of Thomas Pierce (born in 1608 in Norfolk, England; died 6 Nov 1683 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts). The former First Lady's 10th Great Grand Uncle, Edward Winslow, was a Mayflower Passenger. She is a distant relative of Presidents Reagan, Garfield, Taft, and Pierce.

George W's dad, George Herbert Walker Bush, is a descendant of John Bush (born 20 Jan 1593 in Messing, Essex, England; died 1670 in Cape Porpoise, York, Maine). Daddy Bush has two 9th-great grand uncles who were on board the Mayflower: George Soule and Edward Winslow. He is a distant relative of Presidents Garfield, Ford, and Lyndon Johnson.

George Bush lives in Texas and Texas years ago had mostly Germans living there and George Bush and his father are involved in Skull and Bones from Yale University, the secret society he can not talk about... Also, John Kerry is a member of Skull and Bones from Yale University. These people are plotting against us and think we're too stupid and blind to notice they're doing it. NWO = New World Order (Order= German speak). George Bush's father mentioned it in a speech. Wake up America!

The family came over from England on the Mayflower, of Pilgrim's fame. That's on the father's side. But the mother's side is basically English also, and it is through her that there is a distant relationship with some kind of royalty. Both sides are related to a slew of former Presidents.

Most of his ancestors going back to even the 17th century were born in what became the United States, but his ancestors came from Germany, Ireland, Moravia, England, France, Holland, and a few other places. Most of his ancestors seem to have been English, though.

Seems an odd question. President George Bush is of Euro ethnicity and American nationality.

Since I'm related some way to most US Presidents, I know these things.

I think he is from the Anglo-Saxon family. Bush name sounds like German, and he and Tony Blair have common ancestry.
Do research on this. He is Caucasion.

I understand his relation to royalty is due to the fact that he had a Virginia ancestor. Being related to royalty does not make you royalty.

I believe Barbara's family was from England and the rumour is they were royalty.
