America ? tell me where your ancestors came from ???

Question

AND IF IT NOT SCOTTISH
ITS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

My ancestors were German and Welsh with one or two Scots thrown in.

Answer 2

My surname was born after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. William I gave my ancestors land in Devonshire England for fighting and supporting him during the Battle of Hastings. Before that, my ancestors had a different surname and was most likely related to King Rollo a Viking King. My mother's side of the family is related to William I. So either way, both sides had something to do with the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Answer 3

Various places. First of all, there were people already here ---variously known as Native Americans, Indians, and American Indians. Next, add in those from various parts of the United Kingdom ---England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Also, let us not forget the Republic of Ireland. Continental Europe also comes to mind ---a few examples being France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. And least but not least are Asian countries --- Japan and China come immediately to mind.

Oh, and I neglected to to mention "blacks", also known as "African-Americans". The earliest ancestors of African-Americans were brought to this side of the world from Africa as slaves. However, they became thoroughly assimilated over time.

Answer 4

On my Mom's side (Sullivan) - County Clare in Ireland.
On my Dad's side (Slattery) - County Kerry, also in Ireland.

Further back than that, well, your guess is as good as mine. If we were to go ALL the way back, I suppose it'd be Africa.

"By studying patterns in DNA, scientists will be able to map the migration of the human species -- and may pinpoint where the original humans came from in Africa, and how humans spread and diversified as they moved to distant parts of the globe.

Wells says some ethnic groups, like the San Bushmen of Namibia, have retained closer genetic lineages to the earliest humans. But in spite of the tremendous diversity of human beings, we are all "effectively members of an extended family.

"The amazing thing to come out of all of this is how closely related we all are," Wells says. "We share a common ancestor -- a man who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago. That's only about 2,000 generations."

Answer 5

England, Ireland, Germany and Southern France.

Answer 6

------Scotland: McQuerry, McConnell, McDonald, McKnight, McLaughlin, Tait, Crawford (twice), Shepherd, Johnston, Henderson (twice)

------Northern Ireland Protestants: Caldwell, Dudgeon (twice)

------Northern Ireland Catholics: Daugherty

------England: Box, Dickerson, Terry, Chappell

------France: Keesee (which was originally La Cage)

And then, there's my paternal great-grandfather--Mr. Smith showed up in Texas in the middle of the American Civil War minus a right arm or a past; supposedly, he was born in upstate New York.
