Mom's family mainly Highland Scots of the MacIntosh Clan who emigrated to Virginia during the Clearances. GGGGGrampaw served in the Revolutionary War and was paid in land, in this case on the frontier in Kentucky, in an area with other Scotch-Irish settlers. My Mom's Grandfather came home from the Civil War and upset the family by marrying a Native American. She got her revenge, because most of my Mom's family now looks very Indian. Dad's grandfather was Swedish, married an Irish girl.

Guess that makes me a pretty typical American.
