Thread Name: American ancestry
Subject: RE: American ancestry
A few years ago, my gospel quartet was singing for a Little United Nations Day, and I found it humorous that as the leader of the quartet, I was the official spokesman for the African-American community (being white and of Midwestern ancestry.) But, as I said in introducing us, we're all from Africa, if you trace our roots back far-enough. I said that I am Danish/French/Scottish African-American.

Depends on how far back you want to trace your family tree.
You might literally find yourself in a tree.
