My ancestors are largely German, Dutch, and French. However, that French family spent about 600 years in England... they were called Strode but when you get back to France, it's de la Strode. The Germans and Dutchmen came right off the boat - the Dutchmen to New Jersey in the 1600s, and the Germans to Pennsylvania in the 1770s.

It explains why I prize beer and tulips so much...
