    My family came to America before the revolutionary war (on all sides) from France, England, and Ireland. My paternal grandmother's mother's family was Cherokee. My paternal grandmother's father's family is lower French Royalty that got kicked out of England and France in the 1400's and settled in the New World as farmers. That family is directly descendant from Charlemagne and William the Conqueror which goes all the way back to Ptolemy (general to Alexander the Great). My paternal grandfather's family were poor irish famers (lineage stops in 1480's in Ireland - no records before then). My maternal grandmother's family is also Irish. My great great grandfathers on her side fought as captains on both sides of the civil war. Unfortunately, we know nothing about my maternal grandfather's family as his mother took all the family history with her to the grave. She refused to discuss it. There is some evidence that my great-grandmother was born out of wedlock, but we don't know to whom.

    I've lived in New Jersey my entire life. On my Mom's side, I'm almost entirely Russian with a bit of German. On my Dad's, it's a combination between Russian, English, and Irish. My Mom's side came to America in 1921 and I'm not sure when my Dad's side immigrated.

    Me: So dad where did your family come from? Whats your background?

    Dad: Texas

    Me: Dad, no like BEFORE texas. We're not natives here.

    Dad: We're Texans. There was no where before Texas.

    ************************
    To this day I honestly have no idea about my dad's side of the family.
