If you're in America, do you know when your ancestors first came here?
Answer:
My ancestors were here already, I am Native American my tribe is Ni Mii Pu also known as Nez Perce. My family as given a borrowed last name 3 generations before me so it hasn't really been that long. I was born 40 years after Native Americans were "granted" the status of Americans.
my ancestors came to the us via scotland and ireland.
My family genealogy, all I can say that all of my ancestors have been from North America.

No,
I do not know when my ancestors came to America .
I don't even know my ancestors nationality.
I'm American, why would i worry about where my ancestors came from , before coming to America?
Just how far back in time are you supposed to go anyway?
If you traced your ancestors to England, would you then have to trace them back to when their ancestors moved to England. What about even further back, where did they move from, before they moved to the country they lived in before moving to England ?
Why not just save time, and say your ancestors are African, since that's the consensus of where humankind evolved.
Ireland, circa 1930's.
Yes, and I am quite proud of my heritage. I am a mix of a Germans who came over in the 1870's with a talent for opera singing and beer-making. Unfortunately the family brewery was torched by prohibitionists so the beer-making came to an abrupt end. Another segment was a small group of dutch Boers who came from south africa to escape the Boer War, we believe they were tied to the DeBeers family and was ostracized by them for associating with local Zulu tribes (dad's side). My mother though is english and I have an appropriate variety of briton, scotch and irish blood.
Love geneaology, it's great to see your origins and try to research them as far back as you can go. I've made it about as far as the napoleonic era (german) and the reign of tudors in the english branch.
Yes, my mom's maternal side came from England before the Revolutionary War. (Part of that family actually defected to Canada at the outset of the Revolutionary War and are still there.)Her paternal side came from Ireland some time in the 1800s. Part of my dad's paternal side came from Germany at the beginning of the 19th century. The other part is Cherokee. On my dad's maternal side, I have no idea. It was impossible to get a straight answer out of my dad's mom, who died before I was born.
Mine came here in 1710 and have fought in almost every conflict the U.S has had. They came from Germany thru England on one of Queen Anne's ships.
100% ITALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Central Italy roughly 2 hours from Rome headed East.
My dad and his parents came to the U.S. in 1970. My mom's dad, also from the same small town that my father and his parents were from, came here towards the end of WWII (when Mussolini was canned). My moms mom was here in America already but her parents had lived in Italy before she was born, and came to this country. My mom was born here.
Alex
mine came over from England in the 1800"s. I'm beginning to wish they stayed there.
one more thing. it has been proved we all came from a tribe in Africa. that is where our ancestry really begins.
My ancestors came over shortly after the initial English settlement at Jamestown in 1636, they were members of the lesser Irish gentry so they had a pretty sizable plantation farm along the James River southeast of what is today Richmond before heading to the Waxhaws region of North Carolina, east of Charlotte. Sometime before the Revolutionary War they lived along the western frontier (the Appalachians at the time) after the serving in the Revolution they headed west to Tennessee where we've been ever since.
Yes,its intresting. I met about three years ago my great aunt,she will be 101 years old in october. She has helped me learn allot about my family.(that side is from Canada.)
i came from puerto rico when i was 8
My ancestors are English, had a relative fight in the revolutionary war he lived to be 106 years old.
I sure do. My mom's side left Lincolnshire (Grantham), England in 1796. My dad's side left Leicestershire (Eaton), England in 1811. Both sides arrived in New York City.
I used the free LDS website and the free UK Birth/Death/Marriage website to track them down. There's a lot you can do on the web for free.
I will not answer this question here, only because its in the forum of the immigration and lately things of personal questions seem to get thrown back in our faces (no offense to you) there is a genealogy section in here to have asked that question..again no offense to you but alot of us have gotten burned on this before. And just in case to protect those that have answered:
OK, yes, my ancestors came from somewhere other than North America. So did yours. So did everyone Else's, in fact —including those of the Native Americans.
No matter where you live in the world, in fact, you have an ancestor from somewhere else.
In other words, every nation is a "nation of immigrants;" the slogan is meaningless and certainly no basis for public policy.
Just because a policy was appropriate in the past does not mean it is necessarily eternally good. That my ancestors were immigrants is irrelevant to the formation of a prudent public policy today.
If my ancestors were pioneers, am I constrained to advocate expansionism?
My ancestors came to The US from Ireland during the Potato Famine during the mid 19th century.
