No the so called “Native Americans” came from someplace else, too...
No lollypop for you...
The thing is, dumbo, your pet illegal aliens came from someplace else, uninvited, without prior permission...
in other words ILLEGALLY ...they broke the law and continue to break the law...
My forebears were invited by the owners of this land to come here...
First the Dutch, and then the English...
I have no illegal alien ancestors...
1623/4 My Huguenot/Walloons on the New Netherland to NYC had permission fron the Dutch crown to come here..
1630 My Suffolk family came to English colony, MASS with Gov Winthrop..
1645 My Dutch supercargo on a ship belonging to the Dutch West India Company had permission to stay and settle in the Dutch colony, New Netherland...(later New York after 1664)
1680 The English crown sent my refugee Huguenot family here to their colony, New York
1710 Queen Anne of England sent my Palatine German family among 3,000 to the Livinston Manor area, across from Albany in her English colony..
1720 My Catholic Irish family came here from Ulster to the east bank of the Hudson River below Renssalaer indentured to Livingston, who was a rich land owner with the privilige to have “guest workers”
and so on...
I havent found one ancestor who broke into the country...
and my few families to New Zealand from 1850 on are similarly accounted for...all legally English crown and or Church of England sent new settlers...
I came here AFTER jumping through every required hoop and satisfying the immigration laws...
Wow...we share a lot of the same ancestry. On my dads side (my grandpa and before) were Hugenots from French Flanders...first going to Rhineland Palatinate.....then to New Paltz NY. The original house from the 17th C is still around in New Paltz
My moms side is German....and I was born there. There is also Polish and Jewish on her side of family
