My surname is French, but since I was born here and my ancestors were in what is now the U.S.A. long before the Revolution, I’m sure not the hell French! I’m an American.
You,too?
Gee Id be Dutch-American but since that was nearly 400 years ago...
and English-American...or is that Anglo-American..
and French-American too..
Oh and Irish-American...
and then theres that crowd from the Palatine who make me a German-American..
and Canadian-American, and New Zealander-American..
Guess I’m just a thorough-bred American..
My husband is an American of Hispanic descent. I just posted his dad’s World War II photo where he was permanently disabled serving his country. He served in the Pacific as an MP. My husband’s great great grandfather was a Texan from the Republic of Texas when Texas encompassed a good portion of what is now New Mexico. I believe in legal immigration, but everyone needs to be careful and realize that not everyone with a Hispanic last name can even be called an immigrant. My WASP ancestor, Samuel Boone, probably arrived after my husband’s ancestors. I am the more recent immigrant.
