Yep. That’s true of every person. The only question is how much digging do your enemies want to do.
A good example of that is Sen. Elizabeth Warren. One of her ancestors falsely claimed to be a Cherokee to get special privileges.
Oh, wait. That was Sen. Warren herself.
On my mother’s side, her family fought in the Revolutionary War......against the revolution. They had a huge land grant from King George, so fought as loyalists for Great Britain.
She also has a president in her lineage. Unfortunately, it was the president of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis
