South Dakota... German descent? More recent immigrants (compared to some)? Am I in the right ballpark? My father is half Seneca. My ancestors on that side “met the Mayflower”, so to speak. The other side of my father’s family goes back to late 1770s Virginia. You don’t get any more natural-born than that. My mother’s ancestors fled anti-Jewish persecution in England and helped found the town of Newport, Rhode Island around 1700. So to answer your question, no, I have no “prejudice in favor” of the Brits. My mother’s family came to this country more than 300 years ago. My father’s family has been here for thousands of years. Do you have “prejudice in favor” of the Germans?

Planted in SD when I was an infant, born & bred English (maternal)Welsh MD in 1664 & (paternal)Saxon VA 1624 & eligible to join the daughters of the revolution. Revolutionary ancestors were Federal judge and a US Congressman on my paternal side and diplomat on maternal side as well as a host of fighting patriot soldiers for the US.

Any more questions?
