Well, yes. I'm eighth generation North Carolinian. My Grands were here before the state or nation was.

My great (no sure how many more 'greats' after that) granddad was born 1657 in North Carolina.
53% dixie. I guess cause I'm from southern Ohio(O-hi-ya)
Got you beat. 10th generation North Carolinian. Family's been in Carteret County since the 1720's.
Sadly, I now live in VA.
Same here. Growing up in a military town bleached out a lot of southernisms, but I'm still 78% Southern. I bet you also had a problem with the answer about drive-thru liquor stores. I totally guessed at it, because we don't have any drive-thru liquor stores in NC (that I know of), but it says "brew-thru" is common to VA and NC.
83% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
Yep. Their grand-folks settled in Indian territory about 80 miles from the coast. Of Georgia.
Other side of the family was from the Colony of North Carolina.
My NC ancestors are Abraham and Mourning (Monie) Denton, several great grandparents' back. Abraham was one of the signers of the Rowan Resolves, the precursor to the Declaration of Independence. I think Abraham and that bunch of guys were in the throes of realization that they were on the brink of revolution. I'm sure they went through all the inner conflicts imaginable before they finally had to acknowledge that , alas, the Mother Country didn't hold the "colonies" in all that much esteem.
