Wouldn't it be amazing, to be able to know that your ancestors were among the first settlers (even before Jamestown) in America?

I have some from "James Cittie." I have some Cherokee and Creek as well. So, this "earliest settler" business doesn't mean that much to me, even though it apparently has some kind of snob value to some people, usually WASP-ey or WASP-aspiring northerners. Everybody I knew growing up came from families that had been here so long that they didn't really "know" where their ancestors came from before America. I didn't know this was considered unusual until I went away to college.
