People who consider themselves white have some revelatory moments in the Library of Congress genealogy section, according to this book.

You mean the part where there are more "whites" with a black African slave ancestor than there are "blacks" with such an ancestor?

There are also vast numbers of "whites" with a white Scandinavian slave ancestor, and they have no idea the ancestor arrived after having been kidnapped in the far North by Swedes, or that they even have ancestors from Scandinavia.

Lucky researchers quickly find the prison barges with their Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Irish ancestors who arrived before the Revolution.

BTW, when I find one of those guys in the line I make him into one of "God's New Men" ~ who has no ancestors. That usually cuts off any English ancestry such a person might have had.
