Yep.. im 10 gen... 1635 to Plymouth Colony
And 6 gen back to grandfather that fought Revolutionary War join up 1777 in Massachusetts
11th generation here... 1637, also to Plymouth Colony ...also 2nd generation through Ellis Island on the other side of the family. All these ancestors were (or quickly became) Americans.
Like you, Ann, and others here I don't think we need to bow, genuflect, or apologize to the current gods of Political Correctness for being Americans - real ones, not the ones these PC buffoons have constructed in their Liberal sociology classes and their own minds.
Hmmmm. Did your Grandparents10 know my Grandparents10? Most likely. . .
