I am descended from people who came from:

England
Germany
American Indian (Cherokee)
 

Ascendents? ;)

My dad's not my real dad and my mom's adopted. That was a pain for a long time, BUT about two years ago, we found my bio-dad's family. I am 50% Finnlander. My grandparents came over, my dad was born here.
 
Both of my parents were born in the United States, but Dad's parents came over from Italy. My mother's came to this country from Russia/Austria.
Have the family trees with all the branches documented for both sides, along with the Ellis Island records when they first arrived in New York in the early 1900's. (interesting stuff to read)

Me.. just another American Mutt.
 
I'm descended from Boudicca of the Iceni but I can't prove it because the paperwork has been lost
however one look at my mum and you just know it must be true.

Seriously though, my ancestors on the female side were English Methodists and Irish Catholics. On the male side they were English, probably C of E, and Scots Presbyterians. All arrived here in the first hundred years of white settlement. No convicts that we can identify.
 
My Dads side is German and American orphan. My Moms side is Norwegian and American/English dating back to the 1700.s

My ancient ancestors forsook the trees in Africa about 5 million years ago and wandered the land always on the lookout for food, shelter and safety. Eventually some of them crossed the Red Sea and beach combed the shores of the Indian Ocean. Later some of them followed game animals into Europe. More recently, my ancestors were white-skinned Europeans. ;)

Lol.
 
My mother was born in France and adopted by an American. My grandfather, father and I were born in California. my grandparents were English, German and possibly Mohican.
 
Paternal grandfather from Canada/grandmother from Cornwall; maternal grandparents born in US, grandfather's parents from England via Canada and grandmother's parents from Germany.
 
Both of my Parents were born in America and their parents came from Italy. So according to ancestry records(cousins on both sides of my family are addicted to Ancestry) found that the family is 100% Italian before coming to America.
 
A couple of cousins did the genealogy and traced fathers line in US since early 1700s. DNA test confirm I'm the whitest guy you'll every know - all ancestry from England/Germany/Finland/Scotland/Ireland + 2.7% Neanderthal.

Explains why I can't dance or jump.
