Both my parents were adopted out of foster homes In the 1930's. They both landed up in Nebraska.
Our heritage is unknown. We are Americans, and we don't know who are real ancestors are.

No difficult questions. I answered my ethics as Scotch Irish, they really don't care where your from.  It was easy and nothing you should be afraid to answer.

Completed mine this morning.  That question was confusing.

I did mine on Monday this week and I only got the online letter with code.  So quick and easy.

@Zaimee I disagree. What you identify with isn't necessarily what you are.

I filled it out and there were a couple things I quesitoned.  1 With all of the LGBTQ issues I was suprised that Male and Female were the only options 2.  two of my children are hispanic and that is not considered a Race for the survey.  I find that crazy because that is a huge population in the US.

@Mindy D , didn't consider going any further back than where my ancestors entering via Ellis Island were coming from.

 

Decided they're not looking for my genetic makeup, but rather immigration pattern....sort of....

Wish their intent had been clear.


 

 

That question could have something to do with minority funding. That's my hunch. @x Hedge
