@Annabellethecat66,

Do you think the "ancestry company that will remain nameless" is legit? I often wonder if it is. It is a pretty lucrative success story, yet just how can they ever be proven or disproven by their average customer? I just mention this because those that use them are probably genuinely in the dark about their heritage. Just pondering after I read your post.

I was a citizen of Canada even after I was married and moved to the US in 1963. Got a Visa, carried a green card, and registered as a Resident Alien every January till the late 1980's when they mysteriously ended that. I became a US citizen in 2004. Paid a $300 or so registration fee, got fingerprinted for the umpteenth time, took a test, and was sworn in. I guess that makes me an immigrant who is a citizen of the US.

My paternal relatives all told such grandiose "stories".........(I mean, if they were "true".........I'd be sitting on a throne somewhere instead of my bathroom.)

I have never been "in the dark" about my ancestry. I have tested with all three companies. They all match each other and they all match my genealogy research dating back to the 1500s.

I'm a Natural Born (moved from the UK to US as a teen) due to parents being US citizens. DH became one at 35. Our children are US born citizens.

All of us in America came from immigrants, every one of us.

"Native Americans" are The First Americans.

There used to be a land bridge from what we think of as Russia/Siberia, from there to around Alaska. 

Those we know as The First Americans crossed that bridge and came to America, also, long ago.

I would say that most of us are fairly recent immigrants looking at the history of human inhabitants of our country.

I never was interested in my ancestors.

My family is red, white and blue.
