What was the other 5%? My sister married and had 6 kids with a decendant of George Washington, not that he cares, (and his mothers maden last name is literally Washington) but it goes to show how far back the mixing of backgrounds is going even amongst modern day people.
George Washington had no biological children; thus, no descendants.
Why does anyone even care about their bloodlines??
People get interested in genealogy for a lot of reasons, but for me it really boils down to connecting with history. I get a charge out of knowing my gg-grandfather was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga, that my 9-times g-grandmother was charged with witchcraft in Salem, and that my 12 times g-grandfather crossed the Atlantic to the Massachusetts Bay Colony 1636. I enjoy knowing the origin of my very unusual maiden surname and why my father's ancestors fled to the United States from Western Europe in the middle of the eighteenth century, eventually marrying into a Quaker family from North Carolina. (Many people don't know that there were Quakers living in the south prior to the Civil War.) I have learned so much history by investigating my forebears, much more than I absorbed in high school history class, and I find it thrilling to know how my family fits into it all.

Jesus Christ on a Popsicle stick. Its not about your genetic back ground its about the ability of a nation to control its boarders. If you don't get that by now I doubt you ever will.
border: the line or frontier area separating political divisions or geographic regions; a boundary
boarder: one who pays a stipulated sum in return for regular meals or for meals and lodging.
