How far back are your immigrant ancestors? (plantation, rich)

That's great! Do you have any unicorn blood in you? I wasn't able to track back my ancestry longer than that, as the dark and strange matter led me to a full halt.

No, sorry.

Here is my grandmother, 5 billion years ago:

Alright guys, we don't want another debate about religion, do we? At least, I certainly don't. Further posts on the subject will be deleted.

Exactly. Don't be so bloody illmannered

[Ariete]

If someone has the nerve to claim he's an ancestor of Adam and Eve, correcting his false claims ain't ill-mannered nor a religious debate.

But that's it. Back to the real subject now.

My most recent immigrant ancestor is my grandfather on my mum's side; he was born in Germany. After that, pretty much all of my great-grandparents were born in Europe.

I had a great grandmother on my mother's side who immigrated from Poland in the 1920s--before that the rest of my great great grandparents on my mom's side all immigrated from Poland to the Midwestern cities at the end of the 19th Century(all Polish from what we know).

On my dad's side the most recent would have been great-great-great grandparents who came over from Ireland in the mid 1800s and the earliest descendent to immigrate would've been from Germany to Virginia just a few years before 1700(and married a Native American woman). The namesake of my dad's family surname would've immigrated to Virginia from England around the late 1700s.

I don't know a quarter of my ancestors though, because my paternal grandmother was adopted and we don't know her ethnic heritage(she might have been of German Jewish descent) and she was raised by Mormons.

Everyone came over in the 1860's. Great grandparent's generation.

I was born in Mexico, but I am still a Mexican citizen, so not sure if that counts. My grandparents on my fathers side moved to mexico, not really to immigrate, they just never left due to problems back in Germany (ww2 and the commies after that). No idea when my mothers side of the family moved to Mexico. They claim they are mostly irish, but might have some french or Spaniard in there. Prolly mid 1800s. Most of my family lives here in the US now tho

Both of my parents were refugees who fled Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime.
