One of the last people you'd expect to have an American ancestor (who doesn't live in the USA) is Queen Eliabeth II. Her 6th great grandfather was Rev. Robert Porteus who was born in 1705 in Virginia He moved back to England with his family around 1720. He got an BA and an MA from Peterhouse, Cambridge and became a clergyman.
When Robert was age 27, a second cousin of his, George Washington was born. So Queen Elizabeth is a 2nd cousin (7 generations removed) of George Washington. She is also a 4th cousin to General Robert E. Lee.
Queen Elizabeth's ancestor who emigrated was Col. Augustine Warner Sr. who at the age of 18 under the reign of Charles I of England came to America (1628).
Would 1705 and 1628 really count as the USA did not yet exist at those times?
It isn't its not on the north american plate or on the shelf.
This is my last post on this subject. I really have no idea why you just don't get it. Maps are wrong, everybody who says PR is part of North America is wrong, but somehow you are the only one who knows the truth.
Once again.
"North America, the planet’s 3rd largest continent, includes (23) countries and dozens of possessions and territories. It contains all Caribbean and Central America countries, Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, the United States of America, as well as Greenland - the world’s largest island.
Positioned in the planet's northern and western hemispheres, it's bordered in the north by the Arctic Ocean, in the east by the Atlantic Ocean, in the southeast by the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean.
Additional North American countries (not shown on this map) include: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines and Trinidad & Tobago. "
Most just know enough English to get by, my parents have been in Australia for 40 odd years, they should be fluent in the language but they speak very little of it, reason being from the moment they arrived until now they have always worked with or for people who share the same native language as them. Many were/are still like that.

I truly believe he didn't know PR was part of North America. I've met people in Europe etc who didn't even realize Mexico is part of North America.
