It's not really true –– my dad found some dude in our genealogy (lol Mormons) named John Chapman so he always bragged to us we were Appleseedlings or whatevs BUT it turned out this John Chapman was born in the 1800s. Wrong guy. I was a gullible kid. My dad told me my mom was an alien and I think I believed this until age 12 or so. -_-

Another relative. Not terribly cool, but he did look like he could play a surprise set with Will Oldham.

I think I'm maxed out at one Mayflower + Sam Houston. There's probably some DAR/UDC in there too but no one can be bothered, honestly.

wow - obvs there's a ton of stuff in virginia named after confederate generals but it's kind of amazing to me that a current US Army installation is named after one (fort ap hill).
afaik i have no family here going back any earlier than the late 19th century - scandinavian/eastern european immigrants.

Yeah, me neither. I'm 1st generation on my dad's side and my mom's grandparents were from Yugoslavia.

I don't think any of the strains of my family tree (which are pretty disparate - one grandfather was half-Choctaw, one grandmother was born in Saskatchewan and adopted by first-generation immigrant Russian Mennonites, etc.) got to North America after the turn of the 19th century. Too bad none of them managed to make any money in all that time.

I guess some distant Powells in Virginia with a lot of land, but my great-grandfather lost most of his farm during the Depression.

wait Primark is called Penny's in Ireland? I was not aware. I sort of love Primark for cheap accessories and tank tops. I am not ashamed. OK, maybe only a little.
