[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of us with Scots Irish or Irish Protestant ancestors just think of ourselves as American, because our ancestors arrived in the 1600s and 1700s and intermarried with English, Scottish, and others over the years. If you look at the Ancestry profiles for a lot of middle-aged and older white Southerners they are a mix of English/Northern European, Irish, Scottish, and Scandinavian. A not insignificant percentage will have some African ancestry as well. [/quote] This. My Irish ancestor came to New England (as an indentured servant) in the 1690s. I'm quite sure he was Catholic when he arrived, but that didn't last.[/quote] And yes, if you ask me my ethnicity, I will say: Swedish, English, Irish. But I don't consider any of them part of my identity, and on my census form I put "American."[/quote]
