+1 I don't think this is something to be proud of. Your ancestors are the reasons mine were here, and also the reason why I'll NEVER know my history beyond a few generations.
+2
They are the reason my ancestors got smallpox, and evidently lost the privilege to be known as native.
Nevermind the fact they started the rumor that Columbus discovered god land my people were already living on.
+3 And continue to celebrate the man!!

Don't you know that the spoils go to the victors? Hence YT's ways and beliefs are the right way and the truth.

Neither. Lineage is a simple fact that people have no control over.

I saw a Descendants of the Mayflower license plate today. Didn't even know that existed. How pretentious.

Anonymous wrote:3 direct ancestors of mine traveled on the mayflower; my mother's maiden name is the surname of one of them (so 8 generations of males carrying the name, then my mother). We have actually traced that genealogical line back to the 1400's England. I look forward to visiting the graveyard that still has some of those 600+ year old headstones.
This is really cool.
Best I've got is Ireland, 1870s

Some of my family came on the Mayflower and some came to Jamestown even earlier.
And, my husband immigrated in the 1970s. So our kids have both somewhat old and very recent immigrants in their background.
