Hey me too, on my dads side. Then add Seminole on my mothers. Sir John Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake are direct ancestors.  Had family serve under the great general Robert E Lee, who in every generation,  we name a boy after him. My middle name being no exexception, first born usually.

11th generation American.  The 1st Tower came to the shores of Massacusetts in 1637.  Irish & Cherokee on my mothers side. I'm 1/4 Cherokee.  English on my fathers . All the way back to 1066. That's when my family was given lands & titles.  There has always been a designated family record keeper. I have a family signet ring that is several hunderd yrs old.

Mom's side is easy Great Grandpa was full blood Scott and Great Grandma was full blood Welsh. From a prominent family who helped found the Williams and Marry college, I think that's the one. Her Dad was Mostly Scott and a little bit Mohegan, grew up in the Red River Valley. Grandma was born and raised in Silver Lake Oregon. Dads side is not so simple. A little German with a German name, Scott, Irish, English, Shoshone, And I think Norwegian. Bottom line as Tim put it I too am an American Mutt and D@%b proud of it. Dad and parents came to Oregon from Arkansas 1949. Moms Grandparents came to Oregon from back east 1901 I think.

I actually took a DNA test to verify the family NA component. Turns out the oral family history was incorrect, no NA bloodline in our history.

 Southern European

 Uncertain 5%

On my dad's side, Mountain Maidu from Northern California and perhaps a bit of somewhere in the UK, I have heard Welsh not sure though.
On my mom's side, Turtle Mountain Chippewa, French-Canadian, German, English and Irish I think.

Certain that's true for me.

There is an entire "band" of Cherokee that has absolutely no native blood in them according to DNA!  Doesn't stop them any!
