And, didn't the original native Asians come from Africa? And, didn't the original native Europeans come from Africa, by way of Asia? We're all African-Americans!

From a biblical perspective, all humans originated in Mesopotamia in western Asia, so that would make us all Asian-Americans.

If you can find out ~ go with the lab that Henry Lewis Gates Jr. uses.

I've done 23 and me and also ancestry. It's gotten the 5 ones I know about as I mentioned in my first post. You'll get other small percentages sprinkles in as well. I have German and Hungarian on my mom's side. I'm guessing the sprinkling of Ukraine Poland was from them branching out ..
You'll get variations though. I had the most from Spain on 23 and me and France on ancestry. I know my father and his parents are from Cuba but the 2 sides came over from France and Spain respectively
Both of those sites though are fun. And the apps both update without paying for the monthly pay features

I'm as WASPy as they come.
My Moms side of the family came over with William Penn.

I will be telling the 2020 census I’m American.
All of my great-grandparents on both sides of my families were born here. If you go back far enough, I’ve got German, Irish, Welsh and probably a lot of other countries in Northern Europe. I’m curious to do one of those DNA tests

ronnie will probably put on a poncho and sombrero, and pencil in a thin Sharpie moustache if you'd like to change that.
Wow, that comment was cheesy.

Were they Quakers?

I don't think so, but not entirely sure. It's a good chance they were indentured servants.

67% Ireland & Scotland
33% England, Wales, Northwestern Europe
When I first had my DNA tested a number of years ago, Ancestry broke it down further. It said the 67% was Ireland, specifically Rosscommon, which is exactly where my great-grandfather emigrated from. Also, I had 1% South Seas. I figure one of my ancestors must have been in the English Navy!

American.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you the slightest bit of information on where my ancestors came from, and I really have no desire to know. To me, it has zero affect on my life today. I am American and proud to be an America. I don't call myself an Irish American or an African American, etc. Just American, for me.
