Geneology

[Verily]

George Washington was my first cousin ten times removed. (I am descended from his mother's sister.)

My great-grandparents eloped, my great-grandmother having been the daughter of wealthy aristocrats in Alabama and my great-grandfather having been very poor.

Of my great-grandparents, at least six of eight could trace roots back to colonial America; of the others, one's ancestry disappears into the morass of Irish immigrants in New York City and the other's parents had immigrated from Sweden to Indiana.

And you are also at least partly Roman, if I remember correctly. 

Well, going by appearances, anyway. There's no way I could be Briton, Scandinavian or Anglo-Saxon in ancestry with hair and skin my color, but my ancestry can be traced, in the long term, to rural England and Scotland.

Unless you're dark enough to pass for Subsaharan, that's an absurd statement to make.

LOL, well, okay. You find me someone with olive skin and black hair with "vetted" Anglo-Norman, Celtic or Briton ancestry.
