How recently did your family arrive?
 
Most recently: My father's grandfather immigrated from England.

Least recently: My mother's sister was in the Daughters of the American Revolution.

My mother's Father came here in the early 1920s from Austria
and her Mother came here around the same time from Russia.

My father's parents came from Germany and were complete idiots who passed that onto their sons and the less said about them, the better, other than the nicest thing anyone in his family ever did was die.

Since you're interested, all my ancestors came from the British Isles before the Revolution, as far as I'm aware.

I managed to mix the blood up a bit in the next generation though.

1628 & 1913

Paternal - English great grandfather and German great grandmother.
Maternal - Irish great grandfather and American Indian great grandmother



I don't know when my ancestors arrived. It would be interesting to find out.

My lineage is too varied to answer accurately, but I DO know that S.Janney was on the boat of and employed by William Penn. (Dad's side)

I had 4 ancestors on the Mayflower in 1620.

Also, my brother just married a Canadian like 5 years ago. So some members of my family just got here.

Both sets of grandparents came over at the same time.

1978. All of us.

Though we have been accused of being 'wetbacks', I arrived on a 747.

My great-great-grandparents were full-blooded Shawnee.

My dad's side came from Switzerland. Late 1800s.

And whatever else is mixed in there.
