Welch---There is a possibility that my ancestors got offered the rope
or the boat (forced emigration to the colonies) before the American revolution.

English---One relative was an English school teacher that also emigrated to Massachusetts before the revolution.

Scots-Irish--- Lowland Scotts that first were sent to Northern Ireland as a buffer between the Irish and the English (or so I have read). I don't no when their emegration to the states occurred but I think it was after the American revolution but before the Irish potato famine.

French---My Grandmother's family were of French heritage. When my Grandmother was about nine, her mother died. Her father was very distraught and did not feel capable of raising his daughter. She was then adopted by some close friends of the family.

There might also be a we bit of German or other northern European cultures. Like Isaac, I'm pretty much a North American mutt.
