Position:Home>Genealogy> What Nationality Are You?


Question:My nationality is American and nothing else.

However, my ancestry is a number of things.

Your nationality is only one thing unless you have dual citizenship.

I had ancestors at the first permanent English settlement in the U.S., the Jamestown colony. I also had ancestors that some people state crossed an ice bridge from East Asia thousands of years ago and were here to meet the Vikings, the English, the Spanish, the French and even St. Brendan. However, a person who was naturalized in a federal courthouse somewhere in the U.S. this past week, their nationality is just as American as mine is.

In the colonial South, they had English, Scots, Scotch Irish, Germans (called Dutch in colonial days), and French Huguenots. My maternal grandmother who was born in 1873 was a blend of all those people but her nationality was nothing but American. She married my grandfather in 1899, who was a mixture of Pole, Polish Jew, Native American, German with a little English but his nationality was nothing but American.

My father's people were Irish, orange and green, but the nationality of his people has been nothing but American for many generations.

Nationality is not the same thing as the country your ancestors came from. That was your ancestors' nationality until they became a naturallized American citizen.
