Great grandma from Northern Ireland, a couple of great-greats from Czech Republic and Ireland. A good number came over in colonial times.

How do Americans know so much about their heritage but so little about everything else
Probably the 1700s. Peasant stock all the way, from the U.S. perspective. My mother’s ancestors were Native and French indentured servants, Pop’s were African and Haitian slaves.
