Have to go pretty far up the family tree for that, sadly; they most likely came here on a wooden ship. Based on some hereditary physical traits, we're from somewhere around France and Spain. I'm descended from Oklahoma great depression poor folk on one side and a mix of military and tradesmen on the other.

Any family who could corroborate any kind of genealogy is dead, no longer mentally there due to old age, or deeply estranged.

Have a degree? Otherwise, keep your head down and wait until some country opens up for refugees.
