re: White Americans think they are mostly German but they are mostly British

My dad's family and last name came from the Palitinate region of Germany to Virginia in the 1700s.
My German ancestors quickly mixed with Scot-Irish and English from the South. I'd say my dad's side is 60% Scot-Irish, 20% English, and 20% German.
My mom's side of family is 60% Scot-Irish, 35% English, and 5% Cherokee.
One common thing is most of my ancestors followed a similar migration pattern. South Carolina > Alabama > Mississippi

Yeah same in my family. Started in Virginia in 1600s. Moved to NC, then SC. After Cumberland Gap opened, moved across Appalachia into TN, AL, KY, etc.
