re: Do you personify certain stereotypes of your heritage

Yeah, I have traced my ancestry, most of my family ties go back to England but there are certainly some to Scotland or Northern Ireland (which was settled by Scots).
I have noticed certain patterns when it comes to the Europeans in the South, seems like people on the east coast are often completely English or occasionally random recent immigrants, then you get west and they are a mix of English and Scottish. Of course southern Louisiana is French (I think maybe parts of Mississippi too). Maybe Spaniards in Florida and Louisiana here and there. But Texas is a hodge podge. It was settled by Germans, Czechs, Spaniards/Mexicans, and to a lesser extent people from other countries came as well, Danish, Dutch, Austrian (my family is all of these), plus other groups like Irish, Polish, Belgians, etc.
Also seems like people in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and especially Texas and Oklahoma have more Indian blood than the other southern states.
As you can see I have really thought this through lol...

Why is everyone in this thread Irish, Scottish, or English?
