re: Where did your family immigrate from and when did they come to this beautiful country?

Germany 1810
UK 1830

Nola for 11 generations till my dad took us out in 78....

God bless him

1800s from Wales first time and then I came back 10/17/1982.

My Grandfather went back to fight in WW1 early on well before USA joined in and stayed there afterwards becoming a British citizen again. So my family has immigrated here twice.

Some were Huguenots and originated in France, probably left there with their lives under threat 300ish years ago, bounced around for a few generations, and ended up in the US in the mid to late 1800s.

A branch of my family originated in Poland, migrated to Switzerland and founded a little farming village there, and my great great grandparents left everybody they knew there and made a new life in Wisconsin in the late 1800s.

Some from Scotland. No idea when they got here.

After getting to the US, some were run out of the area around Stone Mountain, Ga for making liquor at home, and that’s how they ended up in Louisiana.

The best documented line is Belfast to Charleston 1788

Italy and Holland 1910’s

England and Greece.

Mostly England in the 1600s. They went to Virginia, the Carolinas, and then what became Alabama. Building new settlements and homesteading in wild Indian wilderness. They were not immigrants, they were settlers.

Costa Rica and Chile. Early 1900s

Irish, Scottish, Italian and North Africa.

I have a fairly decent amount of Cherokee blood, so I’ve got family that stretches back into prehistory.

A lot of my family came over around the turn of the 18th Century. Mainly from GB, Ireland, Germany, and France. All landed along the coast from Virginia to South Carolina.

Yes some folks in my family tree owned a plantation. Yes they owned slaves. No, I do not feel the need to apologize.

ETA: both sides started heading southwest fairly early on in this nation’s history after they won independence. Ended up in Richland/Lincoln Parish area from my mom’s side around the Civil War. Dad’s side ended up in Oklahoma/Texas area around the Civil War.
