Early 1700’s.
First male worked for a French shipping company in LaHavre and was sent over to establish the port of New Orleans.
He met his wife who had been expelled from Paris for being incorrigible and extremely promiscuous. She came over on the prostitute ship even though she wasn’t a prostitute. She was giving it away for free and her step mother and the Madam at the brothel conspired to get rid of her.
True story.

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.
sounds like a 5 dollar Indian to me

Why would you apologize for something that you had nothing to do with?
If there are people who think people whose ancestors owned slaves need to apologize.. They can go frick themselves.

My namesake ancestors arrived first in Maryland from England sometime in the mid-17th century.
Another ancestor arrived in Charleston,South Carolina around that same time. He came from France which has always baffled me since at that time Britain & France were mortal enemies. My only guess is he was some sort of criminal or perhaps maybe even involved in piracy. All I know for sure is he arrived in Charleston around the 1640s named Jacob de Lascaux (I think thats how its spelled) then changed his name to Jacob Dillashaw.
My family first arrived in Alabama around the 1820s, settled along the Tennessee river close to present day Guntersville, and started a rather large cotton farm.
(I learned all this from my late greet-aunt who spent years putting together a family tree. What’s most impressive about whet she did is that she did it all before the internet)

My family were Germans farming in Russia. Came to the US in the late 1920s. Good timing as the German farmers who remained in Russia were sent to the gulags

Different places. I've done the research, and ALL of my ancestors who came over from Europe came on sailing vessels prior to steamships (two-- way far back-- were Native American).
All of my ancestors were here in the New World before the American Revolution.
Most of my dad's side were in Acadia and became Cajuns. Some were from Germany and France and came straight to Louisiana.
My mom's side was from England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany and Switzerland. Most of my maternal grandfather's side were in Pennsylvania, my maternal grandmother's side came in via Maryland and later resettled in western Kentucky.
I've seen graves of my ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War (both sides).

Just to expand. My family dodged a bullet here:
During the Great Purge of 1936 to 1938, the Soviet government began targeting ethnic groups who were part of the intellectual class such as the Volga Germans, who were then subjected to forced deportation and extreme repression, some tens of thousands were also killed during the massacres in Belarus. They were deported eastward, which caused many thousands of deaths. Finally, in 1941, by order of Stalin, all ethnic Germans of Russia were deported to forced labor gulag concentration camps located in Siberia and other areas of Central Asia, leading to genocide. Later, with the opening of the borders after the collapse of the Soviet Union, several survivors chose to emigrate to Germany.

I’d have probably hit it with extreme vigor back in the day.
Incorrigible and extremely promiscuous would have intrigued 1730-era me.
So I could have been your ggggggggran pere.

Italy. Early 1900's. Heavily discriminated against, even by the US government during WWII, but somehow we came out fine. I don't know how other groups get away with blaming the current climate on the sins of past generations.

My last name comes from my Dad's side. Immigrated to NYC, had a Jewish sounding last name from the Austro-Hungarian area. Lopped off the ethnic sounding ending so people wouldn't think he was Jewish, lived in a very anti-semitic part of the city.
But my name on TD comes from my grandmother's side who this ancestor eventually married. Gravestone pictured below. Married a 100% Native American.

France -> Nova Scotia -> Avoyelles Parish
All before the USA existed and way before Louisiana was part of it.
That's my Dad's side... truthfully don't know exactly when my Mom's side came over but definitely multiple generations back.
