Often Scottish or Irish Americans and Canadians have no connection to their roots..



They've never been to either country/jurisdiction, they know next to nothing about their contemporary cultures, and they may not have even met a person from either country..



But, they identify as Scottish or Irish Americans and Canadians.

Well, Scots are not as rich as the Asians, and therefore us po' white folk cant afford to fly overseas  ac_sothere



lol



I just know my roots. Maybe not all, but I like knowing.



I know on my mothers side, they are Irish, with Native American and German mixed in. German dominantly on my great grandfathers side, and Native American on my great grandmothers side. The Native American my aunt I thought was Cherokee, but supposedly its Sioux, according to another aunt, who knows lol. I know that both my great grandparents on my mothers side moved up to Salem, VA on a horse and buggy in the 40's from Franklin County (moonshine capital of the world). There they bought a brand new brick home for a mere $3000.



I know on my dads side, I can go back as far as my great, great, great grandfather John. I have a picture of James, my great great grandfather. He was the one in the Civil War. John is the one that supposedly came over from Ireland, and is of Scots Irish decent, and was part of the Buchanan Clan. They are all mostly buried in Buchanan up the road from me. Where they burned a bridge to keep invading Northern forces from coming across the river.



I have been to Frankly County and Buchanan many times, but this po' boy aint ever been overseas lol.
