"That is a pretty impressive lineage you have there."

Yeah, if it's actually true, but you have to take the hints you get on Ancestry.com. They use other people's trees to share those hints with you, and they're not 100% accurate. One thing going for me is that my DNA shows 59% England, Wales, and Northwestern Europe. There's a lot of Dutch in there. My Dad was born in Holland in 1904, but there's Dutch, and quite a bit of Germanic Empire in there too, on my mother's side. She was born in Canada. Nobody knew about the Dutch or German on her side, nor the small amounts pf Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, and Norway mixed in.

I meant to say you have to take the Ancestry.com hints with a grain of sand. Never finished the sentence properly.
