I think that's it. but the family on my European side is a bit muddled. lost lots of documentation a number of years ago and have been trying to recover it since

I'm an American.

x% muscogee
x% saponi
i've found it about impossible to pinpoint the amount of muscogee due the nature of the rolls, and saponi because of lack of records for about a hundred years since they joined with the iroquois. so it could even be iroquois instead of saponi. most of my family still lives in or around cherokee nc though.

I am of emigrant stock. To the best of my knowledge, I am approximately:
25% Norwegian
25% Czech
25% Purssian (Gollnick is a Prussian name)
25% Irish (the part that doesn't show much)
The best explaination of Prussia I have ever heard is: sometimes Polish, sometimes Russian, sometimes German, always confused. It was absorbed non-violently by Nazi Germany in 1934 and not reconstituted after WWII. Most of my ancestors came to the US as refugees fleeing WWI.

German/Irish here I understand there may be a Frenchman in the woodpile if you go back some generations....
St. Louis was the stopping-point for a big wave of German Catholic immigration back in the 20s or so; I don't know if they were already seeing the handwriting on the wall in Germany....
I think the Irish came along later, and they found a more receptive attitude here than in many states due to the large Catholic presence, a situation that continues to this day.
