4. The "British Isles" part of my family has been her quite awhile

Pre-Civil war - no idea when they came before that.

They married other people with similar names. (Brown, Smith, Jones, Gray a bunch of generic names)
My mom is an Appalachian mutt, which means Scots Irish married Scots Irish, if you know what I mean.

It is funny how the German/French is there but no British Isles.
And this is the most generic population out there.

I found it interesting that they got my dad's stuff down to a Tee. (I thought his stuff would turn out weird, because there are so few Armenians)
