16. My mom's European family came to PA in the 1630's, and bought a lot of land

from the Penn boys (William Penn's sons). They have deeds on file at the appropriate courthouse. The rest of mom's family was Osage Indians and were already here.Can't prove or disprove much about that.
My dad and his mom came here from Germany in 1920 and have all their papers; both became US citizens, so I am, since I was born here in PA...BUT-I don't have a government birth certificate, only one from a hospital...So I guess I can never be president. (Good thing for some people, too...)
