Well, if you're going to make it all serious... based on genealogical research, I'd say that just about everyone is a little bit of everything if you go back far enough. Pretty much all of my family has been on the East Coast since the at least the 1700s, but if you trace me down far enough there's Dutch, Irish, Scottish, English, French, probably a little German, and a distant bit of Cherokee, too. I've had the most luck tracing the Dutch line down. Those people kept tremendous records, even in the New Netherland colony.
