Examples: I am Russian-American but have never been to Russia. A colleague of mine, Mohammed, is from Egypt, so he is African-American.
My wife is a naturalized American citizen, which means she was not born in the US. She was 24 when she left her country for the first time in her life, she came here to the US and we got married. Since arriving in the US, she has returned at least ten times for vacations.

The country or countries of my ancestors’ origins are unknown. I have traveled to over 20 foreign countries in my lifetime, so there is a slight possibility that I have unknowingly been in a country of my ancestors’ origins.
