  • I am surprised only one caught onto the misnomer. Descendents are those who come after, your children and grandchildren, etc. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at April 23, 2017 2:45 PM MDT

  • I noticed the word was changed to "ascendents", um, not getting better. The word we're looking for is "ancestors".

    My question doesn't seem to bother anyone else but you.
    If you don't want to answer it, you are welcome to skip it.

    "Ancestors" is accurate; so would be "antecededents."

  • My ancestors were originally Czechoslovakian, however, as time went on, our bloodline has adopted German, British, and Powhatan Indian into the mix. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at April 23, 2017 6:08 PM MDT

    Hi Lulu's Mom, I happened to read all the responses here, no one seems to be Native American, so in a sense, isn't everyone an immigrant on US soil?
    ( me, I'm from India;))

    Pretty much. I have some Native American in me too, but just a little bit.

  • Germany mostly. Supposedly, there's a branch (rumor of course) that came from a different planet.

  • I am not certain what you mean by "ascendants". I think that is a term in astrology. I have never had a horoscope done, so I have no idea about my Ascendant. I am from Ukraine, and so are my descendants.
