Most of us are mixed bags like us.
Very few are "full bloods" these days
My grandfather was indeed full-blooded Irish.
The rest of them were mixtures of this, that and the other.
I pretty much know who I am (after many years of research) but I did not know for many years as my mother was adopted out in the deep south in the 1920s. That was a near impossible task to locate her and her family but I did. I found a cousin that I have become rather close to and he is a very smart man that I go to when I have questions about things that I know he might be able to help me solve.
But yes, we are all Americans for the most part (sans a few immigrants that are full-bloods like my late husband was).

"you should"--some people just talk that way. They get it from their mothers.
