Walloon? I never heard the term. Which may explain why I didn't know this? It is a funny sounding word though...but rather melodic. What's Walloon? Is that French Beligum or Flemish? (I basically live in an apartment complex with Russians...LOL! Seriously, there was Russian for a bit on the elevator instructions along with English, and the Super speaks Polish, Russian and then English.)
I'm part Belgium or Belgian? Father's side. French-Belgium. My ancestors never did the paperwork for the DAR, but, I have found evidence that I my ancestory goes back to 1695 Virigina and 1700s NY, so there you go. Anglo/Scottish came over then.
My paternal great grandmother who was French-Beligum came over in the 1900s and was a dressmaker, with a degree from a French University in Belgium. My Welsh great great great grandfather came over in the 1800s. But the Scottish/Anglo came over to NY and Virigina in the 1600s, then moved to the mid-west in the 1800s. They were on my mother's side.
Got all this from ancestry.com. Rather disappointing. I wanted something other than Irish/Scottish/Beligum/German/Welsh/Anglo...the best I got with a touch of Finnish. I already knew about the others.
