I was with a lady from an ME minority religion. We were passing through a small town in India and she heard some little kid speak with a familiar accent. She called him in. Got him a cola and asked about his family. We ended up going to visit the family who had been living in that town all their lives. She spoke with the parents and started asking them about their ethnicity, when and from where they arrived, and so on. Long story short, she managed to trace their family tree to a hundred years ago where the grandparents had migrated and told them about their distant relatives and how she is related to them. They caught up on some news and views and chat of different things before they parted ways. I found it fascinating that she knew so much of the genealogy in her head. But then I remembered some Iraqi migrants who had done the same thing. This was no different.

When I was in university I had a scottish girlfriend. I got to witness firsthand the 200 (or even 400) year old chips that some of them carry on their shoulders. The stories you hear about how some clan did what to whom and when. Like that woman in my story, the scotts carry family crests, kilt patterns, clan names, etc that identifies them no matter where in the world they are. And this has ramifications for how they behave when they meet another one.

I know of Americans who trace their ancestry to before the civil war.

People are not that different no matter where they are from. The differences are illusions. Given the same economic and political issues, we all behave the same.
