It's an old family name, but the ancestor seems to be a black sheep because he's not hanging with the "respectable" folk (of course that all depends on perspective, I suppose). The native blood may have been out of upstate NY.

I really need to do the DNA thing myself, and at least get a few clues. I am multi-ethnic, but I really don't know for a certainty what's up in there!!
