I think the reason some of us superwhite north/western euro Americans do #genealogy research is looking for a culture to hang onto. That might be part of it for me, but the cultures of the places my ancestors came from are very different now that they were then, including in some very good ways. I don't have a name for my #culture, overlapping subcultures is the best I can manage. #Queer. Californian. #Homeschooler. #Progressive.
(My genetic and genealogical ancestry are, in approximate order of percentage, Scottish, Irish, English, and the rest a scattering of Scandinavian and "northwestern European" that comes out to Dutch, Belgian, and French by modern borders.)
