Did it ever occur to you that different cultures interests might not be the same as yours? Where we came from is meaningful to us.I’m American and I find it fun to trace my ancestry. I’m not related to anyone remotely famous. Some of my ancestors could have been born on the wrong side of the blanket, but it isn’t that important. My mother’s family all come from Germany, but I only claim heritage. I don’t consider myself German. BTW - my last name is from the Swiss side that emigrated to the US.
