Question:

What ethnicity (ethnic background) (nationality) is George Bush?

... don't say "American" or "Caucasion". I'm wondering what country his distant ancestors are from.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Using Ancestry.com as a search engine, I've determined that George W. Bush is primarily of English descent.

His mother, Barbara Pierce Bush, is a descendant of Thomas Pierce (born in 1608 in Norfolk, England; died 6 Nov 1683 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts). The former First Lady's 10th Great Grand Uncle, Edward Winslow, was a Mayflower Passenger. She is a distant relative of Presidents Reagan, Garfield, Taft, and Pierce.

George W's dad, George Herbert Walker Bush, is a descendant of John Bush (born 20 Jan 1593 in Messing, Essex, England; died 1670 in Cape Porpoise, York, Maine). Daddy Bush has two 9th-great grand uncles who were on board the Mayflower: George Soule and Edward Winslow. He is a distant relative of Presidents Garfield, Ford, and Lyndon Johnson.
