Last week we asked about your ancestors’ involvement in the Revolutionary War. 87% of respondents had an ancestor who served as a solider for the American side. 2% of respondents are direct descendants of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Complete results are:
- 87%, I had an ancestor who served as a soldier for the American side.
- 39%, I had an ancestor who supported the American side through patriotic activity (providing aid, serving as a government officer, etc.)
- 25%, I have joined a lineage society based on my ancestor's involvement in the Revolutionary War (on either side).
- 21%, I have joined a lineage society based on my ancestor's involvement in the Revolutionary War (on either side).
- 13%, I have ancestors involved on both sides of the conflict.
- 9%, I had an ancestor who served as a soldier for the British side (including mercenary soldiers serving for the Brits).
- 8%, I don't have any known ancestry involved in the Revolutionary War.
- 4%, I have French, French-Canadian, or ancestors of another nationality who supported the American side.
- 2%, I am a direct descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
