    My great grandfather’s came here from Ireland 150 years ago with no documentation. My grandmother’s family all moved from Canada for work about the same time, with no documentation. My other grandmother is descended from Mayflower immigrant Constance Hopkins, also undocumented.

    Most Americans’ roots are undocumented.
