Having no southern roots is probably accurate. Being a southerner and being related are inconsequential. Our family in America did not begin in the south. They migrated toward the south late into their settlement in this country. My wife's closer relationshop to the Bushes occurs through her father, whose people migrated from the NE U.S to the midwes.
