My grandmother on my mother's side is a genealogist so she knows our family's history back from God knows when. From what she's told me over the years, the first McCuen came over from Scotland in 1790. On my father's side, we've got English and French ancestry. Our ancestral motto is "Steadfast in the right" which I've always thought was very cool. :)

To date, based on genealogical research and family history, I've determined African, Austronesian, Cherokee, Choctaw, Nansemond, German, Irish, English, French and Mexican. Some of my ancestors were free persons of color who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Others (African and Irish) were brought here as slaves. Some fled oppression in Germany and others were pretty much always here. ;) It's been fascinating to learn the stories of these people.
