Sorry to add a more serious point to this discussion, Colin Powell, born in USA, parents emigrated from Jamaica. Both parent's families "had bloodlines common in Jamaica of African, English, Irish, Scottish and his father's side even added a Jewish strain from the Broomfield ancestor".

Quotes taken from 'A Soldier's Way - An Autobiography' - Colin Powell.

Be careful, he could be related !!

Powell's Grandad was one Edwin McCoy, a sugar plantation overseer of Scottish descent. Presidential candidates, and Powell could be one day, like to have some ancestry from this side of the water, it helps with the votes. So if he does a "Roots" and the name McCoy appears in your 'tree', better make sure the kettles on because he'll come a calling.

Of course the English won't need to, Mel Gibson and Spielberg kinda knackered that particular avenue of research.
