If Sheila Jackson Lee wants to go that far back in history to the slavery days, what if I had zero ancestors in this country then? Earliest roots I have in America were on my mother's side when all of my great grandparents came here from Germany in the early to mid 1880's.. My dad's father & mother were both born & raised in Scotland and didn't get here until 1914 & 1919 respectively. None of my ancestors were here during slavery so do I get some kind of exemption ??
