Do you happen to know if any of your ancestors migrated to the Americas?

If so, whom, where and when?

This seems to be a rather unusual question. Because unless an individual is 100% Native American, at least some of their ancestors emigrated to the Americas. Why are you asking?

Perhaps there is another way to think about this question.  

Someone presently living in Europe (or Asia or Australia) might have ancestors who migrated to America and their children/grandchildren returned to Europe.
Most people living outside the Americas have no ancestors who emigrated there.

True. but the individual who asked the question ( Alfredo Roldán Flores ) appears to be directing it at a specific profile (Juha Soini).. Juha is Suomi (i.e., Finnish/Swedish/Norwegian) in heritage and presumably lives in Scandinavia today.  Alfredo appears to be looking for common ancestors in the Soini lineage.    

Alfredo - perhaps you want to ask this question on Juha's page also. 

Best wishes!

Báez-38 had suggestion 775 Wrong character in Last Name at Birth. I made the profile Béz-23 and proposed a merge to help the PM cope with it. PM seems to think the profile I made is a relative of mine, and has asked me aout this twice privately.

I hope you don't ask this out of anger because I tried to correct a character error in a profile you manage. Just trying to help make WT better.

If by the Americas you mean South America, I don't believe I have any ancestors who migrated there. I have tracked a couple to USA though. They would be https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Valenius-2 my great grand father and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/St%C3%A5lnacke-60 my great great aunt.

May I ask you what your interest is? Do you suspect we would be cousins? I have not taken a dna test yet as you can see in my profile, Just wondering about the dna tags.

I emigrated to the Americas. I moved from New Zealand to Canada.

I also have several cousins who have also emigrated from New Zealand to  Canada.
