Wait, are you related to the Highland Travelers?

This seems like a cozy option. I'd have to do a deep dive to know for sure. These travelers fit my family temperament. Both side of my family has been in the States for 300+ years. So, we are Amerikaaners.
 
These past clan structures of the Anabaptist and the travelers fit future paths for me. As for what I do and what my father and his father did, we are traveling crafters/builders. The cultural part is seriously lacking based on American Consumer and boomer culture.
 
My Scottish clan roots is such. Eventually the English tied clans down to real estate by 'giving' out land titles to the clan leaders and making family members tenents. So the Traveler culture is closer to how the pre-Anglo/Aryan Scotts lived.

The Travelers are intriguing, and I naturally lean into that lifestyle. My clan weren't all Travelers, but some became Travelers after having land taken from them, so that's how I learned about them. I don't think I'm descended from any though Like you, both sides of my family have been in America since the beginning.
 
I've never heard Amerikaaner before. I like it.
