I really don't see my heritage as being important or intrinsic to who I am at all. I actually have a fairly complete genealogy but its more of an academic interest than a familial one. I just don't see how my ancestors have much if any bearing on me currently, except genetically. But that's a lot more detailed than the cultural definitions we're throwing around. Sure a culture like the French may have some genes in common but not enough to make a significant difference in who they are (in my opinion.)
