Turns out we about 25/75 and I have traced all ends on both sides of the family down through the early 1700's and some even beyond but all within the US except for my Maternal Great Grandfather who was off the boat from Germany. I'm WAY more "American" than even I thought I was. They were almost all farmers as well.
...but yeah I just don't like tubeless for a ton of applications. Ride it on gravel still though...

Thanks everyone, I am really enjoying this bike. Makes me feel a bit younger everytime I ride it.

Now as far as the bike is concerned, I have never ridden a more comfortable bike than this and with the new wheels, the ride is even better with the same tires. They expand about 2mm wider and I am running at 5psi less pressure which combines for dare I say, a lush ride experience.

Killer ride! I'm not a disc brake fan (rim brakes work fine for me), but the bike looks so much cleaner without the brake calipers on the frame!
