My mother's family moved to NYC from North Carolina.
My father's family moved here from the Bahamas via Miami.

Prior to that my ancestors came over shackled in the hull of a slave ship amidst the stink of feces, urine and death, waiting to be showcased and sold like livestock.

So basically, besides guessing the general region of Western Africa, I don't know where my ancestors came from. I can only wonder

Edited to Add: My great-grandfather on my mother's side is either Irish or Scottish and one of my great-grandmothers on my mother's side is Native American, either Cherokee or Blackfoot
