I have occasionally asked a European what their original national roots are, and they generally don’t much care for the conversation (with the exception of the Italians).
They point out that the reason Americans whose families have been here for 150 years try to claim their Irish or Swedish or German roots is because we are so unrooted in our own country.
By contrast, someone whose family has migrated around Europe is generally content to identify with the country where their family has been for a generation or two.
Even though they have migrated, they are not rootless for the most part.
In other words, the sensation of being rooted (or not) seems to be more a function of mindset than transience.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with in terms of a cure for the problem.
