Question

I was born in America but my father was born in Egypt, his father in Yemen, his father in Turkey etc. What minhag should I follow? There are differences as far as eating rice on Pesach, for example, but I am sure there are many more.

You should follow standard Sephardi Minhagim, which are mostly in the shulchan Aruch. You may eat all Kitniyot, rice, corn, the works. Even if you never did before. And you don't need to be "Matir Neder (release a promise)." AA
