    Aren't Flemish people of Dutch descent?

    I see a trend. Only one French person voted for Normands to be Germanic, but he also voted for the rest of Oïl France. While all the French voted for Moselle, while very few non-French did.
    Maybe some people are not that well informed

    Germanic doesn't exist. Celtic doesn't exist. The only thing that exists is the nation state and the culture which enlivens its population and rejoices the people into a collective union.
    One's ethnic identity is to a surprisingly high degree based on identification - does a Frenchman from region X identify with Germany or another foreign nation, with France, or with just the region? At least my impression is that in most cases it is one of the latter two.

    And anything like "Germanic identity" hardly exists outside internet's fringe boards anyway.

    Exactly. I should say that I'm not denying that the cultural term 'Germanic' does exist, of course, as that would deny the obvious around here; but, I now believe there shouldn't be such an emphasis upon this largely outdated term that some make it out to be. As you say, outside of the internet the terminology is lost and irrelevant to modern society.

    I don't see any Frenchman who has voted so far in the Normandy option.

    Maybe because if Normandy is Germanic, then so are Sicily and Syria.

    France pretty much has all three major western groups depending on region. I would say that Romance and Celtic to a lesser extent are much more prevalent than Germanic though.
