Largest Ancestry by County in USA

Also, one should note that a lot of the red “German-dominant areas” very well could contain people with 25% or under German admix in total. Relatively very few multi-generational Americans in these areas will be totally or even 50% German, although those are not nonexistent...

They die a long and very gruesome death.

Is that self-reported ancestry ? I don't think Americans know what they are in many cases. My name is Irish but I have one English grandmother and one German/French grandmother in the very least which means I'm not 'Irish' but someone is likely to identify with their name etc.. Joe Biden thinks he is an Irish Catholic but he is English etc...

What does an American put down if they are Irish, German and English , for example ? probably English but most Americans are too ignorant to know that.

Biden has ties to County Laois. I doubt that they want to claim him, because I sure don't.

It was a pointless exercise. It's obvious you are going to repost the same drivel over and over. Carry on. I'll try to ignore.

That's not a bad idea. I'm not sure if he's a Borat or a Rain Man.

French part isn't going to account for a significant portion of the scoring in the "German belt" states.

23andme has done a lot of changing in German/French % on me alone, I'm betting current numbers would show a different picture. Still expecting British to top out but the figures are likely closer.

Do Eastern English people still match more with "German and French"? The labels seem to change every other day.

Wrong thread, this post was meant to land in that thread about whales, oops.

This genetic information from 23andMe probably gives a much more realistic picture. Look at the percentage ancestry numbers on the bars as well as the maps. If we give British a half share of the top British & Irish number and divide it by the top German & French number, we get:

0.275 / 0.16 = 1.7 times more British than German, and that's not even including the French part of French/German.

Iberian in Louisana? And Sardinian in Vermont? Wrong.

You may be referring to some Amish and Mormon communities.

People from out of town are often surprised how many Mexicans we have in northern IL.

Not just Hispanics, Asians too.

I believe that there are Spaniard communities in Louisiana.
