My Irish ancestors from Ulster arrived about 1720 as indentured servants to Livingston Manor, south of Renssalaer, NY

Bet a lot of those “Germans” were Silesian Poles, like my ancestors.

My ancestors came over in about the 4th or 5th boat to arrive on our shores. They came from England. Two of my antecedents were in the 1st and 2nd Houses of Burgesses. We're probably related.

Let’s make it a goal for the next census that we get 95% American responses.

One of the sub-headers at the top:
"Almost 20 million people claim to have 'American' ancestry for political reasons and because they are unsure of their family's genealogy"
Further down in the article:
"The surprising number of people across the nation claiming to have American ancestry is due to them making a political statement, or because they are simply uncertain about their direct descendants."
One contains the word, and. The other contains the word, or. Likely, most of them knew of their ancestry in the first landings of Protestants in early America, as I do.

DANG! ALL THOSE PUERTO RICANS IN PR!

I know my families genealogy. Almost all of them have been here since the colonies began. I am a melting pot. No amount of “ethnicity” stands out from another. My ancestors (except for gg born in Ireland and gg born in Brazil, are Americans as I am, and became Americans (un-hyphenated). Goes back to 1620 and our culture is American. (I have a 1/16 “Native American Indian).
their quote about American, insults me.

My God...I'm a comparative newcomer to the country.The earliest of my ancestors to arrive here came from Ireland in the 1850’s and the other “wave”,also Irish,came in the 1880’s.But fear not,Freepers,I have a Green Card.

They must have calculated this by last name. I don’t see how they can categorize people as “German.” Ok, I have Germans in my ancestry, but also have Scots-Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, Bavarian. My grandkids have all that plus Portuguese, Algerian, Serbian and Czech.
I don’t think the European get how mixed we are. My granddaughter’s kindergarten has a large proportion of mixed race kids. That is why we are more “American” as a people than anything else.

Well it a British news agency.
To: Rusty0604
By far the largest ancestral group, stretching from coast to coast across 21st century America is German, with 49,206,934 people. The peak immigration for Germans was in the mid-19th century as thousands were driven from their homes by unemployment and unrest. In the first census that I saw back in the 1700's, Germans were the most listed race in America. Followed by English and Scottish. So the Germans have been here in strong numbers from day one.

Then why are Aleut/Eskimo and American Indian listed in separate categories?

Mine were from Gloustershire and Somerset, Salem, 1628, Conn, 1630, Hampshire Grants, Upstate NY and Vermont, 1740’s.
The rest were Scots Irish along with a few real harps, 1730’s Alabama and Mississippi via the Carolina's and Penn after the Revolution. Some ended up in VA, no has a clue why.
