I know that there were a large number of Welsh in my states (Michigan) upper penninsula at one time. Mostly miners from what I can find. I live in an area called the Irish hills, so I'm assuming there was a fair sized Irish population here. I'm German and grew up in a town named after Hanover Germany.
We were a pretty diverse european bunch here.

I think you could joke that it is possible count every New Zealander with German ancestry with both your hands . THere are so few that it is possible to seat all of them in a sports stadium.

There is something about the Welsh and mining - the two are inseparable!! LOL
