My paternal Great X 5 grandfather immigrated from Germany and settled in Lancaster Co. PA, where he died in 1790. That line moved west with the country - Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, finally Oregon. My paternal grandmother’s parents both came over from Germany in mid-19th century and took the Oregon Trail as far as Durkee, OR, where the 2 branches of my family joined.

There is a German belt that begins in NY, Pennsylvania and Maryland and stretches westward across the country. I wonder what Mr. Strong would think about German ancestry outnumbering English in 21st Century America?
