Die häufigste weiße, nicht-hispanische Abstammung in Neuengland

Portuguese?

no French at all? that’s surprising

Any other requests

Italian is missing in CT unless the borders of the planning districts change the outcome. New Haven county would be majority Italian

Should preface this with ‘claimed’ ancestry. This isn’t based on any actual genetic study. I say this as an Irishman from Ireland who spent a substantial amount of time in Massachusetts- a ridiculously huge number of those ‘Irish Americans’ fall into three groups –

1. They are not Irish what so ever but because their ancestry is so far back they (or one of their forefathers) arbitrarily claimed they were Irish even though their ancestry is like 80% British.

2. They’re actually primarily Ulster Scots in ancestry – which are ethnically British. But because those ancestors ‘came from Ireland’ they have straight up adopted Gaelic Irish as their ethnic identity.

3. They have some actual Gaelic Irish ancestry, but weirdly ignore the other 40-50% which isn’t actually Irish.

I guess there is a 4th minority group who are actually legitimately Irish from two Irish parents – but they’re very rare.

VT, NH & Maine make sense being English when you consider the history of Canada & British loyalists. While I am surprised there isn’t a single parish/county that isn’t French, it’s not totally unsurprising.

To be honest, I’m surprised Connecticut isn’t more English.

As for people wondering how Italian didn’t make the list? Simple, Italian’s aren’t white.

Hey look Fall River

English? I doubt it. This must be self-proclaimed.

I’d guess French Canadian for so many of those counties.

I do genealogy and have pored those censuses. And the folks that say English? I bet lots of Scottish. So many came from British Isles to Maritimes to New England.

Surprised Italian or French didn’t show. There’s a sizeable population of French Canadians in northern NH and VT. Meanwhile MA and CT have a lot of Italians
