If you are White in Western Wisconsin, you are of either Norwegian or Swedish stock.

„American“?!?
This map and post explicitly says „ancestry“ but in an hour or two it’ll still be overrun with Europeans shouting „they’re not actually German!“
What is American? Native American?
Bizarre, clearly inaccurate or incomplete map. Just off the top of my head, Apache County in Arizona should be colored in. Navajo ancestry is a large majority – 64% as of the 2020 census.

Oh hey! My county is on there… and I have German ancestry. I guess I’m part of the problem lol
Ulster Scots and English who mostly migrated pre-revolution and then shifted across the south. Often genealogical records give out (usually before the revolution) before these folks can find someone born outside the US. Mostly in places that didn’t see much of the later waves of migration.
What does this mean?
As per usual, self-reporting is unreliable.
Self reported Mexican ancestry is not a majority in any county?
Surprised Ottawa county Michigan isn’t Dutch
„self reported“. I’m not saying they are wrong, but being in the US an area with Irish-A and Italian-A folks and being a genealogist — I have my doubts!
I speak the best American here
Is this counting each native tribe as a distinct ancestry?
Because:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._counties_with_Native_American_majority_populations
People reporting „American“ heavily correlates with old stock Appalachian. This is a gross oversimplification but old stock Northerners and lowland Southerners usually write English or whatever their most recent non-English thing is even if they’re mostly English. Appalachian white settlers were a mix of Scottish and far Northern English who lived pretty precariously in Britain and then in Northern Ireland for a couple generations and then mixed with Germans in Appalachia. 300+ years later, they typically throw their hands up and write „American“ which is fine let them
Useless map, doesn’t describe anything, lack of context. Just bad
Fake news!
Apache County, AZ is 70% Native American.
I lived in a blue county in ND for a few years. One of my neighbours had a really strange accent, I asked where they were from. Turns out they were born and raised in that town, but spoke fluent German. Apparantly their ancestors had settled there arriving on a horse and buggy a hundred years before, and they just stayed put. Check out a guy called Lawrence Welk, he’s from this area, and had that exact same accent. He was really famous in the 60s-70s.
Does this not apply to majority African-American counties in the Deep South? Like there should be several counties in the Mississippi Delta and Black Belt on here
I find this boner on ancestry interesting but also funny. Like, that doesn’t make you German. Being German or anything isn’t genetic.
Wow, didn’t expect German to be so dominant in the Midwest!
Wonder how much this deals with wording and how the data was searched. I live in a county that is roughly 72% Native American, the majority are Navajo. If they put Navajo it would show up on the map, if Native American they wouldn’t. Plus there were issues with COVID during the census the county shows a 9% decrease in population from 2019 to 2020 this has as much to do with people not doing the census than deaths. COVID hit the Navajo Nation hard and they did not want and were told not to have encounters with others.
Be careful with data. This from someone who listed American on the census, can trace directly back to mid 16 hundreds, but were not certain where they came from.
What’s the green colour?
what about solvang or that other danish town in north texas? arent they majority dane
edit: didnt realize it was county, not town
Most of these counties seem very remote… except for Washington Co., WI (Milwaukee suburbs/exurbs). My grade school there was filled with last names like Otzelburgers, Schwabenlanders, Schickelgrubers, Hessenburgs, and a few with some umlauts in them.
Sample data for this servey must’ve been extremely small. I know for a fact there’s parts of Texas that speak Texan-German and the majority of Wyoming is Anglo-American. I know for a fact that much.
I suspect that most people whose families have been in the US for many generations only look at surnames from the last few.
My kids have an Ulster/Scottish surname, but 3 of their 4 grandparents have French surnames.
