How much of a mixed mutt you have to be to find out through DNA test that you are an american?

>>70695628
your cities belong to the browns and blacks, farmers in middle america matter to none

According to one of the largest ever U.S genetics studies, published January of 2015 in the American Journal of Human Genetics:
>" British and Irish ancestry is found in European Americans from all states at mean proportions of more than 20 percent and represents a MAJORITY of ancestry."

All that German heritage was self reported nonsense. Of the 49 million Americans claiming German ancestry only about 14 million actually are predominantly Germanic.

What's with all the bongs in the West

Mormons, forced to go west after the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith, under Brigham Young they founded the Deseret Empire centred in Salt Lake City, Utah, a few years later they agreed to end polygamous practises in return for statehood.

Once everybody in the US knows their ancestry, the whole map will likely fill out in much the same way. Middle America and the South are mainly rural or undeveloped areas that are still unaware of their ethnicity.

The whole "German" thing probably just spread as a rumor back in the day.

uh, the people putting down american are british stock who have been here since the 1700s usually so they just say they're american. for some it's a political statement

>>70695628
notice how in 2000 it was just english yet in 2010 it's british. that's the major change between maps

>>70695934
it may have in other parts of the country, but in the midwest it's actually because germans were the predominant settlers here

>>70695680
it's the census; they just write american because they have no idea

>>70695979
The Midwest is mainly unpopulated though. However It's a sure bet that all those "American" counties are probably Anglo.

Why would you pretend to be german instead of anglo anyway? Anglos have achieved much more.

America did not particularly like Britian or the British from about 1770-1900 with a bit of an dull apathetic gap between 1820 and 1860.

>>70696163
but being of anglo stock was in super high regard, so that doesn't really work

>>70696022
I think a more likely answer is that german immigrants came in the late 1800s and early 1900s in large numbers. the large numbers part is important not because they completely displaced british stock americans, but because it allowed them to keep speaking their language longer. let's say you're white from pennsylvania. pennsylvania is one of the original colonies so it's had people settling there for a long time. let's say you're basically 75% british and 25% german. you may or may not have great documentation for the british side of your family, and they've probably been here so long that to you they're just white american, but your german grandparent spoke german and maybe made sauerkraut and pfeffernusse which are easily identifiable

I still think the real answer is the 2000 map shows just english and the 2010 map shows all british lumped together, but I'm sure a bit of what I described also happens

a similar thing happens here in the upper midwest. people are of mostly german stock, but a ton of us have norwegian surnames and the lefse, rosettes and krumkake stick out as being the unique things from your family

People aren't pretending to be German. Read the map again, people who previously filled out "American" on the census because they didn't know their ancestry are finding out that they're of mostly English descent.
