      Is there any girl that doesn't turn you on?

                Yup. Look at Minnesota. Not a single Swedish county.

                Suppose a county in Minnesota was 40% German, 25% Norwegian, 35% Swedish. It would show up as a German county.
                Are there really that many "Swedes" there? I was in Minnesota and the Dakotas 2 years ago. There were traces of German and Norwgian settlers all over the place, but we didn't see a lot of Swedish stuff.

                Minnesota:
                According to the 2002 U.S. Census, the largest reported ancestries are German (36.7%), Norwegian (17.2%), Irish (11.2%), and English (6.3%).


                North Dakota:
                The five largest ancestry groups in North Dakota are: German (43.9%), Norwegian (30.1%), Irish (7.7%), Native American (5%), Swedish (5%).


                South Dakota:
                The five largest ancestry groups in South Dakota are: German (40.7%), Norwegian (15.3%), Irish (10.4%), Native American (8.3%), English (7.1%).


                Maybe most of the Swedes went somewhere else, or maybe they're pretending to be Norwegian.

                    Why is a place like Tärnaby (population 548) included on that map when hundreds of bigger communities are? It's not even the biggest community in its county.

                      thanks, interesting stuff

                      from one of those links it looks like the highest percentage of swedish ancestry in a minnesota county is 17.7%

                          White 47.4%
                          Hispanic/Latino 32.4%
                          Asian 11.0% 11.4%
                          Black 6.5% 6.3%
                          Two or More Races 1.9%

                          Whites are now the largest minority. Of course many of those "latinos" are really just white so you wouldn't know it walking down the street.

                            Japher is from Cincinnati and has a Van surname and thinks he's dutch. Dutch = Deutsch. Cincinnati seems more German than some German cities.

                            Okay, maybe he IS dutch but a whole lot of vons became vans if you know what I mean. Throughout Ohio, according to the Census, just 200,000 dutch versus almost 3 million German descendents...

                            there are 3 million of Canadian ancestry in the US - more than 3/4 of which are French-Canadian. There are far more people claiming French-Canadian ancestry in the US than Ontario or New Brunswick... or even Quebec! (based on the somewhat dubious Canadian census, where "French" "Acadian" and "Quebecois" combined still totals less than 2.2 million, but there are 4.9 million "Canadians" ...

                            Tere are also more "Germans" in Ohio than in all of Canada...

                                I'd like to know what those "Other" counties are in Massachusetts, Maine, and Pennsylvania (and North Carolina?)

                                Also, I love the fact that there's a little Irish enclave in the middle of Texas Mexican territory.
