What's ridiculous about the 35% German ancestors in the U.S. ? With one German grandparent , it's easy to get to those numbers. Large numbers of Germans immigrated to the U.S. between the revolution and about 1880. Some were in the U.S. before the 1776. I believe total German speaking (note start of weasel reasoning here) immigration was about the same size as Irish immigration, and some of it happened sooner. Revision : My numbers are a little high. Some people will not report German ancestory on Census forms, however. Even if they stop speaking German, some of the thinking and values persist for a few more generations.
