That's a pretty good book to pick up on the ancestary issue. Almost as many "Germans" in US (23% of 280 million) as in Germany 65 million. Also the Dutch were early and had a lot of influence in New York. Bunch of French Hugenots (DuPonts etc.) also. Does the book articulate some of the differnces between Boston, New York, the South and of course Texas and California ? English tended towards Northern US, Scots and Irish towards the South.

Canada, I recently read some complains from Chinese who have immigrated to Canada. They said that what Canada needs are blue color workers/non-skilled labor, but the requirement/focus is more towards skilled-labor/college graduates. As a result, plenty of Chinese immigrants, after spending a lot of money finally moving in to Canada, only to find there is NO job available for them, except sales/restaurant...! I read that plenty of people from Taiwan have already migrated back to Taiwan, or a couple of them may even back to China<g>.
