I believe there are actually more Americans of German descent than English/Anglo-Saxon descent. :cool:

I don't know. Here's what wiki has to say (for whatever that is worth...):

QuoteSelf-identified German Americans made up 17.1% of the U.S. population, followed by Irish Americans at 12%, as reported in the 2000 U.S. Census. This makes German the largest, and Irish the second-largest, self-reported ancestry groups in the U.S. Both groups had high rates of immigration to the US beginning in the mid-19th century, triggered by the Great Potato Famine in Ireland and the failed 1848 Revolution in Germany. However, English-Americans and British-Americans are still considered the largest ethnic group due to a serious under count following the 2000 census whereby many English and British Americans self-identified under the new category entry 'American' considering themselves 'indigenous' because their families had resided in the USA for so long or, if of mixed European ancestry, identified with a more recent and differentiated ethnic group.

LOL, "American". :D

I guess that could be correct, but tons of earlier settlers to the colonies weren't Anglo-Saxon either.  My German ancestors were all here by 1740, and pretty much all of Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia proper was settled by Germans and Scots-Irish (cannon fodder for the French and Indians on the frontier. :cool: )  Also, there was a big Moravian settlement in North Carolina prior to the Revolution as well.

Surely you don't think Scotch-Irish have no English blood.

He is neither an Angle or a Saxon. He is German ok? Geez learn something about ethnicity people.
Where do you think the Saxons and Angle's originally came from? :hmm:

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The Angles came from Denmark IIRC, and the Saxons came from NW Germany.  My peeps came from much further south.  If you want to identify my ancestors with an ancient German tribe, it'd be the Alemanni.

I know I'm going to get a beak in these eggs from a farm a bit down the way.
