[quote=Anonymous]I’m from central PA - lots of families with German roots there but I agree that I think a big part is that the Germans tended to fan out more from the cities. It is NOT that they came over with lots more $ I think, perhaps just not at the times of the huge immigration waves that sparked backlash by native born workers. My grandpa on my mom’s side was a factory worker and grew up very poor (parents also did factory work). Grandma was a lunch lady and also grew up poor with divorced parents (factory workers). On my dad’s side I don’t know much about how my grandparents grew up but they must have done slightly better as they lived in a tiny house on an acre and my grandma stayed at home while my grandpa had a factory job.
