[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of those Germans came here right after WW2?[/quote] Almost none. US immigration was very controlled in the mid to late 20th century. The big waves of immigration were earlier. [/quote] Right. E.g., in Indiana: " In Fort Wayne, skilled German workers were recruited for local industries. By the late nineteenth century, that city’s population was said to be 80 percent German." It varied from rural to city, and by occupation, but the big waves were the 1800s. https://immigrationtounitedstates.org/606-indiana.html [/quote] It's easy to remember you are German in Indiana. My family is from the Swabian area, and our Christmas table was full of springerle and pfeffernüsse. Long live the Tell City pretzeals, with that reciped unchanged from 1858! Ha, my German ancestors came to the Ft Wayne area in the 1850s.[/quote][/quote]
