I think there were a lot more but they intermarried a lot so the ethnicity got "diluted" out. I personally am 25% Italian so I wouldn't feel valid calling myself Italian-American.

You probably grew up in NJ like me. When I moved away I realized that not everywhere had lots of Italian and Jewish people. I thought everyone in U.S. had off from school for major Jewish holidays!

They didn't really start coming to the U.S. until the late 19th century. The English and Germans have been here reproducing much longer...

Northern New England, the South and the Mormon belt are mostly of English extraction.

And Mormons
Mormon geneology is extremely detailed and highly tracked.
It’s mostly English with some Danes and other Scandinavians

A lot of people probably don't even really know what their ancestry is. They just assume "English".
