Was there a map showing migration patterns leaving the USA?
Very interesting; thanks for posting it!
Lots of Finns in North central Minnesota as well, where I spent many summers. All the lakes, forests and long winters made them feel right at home.
The town of Menahga even had bilingual signage in places.
That is fascinating but, I wonder if it is reflective of declared national origin or just poets of embarkation? If just ports, it gives only a broad brush portrait of immigration and doesn’t give the whole story of national origin. For example, when New York substantially increased its port fees in the nineteenth century, immigrant ships began docking in Canada and the immigrants made their own way to the US. Also, many Danes chose to traverse Germany instead of leaving directly from Scandinavia. Likewise, there was substantial immigration by Germans and Japanese to South and Central America and Mexico and many of those eventually headed for the US. French Heugenots settled in Ireland for a time before they came here. Germans settled in Russia and Poland for awhile before emigrating. And there are lots more examples of step migrations.
Ports of embarkation, not poets. It’s still early here on the West Coast.
You make a valid point. Don’t know the answer because I don’t know how the information was collected or what verification process was employed.

Immigration Map
I’ve noticed that my results have been changed or time by quite a bit. I knew I was a mutt. But suddenly they dropped a key portion of my heritage that I know to be true. I’m thinking the results are being PC’d.
Fascinating.
Being an old goat, I have noted that the flow of immigrants from Mexico started during Ike’s term, picked up during JFK and went bonkers during LBJ’s term. Since then it has been out of control.
“I did that Ancestry DNA thing and found out that I’m a mutt.”
Do you bark and growl in your sleep?

I think you are correct. 8>)
The Mrs. says I snore. And she has called me a beast and an animal and when she's angry a SOB.
Thanks for your post.
Interesting to read.
