>Norwegian-surnamed Americans are (1.93%)...Swedes are higher still, some 2.25 to 2.5%.

>Norway has the same population as Jews in Israel, some 5.3 million, and the USA has the same number of Norwegian surnamed persons as is does Jews, some 5.6 million...

Interesting...

>Denmark would add another 0.3% and Iceland some 0.1%.

Thank you for those figures! My old figures had Norse and Danes at ~1% each and Swedes ~2%. Same 4% total Scandinavian population. What is the source of your numbers?

Just have picked them up over the years. I do not have URL or printed sources at my fingertips right now, you will notice I corrected Denmark up from the 0.3 to 0.5, a typo.

The total from the four countries in USA is still (2000 census) by surnames, some 4.9%, closer to 5 than 4...it was 6% in the 1960 census...
