Fancy that. The English have taken over NJ, easter PA, NYC, MA, Los Angeles, SanFran, and, of course, Florida (big surprise). Not many in the middle of the country, is there? Guess that means I'm safe from the invasion here.

I think of Germany as in Western Europe, though for the purposes of this map, it is classed as Eastern Europe. Threw me for a bit when I was mousing over the dark blue counties of Texas where there was heavy German settlement.

I can tell you that I'm one of the thousands of New Yorker's born in Germany.

I see there are thousands of Brits in Westchester County. Damned if I have run across any of you.
