So, I just randomly found and was watching this video and at 13:22, you show a picture of a WWII ship. That ship was the USS Harry Taylor, and my dad served on that ship during WWII. Iāve studied that picture a lot, and found my dad among the many servicemen. The story of that ship was it had picked up thousands of soldiers from Europe and was going to take them to the Pacific arena via the Panama Canal to fight Japan. While still in the Atlantic, they received word that Japan surrendered, so they reversed course and headed to the NY harbor. It was the first ship to reach the harbor after VJ Day. Thanks for sharing, it brought back memories of my dad and his service!

As an African American, I find this so eye-opening. I identify as black, because that's how most of the world sees me and how I see myself. However, I have French, Irish, and Native American ancestry, as recently as my great grandparents, and probably other non-African ethnicities before that. I never think about their journeys or their lives here in a personal way, but more as some other group of people's history, even though the truth is that they are my people too. This video sparked a change in my way of thinking.

As a Cajun, That was a pretty good analysis. I canāt speak French but my brother and grandmother can speak it and Iād like to learn one day as it feels important to me. Many people in Louisiana are very prideful in there heritage

As a native New Jersey resident, I am English irish French German Italian Danish and polish. But I grew up dominated by the Italian-Irish Catholic culture. Almost everyone was either Italian/Irish Catholic or Jewish. I was surrounded by Irish pubs and Italian restaurants and Jewish bakeries.

The Irish identifying as American reminds me of Tolkien, "They have been there so long they have forgotten where they came from". Also, they probably forgot those horrible circumstances on purpose. I have Irish ancestors who settled in Wisconsin. How did they get there? Nobody knows, but they probably arrived as indentured miners and promptly never said another word about it. By the time family history starts, they're typical Irish civil servants.

I didn't know I had English ancestors until I discovered online some research that cousins of mine had done. As it turned out, our English ancestors arrived in Rhode Island (primarily) and a few in Massachusetts in the 1630s, but none later than 1650. Eventually they made their way through Virginia, South Carolina, and Louisiana to Texas and left all memories of England behind, but they were always fairly large landowners and were always wealthy. According to 23&Me, I am 25% English and 50% German. My German ancestors immigrated to Texas in the 19th Century and are easily traceable back to Europe. Some of these were also large landowners (on my father's side), but on my mother's side, they were poor farmers or tradespeople. The other 25% of me is French, Scandinavian, Dutch, Scots-Irish, and Irish, but I cannot trace any of their heritage back to Europe. However, my cousins did trace some of our English heritage back to Scandinavia.

Unfortunately, my family has firsthand experience with the anti-German sentiment following World War II. My maternal grandmotherās grandparents were all from Germany. Her grandparents and parents all spoke German, but absolutely refused to speak it around the kids/grandkids. They got harassed a lot, so much so that even today my mother refuses to tell people that she has German ancestry. Even I have gotten some negative reactions, although not many.
Edit: If you look at some of the replies, you'll see what I meant when I saw that many of us get negative reactions about our German ancestry.

French is dying, much of the older population just didn't pass it on and after they die, the language in the family dies too. (Especially the ones who emigrated to others states like Texas. Like my ancestors did) but you can't blame em when they lived in a time where they weren't allowed to speak French at school and were discriminated against by Anglos. They just didn't want their children to have to go through the same so you'll only really find it in very isolated rural areas in Acadiana and the city of Lafayette. A lotta people know many French n' Native words and interchange em with English words, but don't speak the full language though

Ancestry can be complex in the U.S. I'm 12-13 generations removed from the earliest immigration to U.S. in my family (Mayflower,1620 and Griffin 1633) with most recent occurring mid-1800s. The combination of time and cultural intermixing means connection to ancestral groups has largely been lost and claiming any one heritage is problematic. For example just on one side of my family -- My great-great-grandfather, a descendent of early English colonists ran away with the family's housemaid, a second-generation immigrant from Prussia (region now western Germany), their son (great-grandfather) married a woman who was the daughter of immigrants from Norway, and their daughter (grandmother) married a man whose father's heritage is thought to be Scots-Irish and whose mother was daughter of immigrants from Switzerland. While this length of ancestry may lead to feeling settled for some or distinctly American, my own ancestors as seen above often intermarried with other immigrant groups, rebelled against cultural convention - so often joining new religious, political, and economic movements and jumped on/were forced on migration waves such that even going back to 1630s we haven't lived in one place for more than a generation. It's fun to learn the history, geography, and socio-politic-religious movements that led to my ancestors immigrating here, the variety of home towns and occupations they held, and their subsequent journeys around this country, but can also feel a little rootless at times.

My dadās family is from the first wave of colonists to Maryland who are Catholics and more or less stayed in Southern Maryland around Potomac river until my grandfather moved north to Baltimore as a part of the post-war migration from rural areas to cityās/suburbs.
I think the post-war migration of people away from rural areas would be an interesting topic. America was still a rural nation until basically the 1920s and only after WW2 did America really became a urban country.

This was so well done. I am utlizing this for our migration lessons. Thank you so much for posting. Your research and care of detail, and diversity were really well appreciated. As an educator the amount of research you did is priceless.

Minor thing but Tucson's name origin isn't Spanish but O'odham. Phonetically the same since pre European times with spelling having changed frequently.

I think a lot of people arenāt aware of the large Italian-American population in the Detroit area. There arenāt many in the city proper now, but the suburbs (especially Macomb County) has tons of Italian-Americans (myself included, Iām about half Sicilian/Italian)
And youāre right about English ancestry being under reported. So many people just have no clue. Iāve done extensive family tree research. A lot of my ancestry on my non-Italian side of the family is English, descended from colonial New England settlers who moved westward as well as some who immigrated directly from England to Ontario and then later moved on to Michigan.

Great job discussing the specific locations immigrants came from and went to. I like that you were more specific than just "from this country to USA". Including what part of the originating country, why they were leaving, what state they landed in, and why they chose that location, is amazingly detailed. Very well done.
I also appreciate you actually trying to pronounce names correctly. Lots of videos brush it off like "I am no good at pronunciation" then don't even try. You gave no excuses and gave a firm attempt. I didn't notice any mispronunciations. But I'm sure someone super keen probably noticed something.

My father learned "German" growing up, then tried to take the standardized NY state test and had no idea what was going on.

I really enjoyed this video. I especially liked your mention of the Gullah, Creole, and Cajun cultures. Well done.

I am best described as of mixed European ancestry, descended from people from every region of Europe (Eastern, Scandinavian, Mediterranean, UK, Germanic, and more) and sadly have almost no ties to any of these cultures or languages. Whenever I see groups retaining language and traditions, I am happy for them. I live in a city with a significant number of people from a single community in Italy, a thriving Mexican community, and enjoy all the ethnic festivals every summer. Thanks for giving me a better appreciation of the many ways people became part of the US.

My Great Grandfather left NYC for a job opportunity in San Francisco. It was very bad timing. He was staying in a boarding house and died during the Earthquake. Other then him, everyone stayed where they got off the ships. The German/Austrian/Hungarian neighborhood in NYC is called Yorkville or āGerman Townā. Itās on the Upper Eastside from 79th-96th. It is between 3rd Ave & The East River. Thatās where my family on both sides coincidentally started out.

Amazing video! As a Norwegian+Finnish-American in Minnesota, I never had any idea that was rare until I got older. A lot of my classmates had Swedish names too. I almost thought we were going to be skipped entirely, so this was an interesting lesson in how small that ethnic population is in the country overall, compared to my state specifically.

Great video. Iām an American descendant of slavery and you did a great job with speaking about our history and the Great Migration. My only complaint is that you lumped Black immigrants with Black Americans who are descendants of American Chattel Slavery. We are a separate ethnic group from Black immigrants that has been in America since the colonial era. We are quintessentially American. Additionally, Black Americans that are descendants of American Chattel Slavery are a mixed race group of people. We are an amalgamation of various African groups, mixed with various European groups primarily British, and many of us have Native American ancestry as well. I strongly believe that fact must be mentioned. You mentioned that Mexicans and Louisiana Creoles are an admixed people but failed to mention that about Black Americans. You would be extremely hard pressed to find a BlackAmerican who descends from American Chattel Slavery who does not have any European heritage.
