Glory ,'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In Maine I've known them as bulkies, in Western NY as kummelweck (aka, kimmelweck, weck or wick) and every place else I've lived as kaiser.
eta: to be clear, to really count as weck, it needs caraway seeds and salt, but you could get plain ones, and these would be kaiser rolls
You can answer what you want to the ancestry question. Some people just say American, for whatever reason. I mean, my memere will make the argument that her family has been on this continent for 400 years, so why aren't they just "American," but then why do I still call her memere?
There's a category for "American" ancestry (not American Indian) - what's that supposed to mean?
I'd guess that's for people who don't want to describe themselves by ethnic ancestry, and instead just call themselves "American".

It's ultimately a question about how you self-identify, so almost anything, I guess.

Maybe fourth of fifth generation American?
Another ancestry question: At what point does someone just become "American" vs. (for example) "German-American"?
eta: I guess that was just answered by Amy.

People who came here from Canada?

Descendents of Vespucci, I believe.
The Oh picture startled me too. Not sure why I didn't believe the very clear description, looked at it, and then had to go back to check.
I need to remember there's a Mark functionality for a reason.

That's the first thing I thought.
I think that the Western and Southern European populations are going down, but the Central and Eastern ones are staying level/increasing in the past 15 years or so. I know that the Polish population in Chicago is actually going down a bit, but only because the younger ones who came over in the 1980s and 90s are now getting married and heading for the 'burbs (Elmwood Park and Franklin Park, especially) with their families. This is good, because there are now more Polish bakeries and restaurants along Harlem Avenue--yay for pierogies and kolachkies!
