German dialect in Texas is one of a kind, and dying out

[Stealhead]

That may be true but the fact that a person has blonde hair and blue eyes alone does not make them ethically German.That trait is possiable in any person that is at least partly Caucasian(White).

I see...

Our little town has been around for a heck of a long time. Our church was built in 1856 and it still stands. The town was here well before that.

I think that ethnic map is somewhat misleading it's not like you go from Germany to Mexican or English to French etc just by crossing a county line. There is a lot more ethnic mixing than the map implies. Most Americans are mutts. That's why they call us the melting pot.

That's very true...

Like i said, I'm part German, Italian, English, and Irish I do believe. I know my Mom's side is German/Italian and Dad's side definitely has English and I'll have to check up on the Irish part.

I'm one of those Mutts.

That proofs it again. For Europeans 200 miles is a long way to drive and for Americans 200 years is a long time.

The area of my town was first mentioned in 1347 (which is pretty young for the surrounding area which have settlements dating back more than a 1000 years).
(Which in turn is laughable for Egyptians and the like...)
