ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — When it comes to ancestral roots, it turns out the Germans have a leg up in Florida.
New U.S. Census data released last week shows that about 10 percent of Florida’s 20 million residents say they have German ancestry.
About 9 percent of Floridians claim Irish roots, more than 7 percent claim English ancestry and 7 percent claim Cuban roots.
The ancestral roots with the smallest representation in Florida were Somalis, Ugandans and people from Sierra Leone.
