Anyone good with finding census info online?

I'm trying to find a breakdown of the towns/cities in America with the highest concentration of italians/italian americans.

I need to spread my seed amongst my peeps and segregate.

Yes most of Northern America claims German ancestry, I believe the American corresponds to Native American, because the distribution looks nearly the same on the Native American map.

considering its mostly in tenn and kentucky im going to guess its because they dont know who their relatives really are

I can believe that. The German thing puzzles me, tho, most of farm country lists itself as German. I can understand PA and Ohio, but the rest is strange.

Well ... I confess to have done a teeny tiny smidge of geneology and I have family from the TN area. Actually you get a HUGE mix of people genetically there, in five generations I got: german, english, scottish, irish, dutch, jewish, and american indian.

You can't blame people for not knowing what genetic mix they've got, they may have had ancestors who've been living in/owning land in the area for over 300 years, my father could go to the family graveyards with dates back into the 1700s ... but the races are SO blended -- you end up with people who dropped or changed the spelling of family names, Amer. Indians from that area frequently have Scottish or Irish surnames (a lot of them had their names changed for them and then changed them again in an attempt to conceal their identity as much as possible to avoid having to haul it out to the midwest).
