The Germans
According to Ancestry.com, my DNA shows 12% Sweden and Denmark, but only 2% "Germanic Europe," and yet I can identify no Scandinavian immigrants to America, but plenty from Germany (or Germanic Europe). What I'm hoping to do in my current family research is identify when each family immigrated to America. As for those who immigrated to America, I can identify these surnames: Bader, Bess, Biddle (Buttell), Closser (Glaser), Eberhard, Goodapple (Gutapfel), Haag, Hafer, Kober, Larue, Leibrock, and Moore (Mohr). What part of Germany were they from? Here's what I'm able to piece together so far. They were from the following contiguous areas. Baden-Wurtemberg : Bader, Buttell, Haag, Larue Rhineland-Palatinate : Bess, Kober, Leibrock, Mohr Bavaria : Closser Alsace : Gutapfel
