AbstractThe areas in Texas shown in [Terry G.] Jordan's map of 1970 to be predominantly ethnic German were found independently by means of demographic and linguistic studies to still contain considerable numbers of German speakers, some representing the fifth and sixth generations in Texas. Based on the United States Censuses of Population for 1850, 1860, and 1870, tabulations of the immigrants' origins within Germany indicated a strong preponderance of North and Middle Germany over South Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
