Perusing the US Census website there is some ancestry data but <BR/><BR/>1. It doesn't cover any of the counties in question save for Pueblo.<BR/><BR/>2. It does not break down European ancestry. It does for Hispanics, Asians, American Indians and Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders. <BR/><BR/>I'm assuming that the counties we are discussing are far to small. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for diving in over here.

Could we find the percentages of county residents who are of Scots-Irish origin, versus German, French, Eastern European, etc.?<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, according to <A HREF="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21228584" REL="nofollow">MSNBC</A>, Clinton won Saguache County 87-80. I'm wondering if Coloradodems.org made a typo.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.com
