Is there much of a meaningful distinction anymore? My great grandfather immigrated from the UK, but I have other ancestors that came on the Mayflower. There’s a lot of intermarriage among even white groups now. It’s not very weird to see someone who’s half Greek, half old stock Anglo.
@Ald Depends on where
The South is almost exclusively anglo celtic
Old map, but relevant
We were told for ages that it wasn't that important, well now we have hard data that is kind of is
@Tyler0317 *ahem*
There's not much of a meaningful distinction now. Those who are virtually one thing (like I about 80% English old stock) are rare and even I have an immigrant great great grandparent

I'm 3/4 pre Revolutionary War old stock and 1/4 early 20th century immigrant stock
