One thing I noticed that was very wierd about my dads family was this; the whole time they have lived in America they never married outside their ethnicity. I mean every man married a german girl and every girl married a german man.

That was a relatively common mindset back when our ancestors were finding husbands and wives. My husband told me the story of how his maternal great-grandfather disowned his son (my husband's grandfather) because the woman he married (my husband's grandmother) was only 3/4 English. He objected to her Irish blood
I imagine the old chap is turning in his grave knowing his grandson married a Polish/Italian/Slovenian mutt!
