Hi,   Re Phil's question, I notice the same thing about my home county, Gogebic, in Michigan's UP in the 1880 data. I think in Gogebic County's case both of the following were true. 1. Records were not being collected in that county yet 2. There were not enough to count yet. Ironwood, Gogebic's, biggest town, began to take shape between 1880 and 1885. The iron mines began to be opened during that period.   Bill Sullivan --- On Wed, 3/11/09, Phil Brown <ppbrown@cox.net> wrote: From: Phil Brown <ppbrown@cox.net> Subject: Re: [BEARA] Interactive Map To: beara@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2009, 12:57 PM Very neat, though I'm surprised there aren't any Irish dots around Butte, MT.

Remember the census definition of Irish is born in Ireland, second generation and later would not be included. Re Butte, the dots are based on absolute numbers, not the proportion of Irish in the population.
