Hi all, Iowa County ethnicity: 1. Cornish 2. Cornish 3. Cornish 4. Norwegian 5. Irish 6. German Dane County ethnicity: I can't think of any group that has not been represented in Dane County. Perhaps not Cornish, maybe more English here (there is a difference). Well, that's what I come up with off the top of my head at least. Thanks!
