	# = For Wayne County, KY, I can't find exact percent; it is the plurality of responses, however. * = For Lafourche Parish, I don't have an exact percent for this Ancestry. The number reflects % of homes where the ancestral language is the one primarily spoken.

	Man, I tried "Finnish" for every Michigan county except Marquette! Also, I kept trying "Latino" and "Mexican" for Rio Arriba. Tried every Pacific Rim nation for Kauai. Never would have got Ottawa or Wayne. I loved the challenge of this. Great work! :) I'd love to try a longer version...maybe ethnicities by state, most populous cities, or some other variation?

	Why'd you put "American" for Wayne?

	Wayne County, Kentucky, like many counties, had a plurality of people report their ancestry as "American."

	I typed "Inuit" and "Alaska Native" for Dillingham, but neither one of them worked. I know Inuit is probably an incorrect term for the natives of Alaska, but I think Alaska Native should be accepted.

	You can't accept countries for some answers & nationality for another. The accepted answers should be uniform.

	@Korenkiewicz: "Inuit" is the preferred term by Canadian and Greenland natives, but not by Alaskans. From the Alaska Native Language Center: "Most Alaskans continue to accept the name 'Eskimo,' particularly because 'Inuit' refers only to the Inupiat of northern Alaska, the Inuit of Canada, and the Kalaallit of Greenland, and it is not a word in the Yupik languages of Alaska and Siberia."
