The first significant numbers arrived in the 1680s in [[New York (state)|New York]] and [[Pennsylvania]]. Some eight million German immigrants have entered the United States since that point. [[Immigration to the United States|Immigration]] continued in substantial numbers during the 19th century; the largest number of arrivals moved 1840–1900, when [[Germans]] formed the largest group of immigrants coming to the U.S., outnumbering the [[Irish Americans|Irish]] and [[English Americans|English]].<ref name="Dealing with Diversity">{{cite book |last=Adams |first=J.

Americans of German descent live in nearly every American county, from the East Coast, where the first German settlers arrived in the 17th century, to the West Coast and in all the states in between. German Americans and those Germans who settled in the U.S. have been influential in almost every field, from science, to architecture, to entertainment, and to commercial industry.

So I have been following Croatian heritage ever since I can remember. That's why people couldn't figure out why I have Diehl as my last name and Croatian GRB tattooed on my left arm. I grew up going to St. Jerome's Croatian Catholic Church with my Grandmother. Her maiden name was Semanic and she was from one of the Croatian islands. I remember going to St. Jerome's and having palacinke for breakfast. My grandmother married Grandpa who was Ante Bekavac from small village Bekavci near Lovrec in Imotski, Dalmacija, Croatia. My father Jerry who passed away in August was hundred percent German on both sides."</ref>
