Coming along very nice! I see how the subdivisions are helping. I have a map going for Illinois and I'd like to get going on Upper Virginia.
Thank you. I'll probably add those to the main map (and the ancillaries) when I receive them.
1. Madawaska (the little enclave to the north of New Hampshire) is VERY proud of its Acadian heritage. Probably some adjacent parts of Canada are also quite Acadian by ethnicity.
Noted.
2. I see that you've followed my language map for Christiana (the oldest map for the entire project that's still valid, if I'm not mistaken). But I'm fairly sure that they see themselves as part of a single Christianer ethnicity, one with a Mixed identity that can also be found in some parts of Poutaxia, Ohio, and possibly some places further west. They are considered a trilingual ethnic group, since people who identify with the culture might speak Swedish, Lenape, or English. Kind of like how the Pennamites are actually a bilingual group speaking both English and German. No worries about it, of course - I never did finish writing up the revised history of Christiana and its society. It's on the Weebly in outline form.
The Christianer ethnic group ended up absorbing quite a lot of the Swedes who immigrated in the 19th century. There are Swedish areas in Dakota and the Upper Country where the people identify as at least part-Christianer. The item in the outline says, "New waves of Swedish immigration; many move through to the plains of Dakota and the Upper Country. They are accompanied by a core of "old Swedish" settlers - actually Swedish-Lenape." So it probably varies by region and even by locality, but a lot of Swedish Americans think of themselves as being at least part Christianer-Lenape.
There are other Lenape in parts of Poutaxia, Allegheny, and Ohio who stayed separate from the Christianer. These would include the Moravian Lenape and some other western branches as well.
Well, I had to work from what I've been given (the linguistic map) and did the best I could.
