The U.S. Census ancestry data indicates the first and second ancestry reported on the census returns. Because many individuals have multiple ancestries - and the ethnic mixing of the population increases each generation - many persons who are partly of English or Irish ancestry may not report it. [...] In addition, the 5 year 2010-14 American Community Survey showed 22,365,250 persons indicting American ancestry, disproportionately overrepresented in the Upland South, a region whose settlement history is largely British. Thus, in all reality, the figures [...] underestimate the population that is of British ancestry [...].
[...] even the basic outline of the diaspora remains vague. It was never a controlled movement and it was mostly poorly documented. Migrants are always difficult to categorise and to count. [...] The scale of the modern British dispersion has been estimated at about 200 million, [...] or, counting those who can claim descent from British and Irish emigrants, more than three times the current population of the British Isles.
