Two important trends may influence the identities of the later-generation descendants of European immigrants in the USA: high levels of ongoing immigration to the USA from all over the world, and the growth of genetic testing for ancestry and ethnic origins. I suggest that these trends may modify Gans's predictions of what will happen to later-generation ethnicity. Both trends might lead to the maintenance of some type of identity, even if it is very thin, or even unrelated to the European immigrants who originally came to the USA.Keywords: identityimmigrationethnicitygeneticsaffiliative ethnicitysymbolic ethnicity Notes1. http://www.ancestry.com2. http://www.23andme.com3. http://www.familytreedna.comAdditional informationNotes on contributorsMary C.
