ULTURAL and historical geographers have long recognized that studies of population origins can contribute appreciably to the understanding of the character of a region. Differences in the economic, social, and political structures can often be related to differences in origin. In most parts of the United States the study of evolving ethnic patterns does not carry the interested scholar any farther back than the early or mid-nineteenth century; for the larger part of the country has been settled since that time. In spite of this relatively short interval, major problems exist because the historical geographer seeking to re-create the pattern of population origins is not well served by the published censuses of the United States. One might expect that in a country so ethnically diverse considerable attention would have been devoted to population origins, but this is not the case. In the censuses of 1790 through 1840, no specific questions were asked concerning origins, though occasionally there was a category for foreigners not naturalized.' In this respect, the first six censuses are little better than tax lists
