Very common, in most of the Appalacians as well. I would say that at least 25% of my father's ancestry is German, the remainder of which being a smattering of mostly Welsh, some Scottish, and a teeny bit of Cherokee. His people hailed from Southeastern Ohio and Western NC. My mothers side of the family hasn't turned up any German roots, however they hailed from the same areas, Scottish, Irish, and English (in that order).
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude
