"As the most detailed resource on the market today that looks at the ethnic makeup of the US, this second edition offers expanded data based on places with populations greater than 7,500, drawn from the 2010 US Census... Besides having more current census data, this updated two-volume set features significant improvements...Recommended." -Choice

"There is nothing comparable to Ancestry in America…the compilation and synthesis of disparate data files…along with the comparative rankings, make this a value-added, easy-to-use publication. Recommended for academic, public, and special libraries." -RUSQ

"Many libraries will find this resource useful for answering the occasional reference question on ethnic backgrounds in specific places. However, Ancestry in America should also prove a statistical bonanza for those doing in-depth research on ethnic population in the U.S." -Against the Grain

"This book is a practical market research tool. It can be used to identify new markets and to more effectively promote to exisitng markets by creating targeted campaigns building on cultural preferences." -ARBA
