I have both Swedish and German ancestry, and many other ancestry too. I am Catholic. Is the population of Scandinavian ancestry in California more dispersed between different denominations than in the Dakotas?
I wouldn't know how to answer that, but people with significant Scandinavian ancestry are a tiny minority in California, so a small sample size could lead to unreliable patterns:

There are almost no native Catholics in Scandinavia, so presumably someone either converted or was a product of a mixed marriage at some point.
I am a descendant of people from mixed marriages. I mentioned that previously. Isn't that more likely to be the case in California?
