My theory is that one is far more likely for people to tag their English ancestry if it was via New England as opposed to the South. I assume my Virginia branch from which I get my mostly English surname were from England, but there is no record of when and from where they arrived in America because they were very low SES. They just surface in the records around 1750. The rest of the clan lines, some high SES, are through New England, and very well documented, and thanks to the Mormons, go back as far as about 1250 AD. With that kind of documentation, you find you can document your relationship with millions or people.
