German immigrants don’t get talked about nearly as much as their Irish and Italian peers, but for most of the 19th century they were the leading place of origin for immigrants arriving in the US.
So this isn’t surprising at all. In rural Illinois, and I’m guessing Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, etc., Brauns and Schneiders vastly outnumber Browns and Taylors.
Btw, ‘American’ ancestry pretty much means Ulster/Protestant Irish settlers that dotted the southern frontiers and stopped referring to themselves as Irish when the other kind of Irish people started showing up in large numbers.
