In the 1980 census 1,584,303 Georgians claimed English ancestry out of a total state population of 3,994,817 making them 40% of the state and the largest ethnic group at the time Today many of these same people claiming that they are of "American" ancestry are actually of English descent and some are of Scots-Irish descent; however their families have lived in the state for so long in many cases since the colonial period that they choose to identify simply as having "American" ancestry or do not in fact know their own ancestry Their ancestry primarily goes back to the original thirteen colonies and for this reason many of them today simply claim "American" ancestry though they are of predominantly English ancestry; . .
