Preferred term

European immigrant families  

Definition

  • Descendants of immigrants from Europe whose ancestors came to permanently resettle in North America compose the greatest proportion of the population in the United States today. Although they are no longer the largest immigrant group, European immigration continues to this day, and immigrants face acculturation and adaptation challenges that are both similar and distinct from those faced by other immigrant groups.
