This data comes from Family Search. Each US census from 1850-1940 was searched for people born in the Netherlands. The counts come from the filter by residence place in the sidebar. These numbers are very close to the numbers found when searching by state or territory name in the residence field, but make it easier to identify places that are included beyond the states. When a count exists for a state and for the territory of the same name they were combined. The numbers typically do not add up to match the total from the Netherlands. There are some problems with the search results for the 1940 census, noted in the table.
