if your ancestors have been here since the Civil War, probably absolutely no chance unless they lived in secluded areas

we can know, they just need to trace their lines or do testing.

Angles and Saxons were Germanic tribes I think, they and the Jutes mixed when they came to England from Germany and they are the Anglo-Saxons.

no way Jose, vast majority of Southerners who claim to be German only say that because of a recent German ancestor.

The Appalachian folks were shipped over from Ukraine and other Slavic countries.

if he has been here as long as you say, you will have to trace all of the females lines as well to get a true answer. 
good luck.

Not in Louisiana.
Colonial Louisiana (which was Colonial French/Spanish and not English, of course) had many more German settlers than English.

South Louisiana as well as much of the south & mid-west had an influx after WWI due to the Austrian German migration.

I could have, but it would have been a waste of time, and money.

I'm both. English ancestors have been here longer. My German ancestors came over in 1869.
