Last night I found the birth record for my grandfather (my dad's father). His ethnicity is shown as "Canadian." I know with certainty my grandfather was German (both his mother and father's immigrant ancestors came from Germany). I can't wait to get to Salt Lake to pull up the microfilm and see what the original document shows.
When I first started doing genealogy, my dad told me that when he was going through his intelligence clearance for the Army, the Army found an abnormality in my dad's lineage - someone had come to the US through Canada, and it wasn't properly documented. My dad told me his great-great grandparents on his mother's side were the culprits.
