This is only one small aspect of the term. "Amerasian" can refer to any children of American and Asian parentage. RickK 03:39 4 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * Correct. It isn't just for the Vietnam War. For example, Mia Elliott, the lead character on Love is a Many Splendored Thing, was Amerasian as her father was a Korean War veteran. Mike H 17:21, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

 * Added one sentence to that effect. --Feitclub 23:04, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)

I happened upon this article because of the lyrics of 'Straight To Hell' by the Clash, it's a very beautiful song and I think would be intriguing to anyone interested in this subject. pomegranate 22:27, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Definition of "Amerasian" seems to be racially strained. It usually describes children with non-Asian accenstry American servicemen and Asian parentage. Yet its definition depends on the definition of American. There are White, Hispanic, African and Asian American. Definition of American is not racially related since America is a country of immigrants. Some Asian have been in the America for more than 6 generations, yet many would not consider them as American because they were under presented in the American history.

Amer?
Doesn't take into account that America is also a continent (see use of the word American).

Question about Illigitimate Amerasians childrens of Mail-order brides / grooms
The Majority of Amerasians are sons and daughters of prostitutes, and 'mail-order brides fathered by Old man US service mens ? Most mother's OF Amerasians are mail-order brides seeking to get a green card in the United States!! Correct me if I'm wrong?

 * That's, so far, an unfounded allegation, based on bizarre generalizations and seemingly bigotry. There are currently no documented statistics that can back up your statements about the mothers' supposed professions, motives and intentions. Unless you can provide documented statistics and valid sources - yes, you're wrong.
 * Furthermore, due to certain countries' cultural beliefs about blood lineage in the past, some mothers, married or not, of half-foreign children were labelled 'prostitute' or 'whore', but this does not necessarily mean they were prostitutes. It's important to remember that some mothers were documented victims of sexual assault (or, bluntly, rape). Some mothers had had serious relationships that ended naturally. Some were married women. In spite of these circumstances, they were still labelled 'prostitute'. So, this is a matter of a soci-cultural conflict, not a fact.
 * As for this allegation: most mothers of Amerasians are mail order brides seeking to get a green card in the United States? I'm sorry, but that is such a silly thing to say, considering the U.S. history of mail order brides (i.e. there were mail order brides from all over the world including Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Canada and more, particularly during 19th century and 20th century) and the fact that the United States is historically a country of immigrants.
 * Do read anecdotal history books, such as Hearts West: True Stories of Mail-Order Brides on the Frontier by Chris Enss, Romance on a Global Stage: Pen Pals, Virtual Ethnography, and "Mail Order" Marriages by Nicole Constable, Korean Picture Brides: 1903-1920 : A Collection of Oral Histories by Sonia Shinn Sunoo, Black Women of the Old West by William Loren Katz, and more.
 * Lastly, seeing your sub-header, how can Amerasian children be illegitimate if their mothers were mail order brides? 0zero9nine (talk) 05:11, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

the asians criated terms very non-sense
se assumam como asiáticos; the afro-americans(the majority with europeans and/or amerindians ancestors) not auto-denominated "mulattoes" or "zambos"; the phillipines invented supost "spaniards" ancestors pra se declararem "mestizos" ao invés de se assumirem asians!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.71.77.13 (talk) 08:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Amer?
Arnt Americans mongoloid in case of the natives?--82.134.154.25 (talk) 05:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Not Amerasians
I unfortunately, had to remove well sourced content from this article as it fails to fall within the scope of this article. This article is about Asians who have ancestry where one parent was a United States armed forces service member. Therefore those serving for Spanish Empire do not fall within the scope of this article. Please do not re-add it without achieving a consensus for a change in scope for this article per WP:BRD. Perhaps the removed content would be better in the Mexican settlement in the Philippines article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:49, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Please stop reverting, this might constitute an edit war and it is not keeping with BRD. While Mexico is in North America, Mexicans or those who lived in New Spain are not Americans nor were those service members from the Viceroy of New Spain service members of the United States Armed Forces. The content which added does not fall within the scope of this article, and thus was removed.   can you please provide an additional opinion regarding this issue?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:21, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The article at present defines Ameriasians as those with a US military father. If it was a general "North American" then perhaps it would bekong on the article, but this article refers exclusively to people from the United States of America. Alcherin (talk) 11:13, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, since my edits isn't considered under the scope of Amerasian, I think I'll just put it in the other article about Mexican Settlement in the Philippines. Gintong Liwanag Ng Araw (talk) 15:44, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Expand to new pages
Vietnamese and Filipino Amerasians should be expanded to new separate pages. There are more research on these two groups now.

Issues with Vamlos
There seems to be issues with user Vamlos's contributions as per their User Talk page: User_talk:Vamlos. He just deleted content on this page without a valid reason or discussion. Please keep an eye on this person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amerasianeditor (talk • contribs) 11:26, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

 * No. I just removed the ones that are extremely exaggerated. Taiwanese Amerasians are few in comparison, around 1,000  There are Taiwanese Eurasians in almost every western world, doesn't mean we should mention every country just like there are Chinese Eurasians everywhere.  The Laos Amerasians are also unknown.  The number of Thai Amerasians is at 5000-8000, but you edited the section without mentioning that only "some" Thai Amerasians migrated.Vamlos (talk) 00:53, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Understood User_talk:Vamlos. Much appreciated. I have the data from my university days but unfortunately, all my sources are boxed up in the US.

In the early 1840s, after several years of failed crops and as food became scarce, much of the canton of Glarus in Switzerland found itself deep in poverty. With more workers than available jobs, the government of the canton saw emigration to America as a solution. Authorities established the Glarus Emigration Society in 1844, which offered loans to help residents purchase land in the New World. All other expenses associated with the voyage to America were to be paid by the emigrants themselves. Men were offered 20 acre free of rent for ten years, after which they could own the land for a mere ten shillings per acre. Given the desperate economic conditions in Switzerland, 193 volunteers decided to leave their homeland to start anew in America.

In 1845, magistrates in Glarus dispatched two men, Nicolas Duerst and Fridolin Streiff, to find a suitable location for a colony in the New World. They were given $2600 and instructions to purchase land, build cabins, and prepare for the settlers to arrive the following spring.

Duerst and Streiff began their search in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois before reaching St. Louis, Missouri. In the early days of July 1845, they then traveled north to Galena, Illinois, after which they arrived at the land office in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. The men investigated several tracts of farm and timber land in the southern Wisconsin territory before deciding on two square miles along the Little Sugar River. On July 17, 1845, they purchased 1200 acre for $1.25 per acre. It was a fertile basin bounded with hills and a large stand of trees nearby. Some said later it was not the best property available, but the valley and hilltops reminded them of their native Switzerland.

The land that would become the Village of New Glarus was untamed wilderness, which had been inhabited by Native Americans for centuries. An Indian trail passed just south of present-day New Glarus, through what is now New Glarus Woods State Park. That trail later became the main thoroughfare to and from New Glarus. Even as late as 1845 the remnants of an old wigwam were still found near there.

Anxious to begin a fresh life in the New World, families in Switzerland decided to depart much earlier than expected. On April 10, 1845, the group left Glarus on a barge bound for Rotterdam. From there they expected to sail into New York City where friends were scheduled to meet them. Dishonest agents, however, routed them to Baltimore, Maryland, where they first set foot in America after a 49-day voyage. Without any knowledge of the whereabouts of Duerst and Streiff, the former residents of Glarus left Baltimore searching for the two men who arrived before them and the land chosen for their new home.

During their journey across America, the Swiss pioneers heard rumors that Duerst and Streiff had died. Undaunted, the group continued their difficult journey west. When they arrived in St. Louis, it was said that the settlers were covered with mosquito bites and very nearly approaching starvation. From St. Louis they then boarded a steamboat for Galena, Illinois.

Shortly after arriving in Galena, the settlers from Switzerland were excited to learn Duerst and Streiff were alive and had already secured land for their new settlement. Overjoyed, 18 men left that night on foot and walked 62 mi to the location of the settlement. Wagons were then dispatched back to Galena for the remainder of the immigrants still there. After a long journey that took four months and five days, 108 settlers arrived at their new home on August 15, 1845. Three members of their party died on the way to southern Wisconsin. The balance found work or friends along the way; many more joined the colony later the following year.

The early years
In all, the New Glarus settlers purchased 1200 acre for their new home. Many of the pioneers were carpenters, mechanics, and farmers; trades that proved useful as the settlers prepared for their first winter in the Wisconsin Territory. A sum of $1,000 was used by the settlers that winter to purchase tools, cattle, seed, and other provisions, all of which had to be repaid with the price of the land within ten years of the formation of the colony. Twelve families stayed in the community's only wooden hut that first winter, which was built on the same property where the Swiss United Church of Christ is presently located. Their diet consisted mainly of potatoes and grated cheese, a dish also known as Röschti. They also ate fish caught from the Little Sugar River. Bread, it was said, was a rarity, and meat even more so. To earn money to survive their first winter, the settlers worked in the nearby lead mines in Exeter and Mineral Point. In 1851 the first store in New Glarus opened, followed in 1853 by the first hotel, and in 1870 by the first cheese factory.

Two years after New Glarus was founded, another group of immigrants arrived from "Old Glarus." Then, one by one, more arrived, and the population of New Glarus was reinforced by new settlers from their motherland. The 1870 census showed 1,247 natives of Switzerland living in Green County, Wisconsin. By 1878 the 22 original 20 acre parcels owned by the first settlers had grown to more than 30000 acre around New Glarus.

Eventually every Swiss franc loaned to the settlers was returned to their former home in Switzerland with interest. Then in 1861 a terrible fire devastated much of the town of Glarus, the capital of the Swiss canton from which the settlers had originated. The fire destroyed 593 buildings while over 3,000 people lost their roofs and everything they owned. To aid their former countrymen back in their native homeland, the residents of New Glarus collected and dispatched more money than what they received in the form of a loan from Glarus 16 years earlier. And then in 1881 when much of the town of Elm, also in the canton of Glarus, was buried in the great Rockslide of Elm killing 114 people, the residents of New Glarus rushed to help again: this time sending $20,000 back to the old country.

Though they had only been residents in America a very short time, 98 Glarners fought for the Union during the American Civil War. The residents of tiny New Glarus contributed to other American wars, too. The Swiss Miss Textile Mart and Lace Factory in New Glarus made chevrons and insignia for U.S. military uniforms during World War II. Walter Gabriel Schindler, who was born in New Glarus, fought in that same war and received the Navy Cross and Silver Star. Kevin Patrick Lynch from New Glarus also received the Navy Cross in World War II. In 2001, Henry Janisch, a native of New Glarus, became "one of the first Marine(s) off the first helicopter" in the opening moments of the War in Afghanistan.

Agriculture
After their first winter in the New World, the residents of New Glarus purchased cattle from Ohio at $12 a head. This stock was the birth of dairy farming and cheese making in New Glarus, a trade many had learned from their fathers and forefathers in Switzerland. Soon the herds of dairy cows in and around New Glarus swelled and dairy products proved lucrative.

Nickolaus Gerber, who moved from New York, started the first cheese factories in New Glarus, beginning with the area's first Limburger cheese factory four miles (6 km) southwest of New Glarus. He later built America's first Swiss cheese (also known as Emmental in Switzerland) factory on the Dietrich Freitag farm outside of New Glarus in Washington township.

Following the end of the Civil War, and with the evolution of the cheese production, the prosperity of New Glarus and neighboring communities grew. At its peak in 1905, New Glarus boasted 22 cheese factories; so many it was said the crossroads of the town were congested with daily deliveries of milk to the Limburger and Swiss cheese factories. New Glarus quickly became known as the "Cheese Capital of the World." Today only one Limburger cheese factory remains near New Glarus; the last of its kind in all of North America. Despite declining popularity of Limburger cheese, the area around New Glarus still boasts the largest concentration of specialty cheese factories and award-winning cheesemakers anywhere in the United States.

In 1910 Helvetia Milk Condensing Company, of Highland, Illinois, opened a factory in New Glarus to make sweetened condensed milk. It quickly became the village's largest employer. It bought large quantities of milk from farms in the area, and as a result, most of the local cheese factories closed. In 1923, the Helvetia Milk Condensing was renamed the Pet Milk Company. In 1962 Pet Milk Company closed its condensing plant in New Glarus, forever changing the fabric of the small town. Agricultural-based businesses, once integral to the New Glarus economy, disappeared. Cheese factories, farm equipment dealerships, feed mills, hardware stores, and other businesses that profited from local agribusiness were soon gone. But the plant's closure also spurred the development of tourism as a new source of income for New Glarus, as it promoted the village's ethnic history as a Swiss colony.

Heritage
The village of New Glarus is a popular tourist destination best known for its Swiss heritage, old world architecture, ethnic dining, small independently owned craft brewery, and outdoor festivals.

More than 160 years after it was founded, New Glarus has maintained much of its Swiss heritage and old world traditions. Swiss-style chalets and flower boxes filled with red geraniums grace the streets of the village and Swiss flags fly next to the American flag at many businesses and homes. Old World meat markets, restaurants, and a Swiss bakery are also found in downtown New Glarus, along with folk art, museums, and Swiss-style shops. Many Swiss customs are still alive in New Glarus, including the card game Jass, yodeling, and flag tossing. Today New Glarus is the best known Swiss settlement in America.

Tourism
In the years leading up to World War II, an economic crisis affected much of the agriculture and dairy industry in New Glarus. Many residents left the community to look for work elsewhere and leaders became concerned about the future of their small Swiss community. Representatives of the village consulted with the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Swiss American Historical Society to find a solution. It was decided that tourism could help resurrect the local economy and preserve its identity. Local businesses began changing the way they did business, actively promoting the heritage of New Glarus. Swiss chalet-style architecture began appearing throughout the village and festivals, once intended for local consumption, became frequented by tourists from throughout the upper Midwest. By 1999, the village municipal code was amended to require Swiss architecture to new construction and renovation.

Arnold Wieser, owner of the Swiss Miss Textile Mart and Lace Factory, became a de facto ambassador for New Glarus. As he traveled through the Midwest peddling his embroidery and Swiss lace at festivals and fairs, Wieser actively marketed the community and its Swiss heritage.

Roger Bright, whose polka band played in 33 states, Canada, and Europe, also became an ambassador for New Glarus. Bright's Cleveland-style polka included a Swiss influence and wherever he played he promoted New Glarus. Bright's music was recorded on 35 albums, including hit songs such as "Everywhere You Go" and "Come to the Mountain." When not on the road, the band was a fixture at the New Glarus Hotel on most weekends. In the early 1970s Bright played on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson with the Emmy Award-winning Frankie Yankovic. He also appeared on the Phil Donahue Show and performed with the St. Louis Pops Orchestra.

Historical events

 * In 1887 the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis Railroad, often referred to as the Milwaukee Road, extended its railroad line to New Glarus, which provided passenger and freight service to the rest of the country. Over time it became one of the railroad’s most profitable lines due to its many milk and cheese shipments. Dubbed the Limburger Express, the line remained open until March 30, 1972, when the Limburger Express made its final run ending 85 years of service to New Glarus. Today 24 miles of the abandoned railroad line from New Glarus to Brodhead, Wisconsin has become the Sugar River State Trail, which is enjoyed by bicycle, snowmobile, and outdoor enthusiasts. And the former railroad depot in New Glarus, the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul Railroad Depot was restored and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
 * In 1905 a proposal was presented to the people of New Glarus that Limburger cheese be "declared legal tender for the payment of all debts and a medium of exchange throughout the district."
 * Joseph W. Weinberg, a physicist who worked for the University of Minnesota and son-in-law of former New Glarus mayor Gilbert P. Hoesly, was accused of passing wartime atomic secrets to Steve Nelson, a Croatian-born American Communist leader. Weinberg, dubbed "Scientist X," was closely shadowed by 10 government counterespionage agents when he and his wife visited New Glarus in 1945 and was later subpoenaed by the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee in 1948.
 * Senator John F. Kennedy campaigned in New Glarus before the Wisconsin Presidential primary election on April 1, 1960.
 * In 1968 three Amish farmers—Jonas Yoder, Wallace Miller and Adin Yutzy—refused to enroll their 14 and 15-year-old children at New Glarus High School. They were fined $5 each for violating Wisconsin's compulsory-school-attendance law. It became the basis of Wisconsin v. Yoder, in which the United States Supreme Court in 1972 found that compulsory education past eighth grade did not apply to Amish children, as it violated their fundamental right to freedom of religion.
 * Deb Carey, founder and president of New Glarus Brewing Company, was a guest of President Barack Obama in the first lady’s box at his State of the Union address before the United States Congress on February 12, 2013, in Washington, D.C.
 * The New Glarus High School boys' basketball team won the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) Division 4 boys' basketball championship game in Madison, Wisconsin, on March 16, 2019. It was the school's first state championship in any sport and its first visit to the boys' basketball state tournament since 1932.

Food and dining
Despite its small size, New Glarus is known for many traditional Swiss dishes, including specialties rarely seen outside of Switzerland. Foods served in New Glarus include:

 * Röschti (or Rösti) – Considered the national dish of Switzerland, it is also a favorite dish in New Glarus. A meal eaten by the early Swiss settlers after first arriving in the New World, Röschti is made with grated potatoes, onions, Swiss cheese, and fresh herbs. Röschti is fried and shaped into rounds or patties. Originally served as a breakfast dish, it is now commonly available as a side dish at most restaurants in New Glarus.
 * Kalberwurst – A sausage with a distinctive, creamy flavor that originated in the Canton of Glarus, kalberwurst is made with veal, milk, ground crackers, and mild spices. It has a smooth texture and mild taste, and although most sausages are smoked, kalberwurst is not. It is often cooked with onions and gravy. Many Swiss restaurants in New Glarus serve kalberwurst and it is also a featured dish at the community's annual Kilby Supper.
 * Spaetzli (or Spätzle) – Spaetzli are small, boiled and fried dumplings made with eggs, flour, and salt. Roughly translated, spaetzli means "small sparrows," which refers to the dumpling's small shape and size.
 * Landjaeger (or Landjäger) – A dried sausage made with beef, pork, lard, sugar, and spices, landjaegers are often eaten as snacks. Pressed into a mold, which gives them a distinctive rectangular shape, landjaegers were sent to soldiers from New Glarus fighting in Europe during World War II because they could be kept without refrigeration. The word Landjaeger means "gamekeeper". The popularity of the sausage has increased over the years and is now sold at most grocery stores, convenience stores, and taverns throughout southern Wisconsin.
 * Braetzeli – A braetzeli is a wafer-thin cookie with an almond-vanilla taste. Handmade braetzelis are extremely difficult and time-consuming to make. They are cooked on a special Swiss iron, which imprints a decorative pattern on both sides of the cookie.

Other examples of Swiss cuisine commonly available in New Glarus include bratwurst, fondue, Älplermagronen (Alpine macaroni), Zopf, chaeschuechli, schnitzel, chocolates, and Swiss Stollen.

Transportation
Completed in 1887, a railroad to New Glarus was constructed on the Brodhead-New Glarus branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. The route was nicknamed "The Limburger Special." Service to and from New Glarus ceased in 1972, ten years after the Pet Milk plant in the village closed, which provided most of the freight carried on the rail line. Shortly after the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced the purchase of the 276-acre, 22.78-mile right-of-way for $74,000. It later became the Sugar River State Trail. The New Glarus station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Language
The original dialect of Swiss-German, Glarnerdütsch, was brought from the town and region of Glarus in Switzerland and had been spoken in the New Glarus to a recent point. As of now, the Glarner language of New Glarus contains many older grammatical forms, words, and pronunciations not heard in the original town of Glarus, Switzerland, anymore. It is primarily spoken by older inhabitants of the area and is rarely heard on a daily basis anymore.

A recording to the dialect in archived form is available from the Max-Kade Institute for German-American Studies.

One of the oldest businesses is the family-owned Wallenfangs of Green Lake, established in 1975 and nestled just north of downtown Green Lake on 24 acres of what was once the historic Thrasher farm. Since that humble beginning in 1975, the business has grown from the cheese haus, ice cream parlor, and antiques shop, to include a gallery loft of fine art and furniture.

Green Lake is also home to several parks for public enjoyment.
 * Deacon Mills Park is located on South Lawson Drive at the Marina and has a band shell, picnic facilities, and ice skating in the winter.

The Dartford Cemetery, located in Green Lake, has been a focus of reported paranormal activity in the area. Some visitors to the cemetery claim to have been tripped by ghosts or "pushed off" the mausoleum when sitting or standing on it, even seeing apparitions of child victims who died of a disease (possibly polio) or a Native American chief. These sightings and experiences have been featured in the episode "Legend Trippers" of the Discovery Channel's A Haunting series.
