The majority of immigrants from southern europe were of what origin?

Hey, Name's Jessy. I hope, I answer your question. 

The majority of Europeans immigrated to the Americas. The first wave of European immigrants to the United States from 1815 to 1860 included individuals from northwestern Europe. They were of English, Irish, Germanic & Scandinavian descent. The second wave came from 1865 to 1890. These immigrants also were from northwestern Europe. The third wave lasted from 1890 to 1914. These immigrants were largely from southern and eastern Europe and were of Austro-Hungarian, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Turkish, Russian, and Jewish descent.
