Given there's no "Jewish" option in the US census, the ancestry question is "complicated." The distinction between "Russian", "Polish", "Romanian" etc. isn't really that meaningful, given that borders changed and people moved more than once. Yiddish-speaking Eastern European Jews were really one ethnic group (hence the high number of generic "Eastern European" responses).
