According to Wikipedia, there are several European migrant nationalities represented by 'Amish'.

German, Dutch, and Swiss, apparently are represented in the different sects. Particularly, "The history of the Amish church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish."

All the American Amish, however, are today considered Americans.
