1. PA RESEARCH, Reading, Norristown [1]
Hi Lists, I apologize if you are getting this post more than once as I am on several lists. I just returned this past Friday from a week in PA and NJ. In addition to visiting my parents in NJ, I spent several days researching in Reading and Norristown. I broke through one brick wall at the Berks County Genealogical Society when I researched in the Hunsberger Book. I found the ancestors of my gggrandfather, JESSE FRANKLIN HUNSBERGER and discovered that they were German speaking Swiss Mennonites who ori
2. Conrad TREWITS, fraktur artist [1]
Conrad TREWITS (1750-1830), fraktur artist & schoolteacher, lived & worked in Berks County as well as several other areas of PA. Because of his occupations, he lived as an itinerant and is very hard to track. Among Conrad's children was a son, Philip TREWITS, who I believe married my ggggrandmother, Susannah EBLING TOBIAS (widow of Jonathan Tobias), sometime between 1825-1827. So far, I have been unable to document where Philip & Susannah TREWITZ lived, whether they had children (Susannah had 4 ch
3. Re: PA DUTCH [1]
Good morning, I wanted to share another PA Dutch example that my brother related to me. We grew up in Spring Twp. (originally Cumru), Berks County, PA, where most of our ancestors began to settle in the 1700s. My parents and grandparents always spoke to each other in PA Dutch, but by the time I was growing up- the late 30's and early 40's, my parents used English when speaking to us younger children. When my older brother was serving in the ARMY in WW II, he was assigned to go to Casablanca and bring Germ
4. Pa Dutch vs English [1]
My father and gr father spoke PA Dutch, especially when they didn't want us kids to know what they were talking about. I had to take a class to learn the basics and build on that. It is my understanding that the reason families stopped teaching the children to speak PA Dutch was because the "English" (anyone other than PA Dutch), called them the Dumb Dutch. Parents did not want their children to have such a label so they stopped teaching them the language. However, the Amish and some of the Old Order
5. RE: Analysis of PA Dutch Language [1]
One of the posts on this thread commented that PA Deutsch was observed to be like Schwdbisch. It is certainly true that there are some similarities. W|rttemberg and Pfalz are adjoining regions. However, there are some striking differences. 1. Where Pfdlzisch differs from Hochdeutsch by using "ei" where "eu" is more common. Schwdbisch goes the other way. The name Moyer is directly the Schwdbisch pronunciation of Maier. I have seen "verheiratet" misspelled "verheuratet" in a church book from

Query posted to the Berks Co. web site: SCHNEIDERS of Snyderville Posted by Doug Garber on Sat, 29 Jan 2000 Surname: SCHNEIDER, GERBER, REAM Snyderville Cemetery is adjacent to a house once owned by SCHNEIDERs. We think that John GERBER b 1785, a grandson of Johannes GERBER d 1777 Cumru Twp., Berks Co., PA, married one of these SCHNEIDERs abt 1820 after his first wife died. Her name may have been Fanny and her sister may have been Elizabeth Schneider REAM -- they were living in Exet
12. [PABERKS] Re: German Hessen's [1]
Sorry, but the story of the German mercenaries fighting for the British isn't that easy. Finding a link to a Hessian ancestor is even harder. Check out this site, http://web.cgocable.net/~hessian/index.html, to start your search and find out the real history of the Hessians in the Revolutionary War. BTW, I am a direct descendant of one of the 3,000 Hessian soldiers who stayed in North America after the war. Bob Bensing ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene and Jan McCullough" To:

15. Assimilation to English [1]
My sister, who works in a nursing home near Quakertown, PA, writes: It is interesting to note that several of the evening adult schools in the Quakertown area teach PA Dutch. We have quite a few people in the nursing home who can speak it, and only one staff member who can. Since it is really a dialect I believe, it is amazing to think how long it has held up. Anyway it means a lot to our residents to speak to someone in their own dialect! Ellen

17. Re: Assimilation to English by German immigrants in Penna [1]
Chris, My grandparents and my parents spoke PA Dutch well into the 1950's. I grew up in Schuylkill Haven, where eventually we got a telephone with party-line connection. I remember picking up the receiver many times to hear a Dutch conversation going on. So back in the 1950's the language was still alive, though most people spoke English as well. Alas, the PA Dutch language was not passed on to my generation! I have two theories: (1) Anytime the elders in our family were talking about somethin
18. Annals of Oley Valley [1]
If you are talking about the "Annals of Oley Valley" by Rev. P.C. Croll D.D. of Womelsdorf, published by the Reading Eale Press in 1926, it is a 6" x 9" soft cover book with 183 pages. By now it's probably considered a rare book and if you are lucky you might find a copy in some used books store somewhere. Betty Burdan
19. Humorous PA Dutch story [1]
These stories about PA Dutch have been most enlightening. I would like to add a humorous one. My brother-in-law is the youngest of 16 children and grew up speaking PA Dutch. When he started first grade (Kindergarten did not used to be required in Lancaster County, PA), he did not know English. Obviously he learned and his current vocation takes him all over the world. During one visit to Germany, he was speaking in Low German, as we call it around here, and some other Germans overheard him. He unders

Hello, all, I've subscribed to this list for the purpose of possibly discovering more about my 3g grandmother, Phebe Hilles (Mrs. James) Starr and her family. Phebe was b. 1808 (we think); m. James Starr on May 7, 1828 (not July 5, as some records report; an obvious transposition of the month & day numbers; we have the original marriage certificate); and d. about 1850. The marriage certificate of James and Phebe was signed by many people as witnesses, but there is a box on the right in the signature

23. Long/Lang surname; Berks Co. Militia [1]
Hello, I am researching the LONG/LANG surname. I was wondering about the availability and cost of obtaining birth, marriage, and death records for Berks Co. for the mid-1700's - early 1800's. Specifically, I am looking for Jacob Long (Lang) who was born in Berks Co. in 1757. He and his father John Nicholas Long both served in the Berks Co. Militia. Also, Jacob's wife Elizabeth died in Berks Co. in 1807. Any information would be much appreciated! Thank you, Tara Lowry Tbella9@aol.com

Obviously this was a passenger list but what passenger list. Not everyone has access to the book "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" so the page reference is moot. For all our benefits, please include the name of the ship, the captain, dates of arrival and what list it is from.
