Thank you for sharing this. My husband's ancestry is Germans from South
Russia. His parents didn't teach him German for this very reason and he was
born in 1959. How sad that folks are prejudiced.

Subject: [OH-HAMILT] Newport German Pioneer Society Information

For those who asked about the German Pioneer Society across the river in
Kentucky, I ran across this yesterday and thought it would be very
helpful. They list all the charter members and give some history about
the society. This next paragraph is an excerpt off the website at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~kycchgs/GermanClub.htm

The Covington and Newport Pioneer Clubs were formed in the summer of
1877 and appear to have spun off an existing club in Cincinnati.
Readers may be interested in knowing that the Campbell County Historical
Society has an old poster showing members of the Cincinnati German
Pioneer club with copies available for sale. The list below comes from
a June 6, 1877 Newport Club organizational meeting and shows the charter
members. The German Pioneer Club remained in the news until about 1917
when the United States entered World War One against Germany at which
time the clubs disappear.
