Description

The introduction to this excellent book gives an overview of the language (Pennsylvania German, Dutch or Deitsch) developed by the settlers brought to Pennsylvania from the Rhine Valley by William Penn….This book is a should for the researcher, especially the novice whose ancestral lines result in this area where a language barrier can surely be discouraging or in some instances even terminates the search. -The Genealogical Helper”The dialect used by the German settlers of Pennsylvania requires special study whether it is to be understood. On this volume Mr. Haag has provided a learning aid which is both a reader and a grammar.” -The Virginia Genealogist”The outstanding book comprises twenty-three excellent reading selections in vigorous dialect by Haag on subjects such as school, house, farm, town, in addition to dates, weather, body parts, and clothing–every with translation at the opposite page–a practical, invaluable feature.” -Journal of the Pennsylvania German Society
