Michelle, I have Latin, German and French documents translations done on the Yahoo Groups site. The wonderful volunteers that translate for us are so generous with their time. I have been working on my French and German relatives for 3 years now, and I would never have all the knowledge of their lives if it weren't for these wonderful volunteers.

I had thought Bas Rhin was Alsace and Haute Rhin was Lorraine, but after reading messages to this group that doesn't appear to be so. Where can I find a map to confirm that my Alsatian villages are in Bas Rhin? Goersdorf, Preusdorf, Lembach and a few other.

Be careful that "Dutch" does not mean "German". The Dutch are coming from Holland, a country also called The Netherlands, and those people are not German ! Now it's true that the city of New York was first named New Amsterdam, whenit was founded by Dutch immigrants, Amsterdam being a Dutch city. But it's because there were a lot of immigrants coming from Germany (not from The Netherlands) that the German language could have become the language of the United States instead of English when the new independent states along the Atlantic Coast voted to select the official language of their country.

I am not aware the founders voted to select an official language of the USA or had any questions about it. The 13 were English colonies, they ruled by English law and under English law; for many years they considered themselves loyal Englishmen, they tried to get the rights they felt they were due as English subjects of the Crown, rights that were guaranteed to English subjects in Britain; it was only when nothing worked and they were denied those rights, that they felt forced to declare their independence. But there was never any doubt, to them, that they were English.

Not to take away from the Dutch settlers [I am descended from some of them], but they had a small colony in New Amsterdam. The vast majority of the colonies were English.

Hello Susan, Do you are sure that Joseph SCHUMACHER was a Swiss Guard in Rome (Italia) and not in France? Regiments of Swiss Guards existed in France between 1573 and 1830, with a stop between 1792 and 1814: "Gardes Suisses", "Cent Suisses" and "Garde Royale Suisse".

It's not a big deal but I'm struck by the suggestion that German was specified given the overwhelming English --- and then French --- influence/heritage in the colonies in the 1770's. My understanding was that the first published notice of the Declaration of Independence appeared in a German-language newspaper due to happenstance and not planning. I'm not suggesting that there were not German settlers, but only that their presence & influence was very limited. "My point is that we have always taken into account the languages..." And, unfortunately, one of the ways in which we (the United States) have taken languages into account is to suppress them. Japanese language newspapers were put out business in the 1940's and the 'Indian schools' of the the latter half of the 1800's forbade the teaching/learning of Native American languages.
