My GGGGgrandfather George NEIMAN/NEUMAN/NYMAN born about 1736, probably in Germany, loved set back, sour, buckwheat pancakes. Where did he live? George NEIMAN came to the American colonies about 1768, He lived in Philadelphia County and later Conewago Township, York County, Pennsylvania. A son George lived in Cordorus Township, York County. This second George and his son Jacob and their spouses are buried in a cemetery at Ilesboro, in Hocking County, Ohio. Were set back, sour, buckwheat pancakes common to certain areas - or were they not known in Germany? They were made like rye bread. Was rye bread common in only certain states or kingdoms of Germany - in the 1700's?
