    3. I did as I suggested you try, earlier, and went to one of the online translator sites.....apparently it is misspelled...should be 'der schwedischen Schulze' ...it means "the Swedish Schulze"....you're on your own on the meaning of the word Schulze......lol If you sent your request to me, as a lookup, you'll need to go back to the instructions I've placed on the Chester Site, on how to place a query....I've tried to make them very clear, but if you have any difficulty, let me know. Sandra In my ancestor's obituary it states he was involved in "der schwadischen Schalze" in Chester County. What was that event? The obituary is from the September 29th 1847 edition of the German language newspaper “The Bauren Freund" published at Pennsburg: "Died: On Wednesday the fifteenth day of September, in the morning at four o’clock Mr Jacob Klein, of Milford, Bucks County, at the age of 93 years and six months. He was the oldest inhabitant of this neighborhood, loved and respected by all who knew the kindly old gentleman. In the years 1776 and 1777, he served his country in the Revolutionary War and was in the battles of those times including Princeton, Germantown and “der schwadischen Schalze” in Chester County. Deceased was survived by twelve adult children, 8 sons and 4 daughters, 93 grandchildren and 103 great grandchildren, a total of 208 descendants. On the following Saturday his remains were interred in the Lutheran Cemetary of the Six Cornered Church, in the presence of a large assembly of persons, at which Rev. F Waage, preached the funeral sermon on the text of Genesis, Chapter 32 verse 10.
