The Pa. Dutch were German, the Dutch coming from the word Deustch. That spelling may be wrong but the info is correct. There is a website that explains it much better than I could but I can't find the link. Hubby played around with the computer and I have lost some of my bookmarked sites. GRRRRR!!!!! Luv him anyway. :) Bev >> Hi Bev, Sure hope you can find that web site. Sure would like to read what it has to say.
