My Uncle John GRADWOHL was visiting in Ohio this week(from Nebraska), so I have been "picking his brain". He recalled his Father (my Grandfather) Elmer Adam GRADWOHL speaking of when his Grandmother KEIM (Catherine WARNER 1856-1933) would visit in Easton (she lived in Bethlehem); they had trouble communicating. Elmer did not speak much German, and Grandmother KEIM did not speak much English. I believe the implication here is that the generation, Owen Milton KEIM (1848-1914) & Catherine, spoke German at home. But in the next generation Lillie Daisy KEIM (1875-1948) m. Herbert Elmer GRADWOHL (1876-1958), they spoke English at home. By the time I was growing up in the '60s, only a few words & phrases of German were used, and those are more of the Penn-Deustch type; e.g. "Ve grow to soon oldt, and to late schmart"; dunderkoff, schotze, etc. Has anyone else found this in their line?
