3.0 out of 5 stars
Limited interest to those who have Penna-German ancestry.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pennsylvania German Immigrants, 1709-1786 Lists Consolidated from Yearbooks (Hardcover)
A book for people with German ancestry interested in genealogy. Transcribed from original records in Germany. Although I love this book most others would find it of little interest. It contains the names of a few hundred 18th Century immigrants from three or four selected areas of Germany to primarily Philadelphia, Pa. I suggest you look at the index in a library first to discover if an ancestor is listed. Though there are parts of the book with general genealogical information regarding the three areas covered, most is applicable to the individual immigrants. If you, like me, have an ancestor listed, the information on the other immigrants becomes fascinating as well since it is an eye into their lives before they came to America. The nice thing is, since it's in English you don't have to learn old German to read it. Besides an index to the immigrants there's one for the ships many of them sailed on to America as well.
