928 pages original lists, with signatures and marks Since its publication in 1934 almost two generations ago Strassburger and Hinke's Pennsylvania German Pioneers has been the cornerstone, virtually the bible, of all Pennsylvania German genealogical research. Its three volumes contain the verbatim passenger lists, including the original signatures, of virtually all of the 30,000 heads of German-speaking families who arrived in the port of Philadelphia during the fifty years prior to the American Revolution. The total of 65,000 passengers covered in these lists represent roughly two-thirds of all German-speaking immigrants who arrived in American during the almost one hundred years 1683-1775! Owning a set of Pennsylvania German Pioneers is absolutely essential to any research on German-speaking immigrants prior to the American Revolution! This is the first complete reprint of Pennsylvania German Pioneers. Also, our reprint includes a new Introduction by Lewis Bunker Rohrbach, CG; corrections of the few lists incorrectly identified; and reference to the two lists not found in 1934. If you purchased the incomplete 2 volume reprint done in 1966 and reprinted in 1980, you will want to purchase the missing middle volume (Volume II) to complete your set. Similarly, libraries whose sets are incomplete for any reason can purchase the missing volumes separately.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...It is a model in method, in the accomplishment of its aim, in setting a standardfor future works of this kind." -- The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography 1935 "...Libraries will want the full set and individuals will want, at the least, the new Volume 2 containing the signatures." -- The Detroit Society for Genealogical Research Magazine "Strassburger and Hinke are an essential source for German immigration researchers and Picton Press presents it in the durable format such a resource deserves." --Der Kurier, publication of the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society

Professional Researcher

This set made a long time genealogist very happy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2007

Verified Purchase

This set of books was purchased as a gift for Mom, who is 93, sharp as a tack, and has devoted a good deal of her life to genealogy; she has published a few books and she shows up on Amazon and in research sections of a few libraries... She loved this set and has not stopped referring to them since receiving them as a gift. She said they were excellent and I trust her judgement.
