A typical entry includes, when available, the full name, birth and death dates, and which generation of the family in America that individual represented. Oftentimes the entries will include the stage-name or the original spelling of the surname if the name had been changed in America. Each table is preceded by text which attempts to place each occupational category into an historic context. Selective profiles of representative individuals citing specific achievements in their respective fields are included as well. In the introduction, entitled \"Broadly Speaking, Just Who Were the German-Americans,\" the author examines the data from the thirteen directories in great detail. For example, there are tables dividing the immigrants into areas of origin, and tables exploring dates of immigration. The introduction also attempts to help the reader bridge the linguistic barriers created when reverting American names back to the original German. To this end he has created seven basic rules of name recognition, and has also provided a table listing the twenty-five most common German names and their American English equivalents.

It became clear that no more progress could be made without more adequate bibliographical foundations, and that's exactly what Baginsky set out to do. Based on, but not limited to, the extensive holdings of the New York Public Library, this book aims at being a comprehensive bibliography of the German publications dealing with any aspect of America which were published before 1800. This includes not only books, but articles, essays, and book reviews. Each entry is arranged chronologically according to the publication date. These listings are made highly accessible by the addition of extensive and detailed subject, author, and title indexes. A new introduction and a selective bibliography have been added by Dr. Don H. Tolzmann, one of the foremost German-American scholars today. Anyone seeking information on Germans in American history before 1800 should examine this work, not only for topics pertaining to German immigration and settlement, but any possible historical topic, including esoteric subjects, such as forestry, science and medicine.

Throughout the 1690s the young clergyman was continually called upon to encourage and comfort his parishioners as members of the community were killed or captured by Indians. On February 29, 1703, Williams himself became a victim when a French and Indian raiding party sacked Deerfield. Two of his children were murdered outside his house, but he, his wife and their five other children were kidnapped and marched - with over a hundred captured prisoners - to Montreal. His wife, as well as many others who were too weak or infirm for the arduous journey, was killed along the way. He spent two and a half years as a captive in Quebec. Williams wrote his autobiographical account of the ordeal in 176, the year he was released, and it remained for many years one of the most populart among numerous Indian captivity accounts. After his description of the march to Montreal, Williams' narative focuses on the coercive attempts of the French to proselytize the English prisoners into the Roman Catholic faith. To make this early New England classic available to readers, Heritage Books, Inc. has taken a 1908 reprit of the 1795 sixth edition of The Redeemed Captive, which contains a sermon preached by Williams at Boston only two weeks after his return. Several appendices are also included, containing such information as, the names of all the Deerfield captives and brif chronologies of Deerfield before and after the devastating raid. A new everyname index has been added. Greatly enhancing this offer of the Williams' book is its combination with the related 1905 work by George Sheldon, Heredity and Early Environment of John Williams, \"The Redeemed Captive.\" This valuable record provides biographical details of John Williams' youth, education and early adulthood as well as background information into the Puritan faith that was so much a part of Williams' and his neighbors' lives.

Written by Henry Cabot Lodge, who later served as senator from the state of Massachusetts for thirty-one years, this history is the definition of clarity and consistency. Originally conceived as a handbook to the American colonies up to their unification, this book combines both social and political history into one volume. Each colony is treated individually, with two chapters apiece; one chapter is devoted to the political history of the colony from its foundation up to 1765, the year of the meeting of the Stamp Act Congress in New York, and the other chapter deals with the lives, habits, thoughts, customs and manners of the residents of each colony during the year 1765. After all the colonies have been reviewed in this manner, the main body of the book is concluded with three concise chapters dealing with the Revolution. Following these is an appendix containing chronological tables delineating important historical events for each colony through 1765, and for the united colonies up to 1782 when peace was declared. Filled with a large array of facts and blessed with clear writing and superior organization, this history of the colonies is a true classic of American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenry Cabot Lodge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1881, 1995), 2011, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 572 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788401893\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-L0189\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":548903583760,"sku":"101-L0189","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-l0189.png?v=1727797166"},{"product_id":"101-l3151","title":"Personal and Family Names: A Popular Monograph on the Origin and History of the Nomenclature of the Present and Former Times","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"About the year 1856, my attention was specially directed to the study of personal names, and circumstances at that time led me to concentrate attention upon this field of literature.

They made up the likes of telegraph, railroad, and telescope, and assimilated German words like hex, sauerkraut, fresh, hoodlum, and kindergarten; Spanish words such as barbeque, chocolate, and tornado; French sounds like bayou, levee, depot, and chowder; and Indian words such as hickory, pecan, hominy, moccasin, and raccoon. Though they invented the likes of popcorn, sweet potato, eggplant, bullfrog, and backwoodsman, they left behind them terms no longer needed in their daily lives. Gone were the likes of moxa (Indian moss burned on an area of the body, thought to cure gout), hautboy (oboe), gruntling (young hog), muchwhat (nearly), revelrout (a ruckus), and, from most regions of the U.S., the long sounds of old England (fahst for fast, dahnce for dance, and hoff, meaning half.) In addition to terminology, such as the names of the many courts and legal processes, this collection of more than 4500 words includes many occupations, descriptions of early furniture and foods, common medical terms and herbal remedies, and many all but forgotten expressions. The words found here are seen at every turn of research; in court documents (especially inventories of estates, court entries, and lawsuits), church records, books, newspapers, letters, and songs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMr. Drake, retired lawyer and teacher, and veteran genealogist, writes with a pleasing style that is entertaining and educational.

Each volume can be searched individually, as is done with the cloth bound library editions, but the volumes on this CD are all electronic text, so the entire decade can be searched by means of a single master electronic index which makes it very easy to use. Since GPAI indexes book and CD reviews, as well as all substantive periodical articles, it is an important key to the genealogical literature that can be utilized by all genealogical and historical researchers. The citations in GPAI are of three basic types: surname, locality, and topical. Bible records, family records, and genealogies are indexed under the name of the male progenitor. The citation gives his date of birth or some other vital statistic if possible, identifies his wives, and indicates the places the family lived. Record abstracts are indexed under the appropriate geographical headings, such as state, county, town. Articles which do not fit under the foregoing headings are indexed under the appropriate topical heading such as African American (and other ethnic groups), Civil War (and other wars), computer genealogy, immigration, medical, methodology (including all kinds of how-to subjects). Quakers (and other religious groups), etc. With the new electronic search capability, all kinds of searches are now much easier. All the citations include a description of the type of record, i.e., Bible record, genealogy, book review, newspaper abstracts, city directory, obituary, military records, school records, census records, etc. The citation also identifies the periodical, volume, issue, and page number where the article begins. A directory of the periodicals indexed is provided, so the researcher can acquire copies of articles of interest.
