For the benefit of the reader, each of these distinguished citizens has been categorized according to his or her contributions and placed into thirteen user-friendly directories, namely: Artistic Talents; Sporting Personalities and Brewers; Clergy; Educators, Scholars and Historians; Engineers, Inventors, Bridge-Builders and Tinkerers; Entertainment World; High Finance and Big Business; Government; Medical Sciences; World of Music; Printing and Publishing World; Natural Sciences; and, Men and Women at War. 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. The appendices include an abridged glossary of European localities, an every-name index, and three separate bibliographies. Also included is an abridged list of contemporary German-American organizations operating both here and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles R.

It was the voice of the local German socialists, centered then in the Lower East Side and in Yorkville. This Index contains approximately 27,000 abstracted obituaries, death notices, reported deaths and other biographical material. Entries include the deaths of workers—mainly ethnic Germans (but not exclusively) from the Greater New York area, associates of the German labor community, and socialist militants from the entire U.S. and the world. Local murder victims, without regard to their background; executions in the Northeast, or nationwide if a German-American was involved; and Southern lynchings, which this paper consistently condemned, are also covered. Not all local people whose deaths were recorded by the paper were members of the labor movement, some were simply people known to the neighborhood—including a few mobsters and ladies of the night! Occasionally, the \u003cem\u003eNYVZ\u003c\/em\u003e noted the deaths of militants from Europe, especially from the German and Austrian labor movement, with which the paper's editors and readers retained close ties.

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.

It addressed the concerns of immigrants in general and the value of sharing one's experiences with those left behind. German-speaking immigrants, in a predominantly English-speaking country, needed basic information and guidance. Many sought out immigrant advice books. Numerous guidebooks were published in the nineteenth century and one of the most popular was F. W. Bogen's Guidebook. It was published in America by a German-American minister and was thus considered to be a reliable source. It appeared in a bilingual edition, which assisted German immigrants in learning the English language. Germans were advised to learn and master English in order to be successful, but, at the same time, Bogen stressed that Germans should also preserve their heritage. Bogen's guidebook also distinguished itself from other guidebooks by providing sound general advice and a philosophy for success rather than hundreds of details and facts.

In this book we find a fascinating study of pioneer life, and unusual insight into the language struggle of the early Lutheran Church. After graduating from the University of Halle, Germany, in 1826, Wilhelm left his native country and family at the age of 22 to seek a new life in America. Following older siblings, he settled in Philadelphia for a brief period before moving on to Ohio. He became one of the four founders of the town of Winnesburg in Holmes County. There he helped to establish a community of German and Swiss settlers and served as their pastor. Later, while serving as a pastor to a congregation in Canton, Ohio, in 1830, he founded the first Lutheran seminary west of the Allegheny Mountains. One year later, the seminary was moved to Columbus, Ohio, where it still is today. This book is important for its unique insight into the language struggle in the Lutheran Church early on, when the majority of its parishioners spoke German in a primarily English-speaking country. During his lifetime, Wilhelm Schmidt was an influential member of the Lutheran clergy and, as founder of the seminary, he played a key role in the heated language discussions within the Ohio synod of the Lutheran church.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusanne A.

The paper [also] contained many advertisements of local merchants, and announcements of interest to the local German community. These death notices are very useful to family researchers since death certificates were not required by the state of Ohio before 1906. In addition, death notices frequently contain more information than certificates. While a certificate generally gave name, age, address, place of burial, and county of birth; a death notice often gave these as well as: the name of surviving spouse, the maiden name of the deceased or surviving spouse, the names of surviving children, and the city of birth (and sometimes a person's status of wealth or an unusual cause of death); and, in the case of a child's death: the names of both parents (including the mother's maiden name) and the names of siblings. This major compilation contains the name, date of death (if published) and date of notice, age of person, the newspaper page on which the notice was printed, maiden names for married women, and the city of birth, if mentioned. The index contains the names of over 38,000 people who died between 1874 and 1920. Both the original German spelling of a name and its English equivalent are given when available.

What makes this newspaper valuable to family history researchers is the list of German death records which were reported to the Cincinnati Health Department on a daily basis. Many of these deaths were reported due to the fact that these individuals died in a city institution. These were typically people who lived in mental institutions, orphanages, the \"poor house\" and homes for widows and the aged. These people normally could not afford to pay for a death notice to be published in a newspaper. While the death records do not contain much information about the deceased, they contain the name of the person, their age, their street address and sometimes the disease from which they died.

Hence, the term \"German\" is used in a linguistic, cultural and ethnic sense to cover the sum of German-speaking immigrants and their descendants. This study is divided into six parts. Part I, \"Immigration and Settlement\" traces German-American history from the earliest beginnings into the present time, while Parts II and III demonstrate the role German-Americans have played in \"Preserving the Union\" and \"Building the Nation.\" Part IV gives an overview of the German-American experience.

A lot of legwork was required in order to pinpoint what records were available in Germany and where they were housed, letters had to be written and fees paid, followed up by weeks of waiting for responses. Today, all of the major archives and many of the smaller ones, as well as church parishes, have websites containing contact information and information on their holdings; many have put digitized images of their records online. Correspondence can usually now be handled more quickly and less expensively via e-mail. An ever increasing number of searchable databases with information relevant to German ancestor-hunters, passenger lists, vital records, censuses, cemetery records, surname directories, etc., has greatly improved opportunities for research.

It includes a 500-name biographical directory of the outstanding German-American officers in the Civil War, as well as bibliographical references, and footnotes. The American Civil War has often been referred to as the defining moment in American history, and the purpose of this work is to illuminate the role of German-Americans in that conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1911, this work has long been considered the standard on the topic. Wilhelm Kaufmann knew, or corresponded with, many German-American Civil War veterans. His articles were first serialized in the German-American press and widely screened and reviewed by readers, many of whom, of course, were veterans of the Civil War. Based on their comments and critiques, Kaufmann polished and re-worked this history for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, he decided to bring out his work in book form. Kaufmann's history is a German-American history directly based on extensive use of primary sources, and had been widely reviewed by many of its subjects. Of special value is the biographical directory of German-Americans who fought in the war. This work is of great value for all those interested in the Civil War, and especially those interested in German-American involvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the 1990s, Don Heinrich Tolzmann organized an editorial team to get Kaufmann's work translated and edited, and it was finally published in 1999.
