Pennsylvania GermanGenealogy Collection #2This set of publications is an excellent source of information on German immigration into the United States and particularly into Pennsylvania. They contain numerous details of historical, biographical and genealogical interest. These publications have long been out of print and are quite scarce, yet they have been converted into a format that is easy to use and inexpensive - making this a handy collection for research.1) An Account of the Manners of the German Inhabitants of PennsylvaniaBenjamin Rush & I. Daniel Rupp, 1789, 1875, 71 pagesThis work was originally written in 1789 by Benjamin Rush, and later republished with added notes by I. Daniel Rupp. It describes the ways of the German immigrants that had flooded into America, and particularly Pennsylvania throughout the 1700's.2) A Collection of Upwards of 30,000 Names of German, Swiss, Dutch,French and other Immigrants to Pennsylvania From 1727 to 1776, 2nd EditionI. Daniel Rupp, 1880, 522 pagesThis publication consists mostly of an extensive compilation of ship lists for European immigrants who ultimately settled in Pennsylvania. The information includes the ship name, captain, port of departure, and passenger lists for hundreds of ships which sailed from 1727 to 1776. The appendicies at the end of the book offer additional information: The Names of the first settlers of Germantown from 1683-1710, Names of early settlers of Berks, Lebanon, Montgomery & Philadelphia Counties, Swiss & German settlers in Lancaster County from 1709-1730, Names of those who accompanied Rev. Joshua Kocherthal to NY, Names of the heads of families who remained in NY, Names of the 1st Palatinates in North Carolina 1709, 1710, Names of Germans who settled in Georgia 1734-1741, etc.This 2nd edition is a revised and improved work, adding much additional information, and giving the previous information a better arrangement. The information is related both in German and in English. This is a wonderful collection of information for historical or genealogical research in Pennsylvania, especially since these records would be the first mention of these individuals in America.3) Pennsylvania Genealogies, Chiefly Scotch-Irish and GermanWilliam Henry Egle, 1886, 1896, (2nd Edition), 806 pagesThis is an extensive chronicle of some of the Scotch-Irish and German families who settled in central PA. Much of the information deals with the counties of Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, Cumberland, and York, but there are extensive references to other counties since the descendants of the original settlers spread out as time progressed. This information was compiled by one of Pennsylvania's principal genealogists, and this publication is the 2nd edition of this popular work. The information within was slightly expanded and corrected so that this is a more authoritative edition that the first edition published in 1886. This is a great reference work for genealogical research in central Pennsylvania.Families listed in Table of Contents:Ainsworth, Allen of Hanover, Alricks, Anderson of Donegal, Andrews, Awl of Paxtang, Ayres, Barnett, Beatty, Boas, Bomberger, Boyd, Bucher, Cowden of Paxtang, Craig, Crain of Hanover, Curtin, Denny, Dixon of Dixon's Ford, Egle, Elder of Paxtang, Espy of Derry, Furguson of Hanover, Fleming, Forster, Fulton of Paxtang, Galbraith of Donegal, Gregg, Greenawalt of Lebanon, Hamilton, Hays, Hoge, Keller of Lancaster, Kendig of Swatara, Kunkel, Linn of Lurgan, Lyon of Juniata, Maclay of Lurgan, McCormick, McNair of Derry, McNair of Hanover, Muller of Lobinger, Murray of Harris' Ferry, Murray of Swatara, Neville, Orth of Lebanon, Parker, Roan of Derry, Robinson, Rutherford of Paxtang, Simonton, Stewart of Drumore, Swan, Thomas of Heidelberg, Wallace of Hanover, Weir, Wiestling, Wiggins, Wilson, Wyeth.

The author has especially tried to be impartial, avoiding as far as possible mere rhetoric, and allowing the facts to speak for themselves. As a book of this kind can have no real value unless it is reliable, authorities have been freely quoted, even at the risk of making the number of foot-notes larger than is perhaps suited to the taste of the general public."This publication covers information pertaining to the German immigration to Pennsylvania and the contribution of these German immigrants to the development of the regions they settled. The appendix contains a list of the German and Swiss surnames and their meaning.5) The German Pioneers in PennsylvaniaGeorge W. Richards, 1905, 31 pagesAn essay read before the Cliosophic Society of Lancaster, PA and the Reformed Ministerial Association of Philadelphia. This is a brief discussion of the German settlers of Pennsylvania and their part in the later development of the State and country.6) Historic Background and Annals of the Swiss andGerman Pioneer Settlers of Southeastern PennsylvaniaH. Frank Eshleman, 1917, 389 pgs."An authentic history, from original sources, of their suffering during several centuries before and especially during the two centuries following the Protestant Reformation, and of their slow migration, moved by those causes, during the last mentioned two hundred years, westward in quest of religious freedom and their happy relief in the Susquehanna and Schuylkill Valleys in the New World; with particular reference to the German-Swiss Mennonites or Anabaptists, the Amish and other non-resistant sects." The information is laid out in a timeline starting in the 11th century continuing until the late 18th century. There are many details related as to the obstacles and sufferings of religious denominations whose followers eventually settled in southeastern Pennsylvania. Most of the information is historical in nature but it is also useful for genealogical research, as many individuals are named throughout.Surnames Indexed: (with at least 4 occurrances)Abercrombie, Adams, Aebersold, Aeschbacher, Aeschlimann, Albert, Albright, Allen, Amman, Andrews, Anken, Appel, Arndt, Arnold, Arnot, Atkinson, Bachman, Baer, Baker, Barell, Bassler, Bauman, Baumgardner, Bausmans, Bender, Beck, Becker, Berger, Bernharts, Beyer, Binkley, Blaser, Bowman, Brackbill, Brancht, Brand, Brechbuhl, Brobst, Brons, Brown, Bucher, Buckwalter, Buhler, Bundely, Burger, Burkard, Burkey, Burkhalter, Burkhart, Burkholder, Bumgardner, Carpenter, Carter, Cartlidge, Christ, Christians, Coatman, Coningham, Conrads, Creamer, Davis, Denck, Detwiller, Difinderfer, Eberhart, Ebersole, Eby, Eckert, Egli, Engle, Erisman, Eshleman, Everling, Fahrm, Ferree, Fink, Fisher, Forry, Fox, Franciscus, Frank, Frantz, Fredericks, Frey, Funk, Garber, Gardner, Gaumann, Gerfer, Gerhart, Gochnauer, Good, Gordon, Graff, Graeff, Graybill, Groff, Gut, Haldeman, Haller, Hare, Hartman, Hellar, Hendrick, Hendricks, Hensel, Herr, Herman, Hermans, Hershey, Hess, Hiestand, Hoffer, Hoffman, Hollinger, Huber, Hupmeier, Immel, Jones, Kauffman, Kautz, Keith, Kellar, Keller, Kendig, Kieffer, King, Klein, Kline, Kolb, Krahenbuhl, Kramer, Krebs, Kreider, Kuenzi, Kuhn, Kuhns, Kurtz, Landis, Leaman, Lefever, Lehman, Lehmann, Leonard, Lesher, Lintner, Logan, Long, Longnecker, Ludwig, Luther, Luthi, Lutz, Martin, Manz, Mason, Meier, Meyer, Metzgar, Miller, Mitchell, Mittelberger, Moor, Moore, Morris, Moser, Mosser, Moyer, Muir, Muller, Musser, Musgraves, Mussleman, Myers, Mylin, Neff, Neuenchwender, Newcomer, Newhauser, Newswanger, Oberholtzers, Oberly, Pastorius, Penn, Pennypacker, Percy, Peters, Phillips, Preneman, Pupather, Ream, Reed, Reher, Reinharts, Reist, Richen, Ritter, Rohrer, Roth, Runckel, Rupp, Russel, Saphorin, Sattler, Sauder, Schaeffer, Scheider, Schenk, Schilt, Schmidt, Schmied, Schnebeli, Schneider, Schurch, Schwartz, Shaeffer, Shaffer, Shank, Shultz, Shuemaker, Shumaker, Simon, Smith, Snavely, Snyder, Spurrier, Stauffer, Stedman, Stehli, Stein, Steiner, Steinman, Steinmetz, Stettler, Stone, Stoner, Straub, Swartz, Taylor, Telner, Thomas, Thouen, Trussel, Wagner, Walters, Weaver, Weidman, Weher, Wenger, Wilson, Wise, Wissler, Witmer, Wolf, Wright, Young, Zahler, Zaug, Zellers, Ziegler, Zimmerman, Zugg, ZwinglePDF file on CDThis auction is not for the actual books listed.
