Turn down the music, it shouldn't compete with what you have to say. If i want to hear music i will watch a music channel.
In southwest Virginia the Dunkers are called Dunkards or German Baptists. They dress much the same as Mennonites or Amish.
I had never heard of the Shwenkfelders until I began my family tree. My mother’s maiden name is Wagner so far I’ve found Yeakels Supplees and of course many Wagners.
I wonder when the wagon was painted and if that paint was made from indigo dye. That color is very odd but if that was all that they had, and it preserved it, then the color is the most beautiful in the world. Delighted to see that the history of the early Pioneers is being preserved for future generations. They were a different breed of people back then. Very strong willed and determined.
No music in class!!!!! Stop that background wracket!
Some assembly required.Batteries not included. :p
My Father's ancestor, Johannes Freidrick Zenger, arrived on the Lydia to Phillidelphia via Copenhagen in 1726. He was Granted Land in Derry Township, PA.

It's always very interesting to learn and examine the different stages of history, especially here in the US. The size of those wheels were essential to crossing the thousands of miles from the east to the west. It's the same reason that off-roading vehicles now generally have much bigger tires that can traverse rocks, streambeds and all manner of uneven terrain.
So important the past is preserved. It's recently become very stylish among some to destroy or re-write history to suit their current day political agenda. We need to defend against that.
Interessant omdat ze moeten vluchten uit een deel Duitsland,nu Polen

Excellent summary and sharing of the Shwenkfelders.
I am a descendant of the family but I don’t know if I am a lineal descendant. I am the grandson of Clarence Wells who married Grace (Shoop) Wells. The first Wells in the lineage is William Henry Wells who married Louisa Suplee. My name is Stephen Wayne Wells
I like your wagon. :P
Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing the journey of transporting and preserving a part of history. Totally want to visit the exhibition.
Im looking for the first by Germans built Conestoga wagons.
Good video, i recently found out about this church and it is so cool
Please upload the corpus and make it online available. 🙏
Amazing to find one that old in such good condition.
vielen Dank
Nicht zu danken.😁
Just found out in my genealogy that I come from the original Schwenkfelder immigrants, so it's nice learning more about my people.
Very good.
So do we get to know the rest of the story? Is the barn to be reassembled? Sold off bit by bit to the highest bidder? What fate awaits the 18th century disassembled barn?
Thanks for this video!
That's my grandma and her name is *Marlene
Thank you so much! It's updated.
Great video. I’m a non-denominational Christian here in FL but it pleases me greatly to see your community having held to and celebrated its proud heritage.
Yes, that was my mistake. But what did you mean with "it's an allemannic dialect"? PA German isn't Alemannic, it's Palatine, which is a Franconian dialect. I myself speak Palatine and it's easy to recognize, if you leave aside the English parts.
It's not Alemannic. Alemannic is not Franconian. Franconian is not Low German, it's High German. The Pennsylvanian German language is mainly derived from Palatine dialects, which are Rhine Franconian (also High German, but definetly not Standard German).
I can understand each word they speak
I love Germanic Languages man!! Good thing they are still using the language!!!!
Dess iss eppes. Ya gewiss. Ich bin froh, oss du dess uff g'lawda huschd.
Their Germanic dialect is the equivalent of Acadian French in Canada, which has also been heavily influenced by N.American English since its isolation from the European versions of French & German. I can understand both Accadian & Penn."Dutch" relatively well when written, but both are almost incomprehensible to me when spoken, seeing as I speak standard European versions of both languages. In the Amish school massacre in 2006, 1 girl escaped cuz she only spoke PennDutch. Nice to see it alive!
If you see it written (such as their Bible), you'll readily understand a good percentage of it (maybe 50%+), as much as an Italian reading Spanish or Latin.
Exactly right. Penn. "Dutch" is related to Schwabisch, Swiss German, Alsassisch, etc. It's an Alemannic dialect !
@sosiopat yes, you are probably right. it doesnt really sound like standard german. But down here at the lake constance (south germany) we have a very strong accent called "swabian" and this sounds quite simmilar to this...
@saerdna25 I can understand a lot of words just from being Norwegian and knowing English and some very basic German. They're all Germanic languages after all. It's not a matter of the vocabulary and what is understandable to a German. It's a matter of the melody and pronunciation, which is very eccentric, and sounds like a strange mixture of things, of which German is certainly one ingredient. So sure, "at all" was an exaggeration on my part.
@anoukhorstink "german" = "deutsch" in german...thats probably why... so it's not dutch at all!
@sosiopat well, i'm german and of course it sounds german! i cn understand almost everything!
Greetings from Austria
They are using som english words?
loads.
@anoukhorstink First of all, I don't think it sounds German. At all. Even though it's spoken by descendants of German emigrants to Pennsylvania. As for "Dutch", according to Wikipedia: The term "Dutch", a folk-rendering of "deutsch" or "deitsch" (meaning "German") ..
why is it called dutch when it sounds like German?
@TheBigC05 dass du aus der pfalz kommst hab ich nicht gecheckt :D wohl zu blöd zum lesen. natürlich stammt das pfälzische nicht vom österreichischen ab. dachte du wärst auch aus pa, ist schön verblüffend die ähnlichkeit und auch, dass ich hier so viel verstanden habe. hingegen wenn jemand mit mir pfälzisch spricht verstehe ich garnichts
I am frome middle germany and i understand a lot of this german dialekt.Last year i was in Lancester County and i ll see a lot of german spoken people (with dialekt). Here in germay is this dialekt and this tradion from armish people died. But it was a nice surprice for me to see, that this group has hold this old tradion.
söhne von mudderschproochers alle eyn ein plaas! aufsteig verboten!
@TheBigC05 i am not from pa, but i am from austria- the roots of your language :D ich komm net funn PA aba ich komm funn esterreich- de wurzeln eira sprooch
I think these people must be "Fancy Dutch" decendants, it is interesting how it is closer to modern Netherlands (Zeelander dialect) than a lot of the Plautdeuts speakers I am familiar with from Anababtists in USA & Mexico.
@Shashkoila This dialect originated in Palatinate, which is in SW Germany. However, these people have been away from there for several hundred years, and much has changed in those years. I was raised in an Amish home, and PA Deitsch is my first language. But there is quite a bit of this piece I don't understand, because these people are reading the stories, and that is hard to do. Also, they are from PA and I am from Indiana - there is quite a difference between the 2 areas in language.
Omg this is so hard to understand. And sometimes this guys are talking so fast I can't not even think about the words. :/ But I think it's wonderful to do something like that. Even if nobody knows that dialect in the german speaking countries in europe. :(
