We discuss what it means to be PA Dutch from the perspective of an anthropologist. Part two of the interview is covered in our next video.

I was born in PA from half PA Dutch ancestry. Ironically, since I moved to South Carolina, I've become more aware of and more interested in my PA Dutch heritage.

I love this conversation.

I think we were driving through Lancaster County when my wife imagined a culture where no one would use an operating system later than DOS 3.0.

Great stuff Doug. Very interesting. It did answer a lot of questions and it created even more questions. I'm awaiting the second part.

I'm in Greencastle, PA. I speak standard German, but know some Swabian too so 'PA Dutch' is somewhat comprehensible to me, but with difficulty for sure!
