They are in fact of Prussian Dutch, Czech, Polish and French origins; so far. <br /><br />I m still digging. It gets more confusing the further back I go.<br />My impression now is that the common habit of people identifying their ethnicity with a "modern" European country is just plain false. I myself identify my ethnicity as 'Euro'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974069331194878127.post-34958934558029120482009-11-11T12:00:23.755-06:002009-11-11T12:00:23.755-06:00I love the title, as as for someone that lives in ...I love the title, as as for someone that lives in PA Dutch country, it brought a smile to my face when I saw it. <br /><br />BTW my grandmother spoke dutch when I was a child, and my cousin actually teaches PA Dutch classes.<br /><br />Take it easy!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403134643992994030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974069331194878127.post-6178420826011326612009-07-13T13:25:48.928-05:002009-07-13T13:25:48.928-05:00A hippie vampire is a very funny image!
My parent...A hippie vampire is a very funny image!<br /><br />My parents used to use the term "Pennsylvania Dutch" to refer to the jibberish my younger brother used to speak when he was a toddler. Now I understand a little better why they said that. A lot of the English language is derived from German and his jibberish probably sounded like German. Thanks for explaining your blog title. :-)<br /><br />Have a great day! Tina :-)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631219536084490304noreply@blogger.com
