Dischbedutt:Magdalena Farmwald

Die Magdalena Farmwald odder die Magdalena Fordewald waar en Amischfraa ass gewuhnt hot in Strasbourg, Alsace. Sie iss zu Amerikaa kumme in 1847. Sie iss kumme mit ihrer Schweschder die Elizabeth Farmwald unn mit ihrem Buh, der Jacob Farmwald. Die Magdalena hot welle noch Amerikaa geh eb ihre Buh Military-Age waar. Sie waare uff em See fer sex Woche. Sie hot fimf Schweschder ghatt. Sie waare die Elizabeth, die Barbara, die Fannie, die Katie unn die Mary. Mir weese nix meh baut die Fannie, die Katie unn die Mary. Es iss meeglich ass sie gesettelt hot in Holmes Kaundi, Ohio, awwer mir iss net schur.

Can someone tell me where the above came from? I found this in my search for information on this ancestor of mine but would like to know the source, how it came to be on this site and when and by whom it was posted, if possible.Stormiegri 20:47, 14 Abrill 2007 (UTC)stormiegri@comcast.net

The source is "Family History of Jacob Farmwald 1837-1970" Printed June 1971. We have experimented with these pages in Pennsylvania Dutch, that is of Amish immigrants, but perhaps these pages maybe should be taken off. Almost all the info comes from this book. However, most of the info about the sisters comes from a summary of various Farmwald Family dedicated webpages, since only Elizabeth is mentioned in the book named above.
