This unusual compilation laid in typescript in the library of the  Germantown Historical Society since 1935, until it was published by the  Genealogical Publishing Company in 1980. It abounds with the kind of curious and  out-of-the-way information likely to be helpful to those wishing to augment  their knowledge of their German ancestry.
Arranged by newspaper and thereunder by date of publication, this  work contains abstracts of paid notices, advertisements, and articles from the  five principal German newspapers published in Germantown and Philadelphia during  the second half of the 18th century. Pertaining to several thousand German  settlers in Pennsylvania during the period 1743 to 1800, the data derives  variously from death notices, advertisements for runaway servants, offers of  property for sale and lease, offers of goods and services, notices of arrival  and removal in the Pennsylvania area, advertisements of letters received and  awaiting delivery, and notices placed by persons seeking news of relatives and  friends. The latter sometimes designate place of residence in America and  birthplace in Germany.
