Also on this ship were Bernard's sister Doroethea and her children. Due to an error in the list they are show with the last name Solegmann. Listed are Dorethea, female, son Fried Solegmann, male, age 16, son Laurent Solegmann, male, age 13, and son Philip Solegmann, male, age 10.

Bernhard GOETZMANN was in early life a great reader. He was apprenticed to learn the saddle and harness trade and worked in that business. He was also a great traveler and visited nearly all the great cities of trade in the old world. While on one of these trips while in Russia, or in Rome, his uncle, acting for him, drew for him a term of 7 years service in the army. Being informed of the fact, Bernhard hurried home and served 5 years at the end of which time he was granted a temporary furlough to be married. After marriage he farmed as they farm in that country and in his residence had a saddle and harness shop. In 1839 he came to America, with 2 brothers and a sister, and settled on Salt Creek, near the Muskingum river, Muskingum County, Ohio. He acquired a farm of about 100 acres of prairie land. In about 1845/46 he and several of his neighbors became convinced that co-operation was the best plan for farming and united with Dr. Giddings scheme of association and co-operation of which much has been said. Everyone conveyed their lands to someone in trust for the organization only to find it all vanish and they must begin life again with a large family and no property. In 1853 he had saved enough money to come to Iowa and he and his son Henry purchased a farm together north of Boone, Boone County, Iowa. Bernhard GOETZMANN in early life became a member of the Lutheran church.

DIALECT AND LANGUAGES FROM ALSACE

ALATIAN


One of the last regional languages still in use

The dialect is used throughout the whole of Alsace as well is in part of the Moselle area.It is one of the most widely spoken regional languages in France. It is also a key aspect of the region's identity, being the result of Alsace's turbulent history. Unlike several decades ago, today you won't find any Alsatian under the age of 60 unable to speak French, as the French language became compulsory at school after the liberation.Unfortunately, the transmission of the Alsatian language from one generation to another is in constant decline, particularly in urban areas.

A dialect which is clearly distinct from German

Although originally derived from Alemannic, the Alsatian dialect is clearly distinct from German.Firstly because this is above all a spoken language.Secondly, because Alsatian has not evolved in the same manner as German, having absorbed a number of words from the French language.Although spoken in a relatively limited area, the Alsatian dialect varies from place to place.

"French can not, do not want Prussian, Alsatian am"

Between 1918 and 1920, the French undertook massive purges of Alsatian and Lorrainer society and reimposed the French language in schools on a generation educated entirely in German. The infamous "commissions de triage" set up by the French state to cleanse border province society are now erase from collective memory...

A similar transfer occurred during the World War II conflict (1939-45) at the end of which the region was again ceded to France. Still today, however, two German language newspapers are published here. There is even still spoken here and there a German dialect Alsacien (Elsässisch), but it is vanishing after German dialect has been forbidden at scholl for decades.

1968 : half of the daily newspaper sold (DNA and L'Alsace) are still published in German

1991 : opening of the First bilingual Kindergarten (13 hours French/13 hours of German) in Alsace!

2005 : 10% of the Alsatian Children are in a bilingual kindergarten

Alsatian
The Frenchman, although not even mentioned in Strasbourg, language remains a perennial outside the regional capital. Dialect employing a mixture of french vocabulary and German, Alsatian is not so obvious to understand, especially since every village has a particular variant!

ALSATIAN COSTUMS

Seebach near Wissembourg

A traditional symbol of the region, the famous Alsatian headdress was abandoned after 1945. Today, this can only be admired during certain cultural and tourist events.
Varying widely from one part of Alsace to another, the traditional costumes reflected the social standing and faith of their wearers. Consequently, Protestant women in the North would wear the colours of their choosing, where as Catholics from Kochersberg (to the north-west of Strasbourg) wore only ruby red. Some women would decorate the hems of their skirts with velvet ribbons. Others, particularly in the south, would wear printed cotton clothing, often made of silk for special occasions with paisley patterned designs. The aprons, worn everywhere throughout Alsace, were plain white. However, on Sundays it was not uncommon to see silk or satin aprons decorated with embroidery, and worn over skirts or dresses. Headdresses were extremely diverse, with an increasing trend towards the use of ribbons from 1840 onwards.

Always black for Protestants, the headdresses were often colourful and decorated with patterns for the Catholics. These features may come as a surprise, as illustrators often portrayed an inaccurate image of traditional Alsatian costumes. When Alsace once again became part of France, the "illustrator's costume" was adopted by the whole region, replacing the vast variety of traditional clothing which once existed.

The Alsatian costume is very diverse as parts and can change from one village to another.

The pieces of costumes passed on from generation to generation.
They were manufactured to last a lifetime.

OLD ALSATIAN TRADITION

CONSCRITS

Before going to the army, the youth of the village celebrated the "conscription".They wore the white costume of conscript which could vary from one village to another. Some wore an apron, often embroidered by the boy himself, others, hats richly trimmed with feathers, fruit and ribbons

Conscripts

"Hoï ! Hoï ! Hoï !" "Hoï! Hoï! Hoï!" That was the cry, more or less conscripts in the streets, the ribbons hat on his head, a bottle of white wine in his hand. "Hoï!", Screamed as a "morituri te salutant", shouted later, as if to say: "Still a little time and you will see me no more ... Still a little time and I will no longer be the same."

Sale history that the invention of conscription, in the Revolution. Young people, age sacrifice himself to the State, should turn the wheel of fortune. The fate blind asked them to draw a number in the lottery of the future. Will be drafted or not? No prevarication: 604 loses and, 908 wins and rest. Alea jacta est . Life defined by the accident.

This macabre lottery gave, for ever and ever, freedom for all conscripts to engage in any excesses on the day of Kermes, May 1, and before the board of review.

"Hoï ! Hoï ! Hoï !" "Hoï! Hoï! Hoï!" It was their rallying cry, sesame to lust.

WINE from ALSACE

Alsatian wines are often best drunk fairly young, and they do not always travel well. About 95 % of Alsatian wines are whites, "big whites," that is to say they stand up well to meat, sausage and game dishes as well as strongly seasoned fish and poultry.



Of the better known wines of Alsace—Tokay, Sylvaner, Riesling, Chasselas, Pinot Blanc, Edelzwicker, Gewurtztraminer—none is more argued about than Gewurztraminer. Some wags say that it’s not ordered much in the U.S. because it is so hard to pronounce (Geh-Vuhrtz-TRAH-MEEN- ah), but the problem may be because it tends to be rather too grapey-sweetish when it is exported. Wine authority Alexis Lichine refers to it as "A delicious fruity wine when good, it is an excellent accompaniment to strong-tasting spicy dishes...including meat and local cheeses." I tried several glasses of locally produced Gewurtztraminer, and found it to be good.



There are three Appellations d’Origine Contrôlées in the region (AOCs, i.e. a certification that the product is made in a certain region and meets strict production criteria) — AOC Alsace, AOC Alsace Grand Cru and AOC Crémant d’Alsace (‘crémant’ being a sparkling wine). The wines of Alsace are ideal when enjoyed with food, as they complement perfectly a wide variety of dishes. However, Alsace wines can also be enjoyed for themselves, as an aperitif for instance, and the remarkable range of flavours as well as the bouquet that they have to offer will come as a pleasant surprise to consumers who may — for some of them at any rate — be used to blander and mass-produced types of white wine

Haguenau, Lower Alsace

While its geographical situation, the city has always played the role of a hub, this was not always to his advantage; its forest, a veritable fortress plant impassable to any military significance, has intensified interest statégique of city, in the eyes of the invaders as those of defenders. If Haguenau was disputed during the wars, it was equipped as a lock or logistics base in peacetime, and its surroundings free of major industries in accordance with the policies of glaze. Throughout history, Haguenau has always found the hostile confines of a kingdom, an empire or a republic. Of these alternations, the city inherited many garrisons, participating in its specialization in trade, commerce and services. So with the end of the Cold War the number of garrisons have melted, the industry continues to grow, to catch up.

Housed in a building of neo-Renaissance style. Important archeological collections including the furnishings from more than 750 Bronze and Iron Age tombs from Haguenau forest. Bronze objects of the Roman period. History of the town through its aldermen's Charters, official seals, coins, goblets, etc… from the 12th to the 19th c. Also displays a collection of Jewish art.
