Vorwort written in Sheboygan, Wis., am 1. October 1892: “Der Zweck dieses Büchleins ist kein anderer, als unsere heutige Jugend in etwa mit den damaligen Verhältnissen und mit den Freuden und Leiden des deutschen Missionsdienstes von anno dazumal bekannt zu machen und dadurch zu zeigen, wie nothwendig es war, dass der deutsche Theil der ref. Kirche das Missionswerk unter den Deutschen dieses Landes selbst in die Hand nahm.”
[From Sheboygan Press, Aug. 27, 1919:] “The Rev. Janett was born in Switzerland in 1839 and migrated to this country when he was a young man. He received his training for the ministry at a small theological seminary near Chicago, and on August 25, 1869, was ordained to the ministry, at Richland, Iowa. For one year and three months he served as a home missionary in the west, voluntarily, with no salary whatever.” Donated by Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, 2004.

From the 1894 edition preface: “This story is based upon facts taken from an old diary of one of the early settlers on Lake Winnebago. The story appeared in German from the Publishing House of Mr. G. Brumder, Milwaukee, Wis. . . . Its interest is greatly increased from the fact that it happened so near our homes, and in our own state. Older people all over the state tell sad tales of their hardships in early times. . . . [W]e very diligently set to work to translate it, and after revising it several times, and rejecting all long and superfluous words, we deem it ready to put before the public.” None of the characters in the book appear to be German immigrants.

Enninger, Werner, and Karl-Heinz Wandt. “Social Roles and Language Choice in an Old Order Amish Community.” Sociologia Internationalis, vol. 17, no. 1/2, 1979, pp. 47-70.
“Of all aspects of the overall aim, i.e. the description of the sign-based behavior of the members of one specific Old Order Amish (OOA) isolate, the present paper focuses on the functional distribution of the varieties (American English, Pennsylvania German, and Amish High German) of the verbal repertoire. The social unit under investigation was defined as the total of those persons in Kent County, Delaware, U.S.A., who in January 1978, lived in households with OOA household heads. This threefold criterion of time, region, and religious affiliation isolated a total of 1314 persons living in 164 households distributed over a rural area of about eight miles by eleven miles between Dover and the Maryland stateline. . . . Despite the sweeping criticism levelled at role theory from a Marxist angle, we hazard to assume that in the isolate under investigation role concepts provide the basis for a set of heuristic tools, by means of which the way in which the members of the isolate perceive their social world and organize their instrumental and sign-based interaction can be reconstructed. . . . In that grooming and garment-mediated roles are signaled before the opening of discourse, these nonverbal performatives . . . function as ‘stage markers’ signaling the rules concerning the choice of variety, the rules of address and personal referencing, discursive privileges and the use of ‘discourse lubricants’ that apply for the ensuing discourse.”

The money to build on a new site in Elm Grove came from the Louis Mission Society of Bavaria, with funds donated by King Ludwig. The site boasts a distinctly Bavarian-style castle like structure now known as Notre Dame Hall.

“A comprehensive examination of the ways in which nine immigrant groups—Irish, Germans, Scandinavians, Eastern European Jews, Italians, Poles, Hungarians, Chinese, and Mexicans—responded to their new lives in the United States through music. Each group’s songs disclose an abiding concern over leaving their loved ones and homeland and an anxiety about adjusting to a new society. But accompanying these disturbing feelings was an excitement about the possibilities of becoming wealthy and about looking forward to a democratic and free society.”

Uttman, Magdalena Tellenbach. “Perceiving Germanness—Changing Concepts of German Culture and History as Seen from Abroad: A Swedish and an American Perspective.” Ph.D. dissertation, University of Wales, 2003. 218 pp., ill.
“The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of perceptions of Germanness during the last hundred years, from a Swedish and an American perspective, and how time and distance affect ethnic identity, as experienced from without and within. Field research was undertaken in two places during a year: Milwaukee in Wisconsin, United States, and Sweden as a whole. These two choices were considered as good examples of different connections to Germany and Germans, and influences of Germanness, and constituted a relevant comparison. The material was collected through participant observation, interviews, archive material such as personal documents, and old newspapers. The research was explorative through empirical methods, and the data collected is of qualitative character. This thesis has brought out some interesting and important aspects of identity, and more specifically about perceiving Germanness. Perceptions have emerged in both static images, and dynamic processes of events or developments in history. The world wars caused damage to German identity, especially the First World War to Germanness in America. The Second World War, and especially the Holocaust, has had a great effect in both countries. But also less dramatic events influenced perceptions of Germanness. At the same time as perceptions have changed completely due to certain events, there have been parallel perceptions upheld by different groups in society. Many of the stereotyped ideas of Germanness have been the same during the last hundred years, and changes in perceptions have often stayed within similar categories. Certain events or processes have made it difficult to be German at times, but expressing ethnic identity also depends on social developments such as multiculturalism.”
