    Re: german songs

    Christof, you should state that we are already aware of the songs of the Theatergesellschaft and all the other songs we have collected, I mean if you search for more you should state which songs we already have as your question about German songs was already asked here by me a while back.
    I think we mainly search for everyday songs. Christmas and Church songs still sung today were of course alrady in wide use. But we search for songs with provenance in letters etc.
    Thank you!

        Hi Jan,

        Well, at least you know that we paid attention to the things that you (and others) told us.

        Die herzlichsten Wünsche für ein frohes Weinachtfest und ein glückliches Neues Jahr.

        (Feel free to correct my German. I'm still learning.)

              Hallo Jan,
              what you wrote in your post is correct, but remember I wrote in my first post, that I am looking for Information from out of letters or memorys. I think the Problem is, that Letters or Memorys in German are worthless for the most of the Amerikans, because ththey cannt read them. I have a problem with the Sütterlin typographig too. I think there could be many interresting thinks be written in the letters, but the Amerikan own them, but could not read, and we could read, but we dont own them. So to our american friends, who own such a memorablia, is it possible to copy, and to mail it to us? I have some neighbours who can read it(Sütterlin). I will translate them to english and send back, so that everyone can use the Information.

                  :)Danke John!
                  So if anybody might be in possesion of original letters written in German, copies of them would be really a neat thing! The translations would follow;)

                    Re: german songs

                    My turnverein has in their archives many papers pertaining to the 20th NY Turner Regt. I am in the process going through these papers and transcribing many of them. A great deal of them are in German. Unfortunately, the sorting and reading of these documents has become a long process since I started teaching this year, and don't have much time for independent research. When I get more time and if I come across something I can't handle reading/translating I will let our kameraden im deutschland know.

                    Prosit,

                    Matt
