Thanks for catching that, Wilfried. For some reason, my OCR consistently read "hewer" for "liewer" (but did OK on "Liewer"); and it read "soil" for "soll." I made many corrections, but I see I neglected a few of them. the original text was correct - it was my error.

You said above that Americans used the term "Dutch" interchangably for Hollanders or Germans. That's true, but "Pennsylvania Dutch" are always German (not that all Americans understand that the "dutch" in Pennsylvania are German).
