Very well, Mariner, I'll bite. My ancestors came to the US of A between the years of 1874-80. All of 'em practically in one bunch. There is a Polish name among the Dutch, and North German names and that name is Sawatsky. All these folks were bi-lingual when they entered the US, but English was not the second language; German was. Their primary language was Low-Saxon, also referred to as Low-German. And there are still places in Canada and Mexico where Low-Saxon is still spoken by folks who might be distantly related to me.
