Volume 25, Number 1, March 2007

A report from the board

AGS receives income from three sources: membership dues, registration fees for seminars and the sales of

merchandise. Income from membership dues is used to cover the cost of administering the society and publishing Der Kurier.

The principal administrative expenses include the cost of printing membership brochures, postage for mailings and fees for the web site. Costs associated with publishing Der Kurier include printing and mailing, and a fee paid to the editor for each issue.

Publications are one of the principal benefits of membership in any society. The Board of Directors in cooperation with the editor of Der Kurier upgraded the quarterly in terms of form and content. Over the past two years the numbers of articles and their length have increased at no additional expense to the members.

Unfortunately expenses associated with publishing and mailing Der Kurier need to be covered which is the reason why the Board of Directors at its January 2007 meeting agreed unanimously to increase fees for membership. The cost of membership for an individual will increase from $10.00 to $15.00 per person. The price of membership for families will be raised from $12.00 to $20.00.

The membership fee of $10.00 was set in 1994 when dues were increased from $7.50. The ability to hold the dues that low for twelve years

can be attributed to the volunteer efforts of members of the Board of Directors in keeping expenses at a minimum.

The cost of membership in MAGS has been a bargain, and even with an increase in fees it will continue to be a bargain as membership dues in MAGS are less than a membership in any other society with a comparable mission.

The spring and fall seminars are the other primary source of revenue and the principal source of expenditures. Over the years the Board has gone to great lengths to keep the expenses associated with the seminars in line with income; however expenses have been rising with each meeting primarily because of charges associated with serving a light continental breakfast during registration and lunch.

As a professional lecturer, I have had opportunity to see how other societies around the country handle their seminars, and I can truthfully say attendees at MAGS seminars are indeed fortunate with the amount and type of food served, but that service comes at a price that is set by the hotel. Because of the increased expenses associated with the seminars the Board has also raised fees for the seminars. Starting with the fall 2007 seminar in Hagerstown, Maryland the cost of registration for MAGS members will be increased from $35.00 to $40.00. The late registration fee will increase to $45.00.

FRAKTUR FORUM By Corinne Earnest

Langs found in Southern fraktur

ivia Motsinger asked about LANGs on fraktur. She is especially interested in LANGs from North Carolina. Her request

gives me the opportunity to explain fraktur to readers who are unfamiliar with the subject.

Fraktur are eighteenth and nineteenth century decorated manuscripts and printed forms made by and for Pennsylvania Germans. The term Pennsylvania Germans refers to the subculture, not exclusively to Americans of German heritage who live in Pennsylvania. Although Pennsylvania Germans and their descendants scattered throughout the United States and into Canada, most initially came to America through the Port of Philadelphia, and large numbers remained in Pennsylvania. They settled in southeast Pennsylvania beginning late in the seventeenth century, and many of their descendants remain there today. As a consequence of large populations of German-speaking immigrants in southeast Pennsylvania, their fraktur tradition of decorating manuscripts is apparent in rural areas that form a broad arch around Philadelphia. It was here that the majority of Pennsylvania Germans settled and farmed prior to moving south and west — to western Maryland and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, into the Carolinas, and to Ohio. Wherever Pennsylvania Germans settled, they kept their fraktur tradition. So when Vivia Motsinger asks about fraktur from North Carolina, it may be possible to find ones related to her family, but her best bet would be finding family fraktur in southeast Pennsylvania where most fraktur were made. There were many types of fraktur, including bookplates, writing specimens, religious texts, and more. Fortunately for genealogists, most fraktur are birth and baptism certificates (Taufscheine). This is largely because an estimated ninety percent of Pennsylvania Germans were Lutheran and German Reformed — denominations that regard baptism as a

sacrament. Although earlier examples are known, the making of birth and baptism certificates to commemorate baptisms became especially popular following the Revolution. Because most birth and baptism certificates were made after 1780, finding examples for early immigrant ancestors is more difficult than finding examples made for second, third, and later generations of Americans. Eighteenth and early nineteenth century fraktur artists were often schoolmasters. Later artists and penmen (nineteenth and early twentieth century) were itinerants who traveled from farm to farm filling out and sometimes hand-decorating printed forms. Nineteenth century scriveners also penned family registers between Old and New Testaments in Bibles. Regarding Taufscheine, schoolmasters and itinerant penmen were generally careful to record the three pieces of information genealogists hope to find on every document — names, dates, and locations. As an extra benefit for genealogists, Taufscheine and Bible records often include mothers’ maiden names — a piece of information often overlooked on documents of the period. Itinerant scriveners were less consistent about recording locations in Bible records. Until late in the nineteenth century, Taufscheine were generally written in German, although south of the Mason Dixon line, English took hold faster among Pennsylvania German populations than it did in southeast Pennsylvania. Throughout the history of fraktur, artists and scriveners spelled phonetically. Thus, when Vivia Motsinger asks for LANGs on fraktur, I also check spellings such as LONG and LANGE. Researchers of any Pennsylvania German name should know that it is not uncommon to find the same name spelled two or three different ways on a single document. As a rule of thumb, when checking for names on fraktur, I throw out the vowels and work with consonants having similar sounds.

One misconception about fraktur that genealogists especially should be aware of is that Taufscheine are an American form of decorated manuscripts. Many genealogists assume Taufscheine were made in German-speaking areas of Europe, but such documents are rare in Europe. Certainly, Europeans decorated manuscripts with black lettering or colorfully illuminated pages in books and on stand-alone manuscripts. But most of these were religious texts or important official documents such as priviledges.

In fact, Europeans use the word Fraktur to refer to a decorative style of typeface and handwriting. Because that same typeface and handwriting appears on what Americans call “fraktur,” Americans corrupted the word to mean Pennsylvania German decorated manuscripts. But as a genealogist, if you travel to Germany and ask to see a fraktur, the German-speaking citizen you are addressing would probably show you an old newspaper clipping that predates World War II when the Fraktur typeface was still used. (Germany converted to more modern typefaces during the War.) The clipping may discuss any subject under the sun, but it would be printed in the Fraktur typeface, which is what the well-intentioned German-speaker believes you wanted to see. Thus, when requesting that I search for your family names on fraktur, please understand it is a rare occurrence that I can find references to your family in Europe. It does happen, however. When writing a booklet titled Langs/Longs on Fraktur, I found two references to LANGs in the Chur-Pfalz. In the case of LANGs and LONGs on fraktur, many examples are known — too many to include in a single article for Der Kurier. To narrow the search specifically to southern fraktur, I found only two fraktur-related records that mention LANGs or LONGs. Neither state a location, but both are likely from the Shenandoah Valley. The first example comes from a decorated family record book made for John and Mary (LONG) BUTTERFIELD. This book says John BUTTERFIELD was born October 28, 1759 and died April 5, 1835. He married Mary LONG on May 21, 1788 or 1789. Mary LONG was born May 10, 1767. Their children included Hannah, born May 12, 1789; Amy, born July 10, 1791, died August 11, 1810; James Sidwel, born June 10, 1793, died January 28, 1811; and Mary, born

August 27, 1795, died September 30, 1799. An added entry says Thomas BUTTERFIELD was born in 1799. According to a family correspondent, the BUTTERFIELDs lived in Winchester, Virginia, and later in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. This family is said to have been a Quaker family of British heritage, but works by this anonymous record book artist are often included in studies on fraktur. Not only are the record books decorated with watercolors in a folky and naive style similar to fraktur, but the contents of the books are related to family history — a popular subject among Pennsylvania Germans. The second example is a Bible record made for the George and Susanah (LONG) ERNEST family. This family may have lived near Staunton, Virginia, where the Bible record was found. According to this record, George ERNEST married Susanah LONG on June 21, 1830. The couple was married by Charles SHEAFFER. George ERNEST was born June 28, 1809 and baptized by Wm. HIMES (no date given). Susanah LONG was born May 13, 1812 and baptized by Pastor MYERS. The children of George and Susanah ERNEST included William H., born January 21, 1831 and Samuel T., born August 12, 1833. These two sons were baptized by Wm. HIMES (no baptism dates given). The next child was John W. ERNEST, born July 25, 1835 and baptized by Wesley HOWE. Eleaser O. ERNEST was born April 4, 1837 and baptized on August 6, 1837 by D. SHAVER. Emory M. ERNEST was born October 5, 1839 and baptized by P. McNALLY. Henry T. was born September 15, 1841 and baptized by Jos. PARKER. Emaretta K. was born September 21, 1843 and baptized by Wm. ENOS. Mary E. was born October 1, 1845 and baptized by Pastor McCOLLUM. Jacob B. was born October 8, 1847 and baptized by Pastor CORNIELUS [sic], and George E. was born July 15, 1849 and baptized by J.W. ELLIOTT. Unfortunately, little has been written about southern fraktur. The late Klaus Wust wrote Virginia Fraktur: Penmanship as Folk Art, published in 1972 by Shenandoah History in Edinburg, Virginia. That same year, the Pennsylvania German Society published a three-page article called “North Carolina Fraktur” in its quarterly publication, Der Reggeboge, but resources for learning about southern fraktur are generally scattered and few.

More should be done to survey southern fraktur so that every example possible is documented. To my knowledge, other than MAGS Charter Member, Beverly Repass Hoch, no one has thoroughly canvassed specific areas of the South to locate examples. Hoch is attempting to document every example made by the anonymous Wild Turkey Artist (active circa 1770-1822) who worked in and around Wytheville, Virginia. If you know of Wytheville examples, please contact Bev Hoch at PO Box 505, Wytheville VA 24382. Of importance, Gene Comstock of Winchester, Virginia, is currently writing a book about southern fraktur. This book will be published by the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. If you know examples that might help Comstock in his research, he would like to hear from you. Please contact Gene Comstock at 242 Merrifield Ln., Winchester VA 22602.

In addition to Hoch and Comstock, June Burk Lloyd, Librarian Emerita at the York County Heritage Trust is documenting fraktur from western Maryland (as well as York and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania). To contact Lloyd, write the York County Heritage Trust at 250 E. Market Street, York PA 17403. If you wish me to research your family names on fraktur, I do so at no charge to MAGS members. Send your request with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Corinne Earnest, PO Box 1132, Clayton DE 19938. Please be patient for a reply. If you have names you want me to research on fraktur, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Corinne Earnest, PO Box 1132, Clayton DE 19938. I apologize for any delay caused by our move, but please be sure I have your requests on file and will respond to them as quickly as possible.
