My non-Manx heritage includes names like Deibert and Klemann. Prost!
Both sets of our grandchildren have German heritage.

Our daughter's husband's roots were from Baden Baden, Germany.
They came to America in the early 1800's.

Our son's wife's roots were from Bavaria, Germany......they came very very early in the 1700's to America.

Our niece's husband's roots are from Osnabruck Hanover Germany; they didn't come over until the early 1800's to America.

My sister in law's children have German roots on their dad's side; his family came from Wurttenberg Germany.

Actually, I have a huge database of Germans in our family tree.......not my blood relatives but ones who married into the family.........including many "youth" who died on D Day (Germans) strangely enough.........(whose families obviously had not come to America). It was quite a surprise ten years ago when I was entering the same death date over and over again for youth from these various families.............different surnames, different Christian names and different birthdays but all the same death day...........June 6, 1944.

I used to make a mean sauerbraten, marinating it for days.......
Our son in law also likes to make sauerbraten at holiday time....
or, any time for that matter.........

Sounds like a good cool weather dish......

When my mom was alive, her senior center would take bus trips to Michigan for their Octoberfest each year.......they all loved it.
