Unique Pa German Groff Family Bible Record 1700s
You are viewing a rare and unique Pennsylvania German manuscript Bible record for the Groff family of Lancaster County. PA This page was removed years ago from a Bible and then mounted to cardboard with staples(see scan) The overall damage from the staples is minimal since they can be removed rather easily( had it been idiot Scotch Tape, the acid would have ruined the paper) The good news is that the inscription is intact, and that the records may prove invaluable to someone descended from this old illustrious Mennonite family. The sheet of paper measures 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches with German script on BOTH sides. We have not attempted to lift the old paper to show the back side but there is 1(one) entry on the back for a child of this same family. What you see here are the birth dates of babies, Marx(Marcus) 1757, Hans(John) 1778, Anna(1780) ... moreDavid(1782) and a later one on the back. It has been suggested that perhaps Marcus is the father of the others, since there is such a time span between him and the rest: he was old enough to start making babies in the 1770s, but this is just a suggestion, since many of these old Mennonites ran through several wives. In any case, here is genealogical information not found anywhere else and it looks as though the original family Bible may be destroyed. RARE.

WENKENBERG HIMMELSBRIEF - RARE TYPE OF PA GERMAN BROADSIDE - AMISH PRINTING
Several types of Himmelsbriefe(Letters from Heaven) were printed by Pennsylvania Germans. The most common one was supposed to have been delivered at Magdeburg(sometimes misspelled Madgeburg) in 1783. The rarest one was delivered at Wenkenberg(sometimes misspelled Wenkenburg) in 1721. In fact. The Wenkenberg Himmelsbrief is so rare that Edwin M. Fogel missed it entirely in his survey of Pennsylvania German Himmelsbriefe published in the German American Annals in 1908. This particular copy is from the collection of Dr. Don Yoder, who purchased it decades ago at Weaver's Bookstore in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Dr. Yoder translates the beginning of the text as follows: A Quite New Doleful and Veracious Statement of Warning from the Letter that Hung in the Air at Wenkenburg on the 29th of December 1721. This Letter God allowed to be seen, ... moreoutside and inside the city, so that no one knew on what it was hanging. But it was written in golden letters and sent from God through an angel. Whoever desires to copy it, to him it will lower itself; but whoever has no desire to copy it, it will fly away from him into the air. Please see my other listings for other Himmelsbriefe.
