| Abstract | Part two of an article describing the author's genealogic research. The Wolsch and Kneschk families came from the villages of Braunsdorf, Weisswasser, and Gablenz in Prussia, and were Wendish, a Slavic people with a culture and language akin to Polish and Czech. Describes the reasons for Wendish emigration from Prussian and Saxon states, how the use of Hochdeutsch as a lingua franca among immigrants who spoke various dialects contributed to the loss of Wendish language and culture, and anti-German sentiment during World Wars I and II in Haskell County, Texas. |
