German ARD Video: 300 Jahre Siegerlander in Virginia

April 7, 2015 By Germanna

German media attended last year’s reunion and conference and produced a video. You can watch it at this link.

300 Jahre Siegerländer in Virginia:
Aktuelle Stunde vom 30.08.2014

Die ersten Deutschen, die in den USA siedelten, kamen aus dem Siegerland. 1714 holte der damalige Gouverneur von Virginia einige hundert Siegener und Wittgensteiner nach Amerika und beschäftigte sie als Bergleute für die Eisenverhüttung. Fast ein Jahr waren die Auswanderer damals unterwegs, bevor sie im Osten der USA siedelten.
