Notes:

According to a book on PA Dutch settlers, the people from Germany had to go to Rotterdam and Amsterdam, Holland to get on a boat to come to America. When asked their language the reply was "Deutsch" meaning "German." This was confused with the word "Dutch" so the name "PA Dutch" stuck. Many of them sailed from Germany down the Rhine River, passing through many custom houses. They were often detained and the trip took several weeks. Then they were detained again in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The boats were crowded, conditions very poor, food and water scarce on the long trip to America.
