Names of Foreigners Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the Province and State of Pennsylvania, 1727-1775. with the Foreign Arrivals, 1786-1808
In 1727, the Pennsylvania Provincial Council passed a law requiring all "foreign" immigrants (i.e. those of non-British origin) to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown. Lists of these immigrants were originally assembled for publication in the Pennsylvania Archives (Ser. 2, Vol. XVII), and they are reprinted here without change. This work, then, is an exhaustive list of "foreigners"-mostly Germans-who immigrated into the Province and, later, the State of Pennsylvania between the years 1727 and 1775 and again during the years 1786-1808. More to the point, it is a collection of ships' passenger lists, in many cases the lists being transcribed in entirety, with Captains' lists of passengers running up to the relatively late year of 1808. Along with the full name of the immigrant, including the names of all males over the age of sixteen, since that was the age they were obliged to take the oath, such information is given as name of ship, date of arrival, port of origin, and, in some instances, ages, names of wives, and names of children. An exhaustive index of surnames, running to more than 100 pages, contains about 35,000 references.

»... und das Zeitliche mit dem Ewigen verwechselt«
In Kirchen stehen und liegen oft Grabsteine; Epitaphe stehen oder hängen an den Wänden. Der Kirchenbesucher läuft meist an ihnen vorüber. Schaut er sie an, sind für ihn In- und Aufschriften nur schwer zu entziffern, Embleme und Ikonographien unverständlich und die Inhalte der Wappen rätselhaft. Zwar wirken sie so oft geheimnisvoll auf den Kirchenbesucher, aber sie bleiben doch eher ein Rätsel. Im vorliegenden Band werden Grabsteine und Epitaphe der Martin Luther Kirche Markkleeberg (ehemals Gautzsch) möglichst »ganzheitlich« erfasst: Denkmalinhaber, Materialität, Beschaffenheit, In- und Aufschriften sind aufgenommen und ausgewertet, heraldische Zeichen beschrieben und genealogisc...
