Hi from Baden Württemebrg. I think Astadt could be 2 communities. Abstatt in the Heilbronn Region OR Assamstadt in the Hohenlohe Region. Astadt as a City or village i dont know.

This is a beautiful place! I am not from your area, and no, I never heard of Conrad Weiser. It's a shame ... he was such an important part of history. And 99% of what I know about the French and Indian War I have learned from you. Thank you.

Conrad Weiser is a hero of mine, partly because most of my ancestors came from the Palatinate. The homestead is on my bucket list. Thanks for the video!

I was raised in south western Chester Co. Pa and everybody pronounce Lenape as Len-a-pe. There was also a Lenape Park on the Brandywine creek. A small amusement park, My Mom's company had picnics there. Believe its has been gone for years.

When I first read the title to the video I honestly thought maybe he was a relation to Bud Weiser or part of the company at one time. This was much more interesting, a very good explanation of the history of that area. The house and cemetery are so very well kept. Great video.

Great history lesson! Some of my German and Austrian ancestors came over the same way, but I must admit I know very little about them. I have mostly looked into my Native American and Scottish ancestors. I have really enjoyed watching this playlist (series) the past couple of days.

I’m a descendent of both Weiser and Zellers. There is a 1 level stone house close to the bigger house he talks about. Conrad Weiser lived in the smaller house. I’ve been there several times in the last 40 yrs.

There is a book call Conrad weiser and the Indian affairs. It's a great read I found it at the Middletown pa public library . If you want a good look into his life and the way things went between the Indians and settlers of that time this book has a lot of information on those subjects.

Cliff, A few thoughts. Why wasn't Conrad Weiser taught in school or a movie made about him? We make decisions throughout our lives which dramatically change our paths. Think the poem by Robert Frost, "the Road Not Taken" or perhaps," The Man In High Castle", by Philip K Dick. or the Sci_fi story of a man going back to the age of dinosaur, stepping on a small creature and returning to a world totally different from the one he left. As a te3acher and lover of history, you see those consequences all the time. That is the nature of existence., for good or bad. Cheers, Rik Spector

The Lenape were known as the woman tribe amongst the Indians. They got screwed when a man ran the sunup to sundown rule and claimed much more land than was moral. He was suppose to walk and take breaks to eat etc. just as my ancestor did where I live to be given land by a tribe in 1782, which founded our town.
