Alsace was a mixed German/French, Catholic/Protestant crossroads province on the west bank of the Rhine between Germany and Switzerland. It has changed hands between Germany and France several times and now comprises two French districts, Haut Rhin and Bas Rhin. Haguenau is in Bas Rhin less than 10 miles from the Rhine and 15 miles north of Strasbourg. (In the movie and book "Band of Brothers," Haguenau was the place where a patrol from E Company crossed the Moder River at night and took German prisoners.)
-
In the 1700s, Alsace was a recruiting ground for Pennsylvania immigrants. As ethnic Germans and Protestants with six daughters, Jakob and Anna Maria Rauscher were prime candidates for the move from the Rhine to the Susquehanna. Their girls ranged in age from 5 to 17.
-
On 17 August 1733, the Rauschers arrived at the Philadelphia docks on board the ship 'Samuel' several weeks out of Rotterdam. The ship's master was Hugh Percy.
-
Based on the long list of descendants of Christina and her sisters, in addition to their land grant the Rauschers should have been awarded a fertility bonus. Christina and Erasmus had 12 children and at least 53 grandchildren. Her youngest sister Maria may have been a close second in grandchildren.

Breathe deeply and you can almost smell the delicious Pennsylvania German food sitting ready on their dining tables.
