  • The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776
    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume.

  • In My Father's House: Two Tales of Jewish Origin
    IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE: TWO TALES OF JEWISH ORIGIN AMONG THE GA-ADANGME OF ACCRA IN 2015 Dr. Daniel Lis ABSTRACT: In Accra, two houses represent two distinct places that portray memories of a Jewish origin. One of them is the stool house of the royal Nikolai family. On a mural the wanderings of the Ga- Adangme ancestors from Israel into West Africa is portrayed. The other house holds the burial place of Wulff Joseph Wulff, a Danish Jew who settled in Osu in 1836. In this article, I will compare the two narratives and reflect on how both contribute to a contemporary Jew- ish myth of the origin of the Ga-Adangme-speaking peoples of Ghana. In the hustle and bustle of Ghana’s capital city, Accra, two houses a few miles apart represent two distinct places that portray mem- ories of a Jewish or Hebrew/Israelite origin among the Ga- Adangme-speaking peoples. One of them, in Ussher Town, one of Accra’s oldest neighbour- hoods is the stool house of the royal Nikolai family of the Asere Division. On a mural in the courtyard of the compound, the wan- derings of the Ga-Adangme ancestor, Ayi Kushie, from Israel to Ethiopia and of Nikolai (Ni Koi Olai), the patriarch of the Asere, from Kush (Sudan) into West Africa in 1424 are portrayed. From there, one of his descendants, Nii Nikolai Ashaley I, led his peo- ple to the coastal area, where they settled at Ga Mashie, present- day Accra, in 1660. The other house, a 30-minute walk along the coast to the east on Castle Drive in Osu, Christiansborg (present-day Accra) and op- posite the old Danish cemetery, holds the burial place of Wulff Joseph Wulff, a Danish Jew who settled in Osu (present-day Ac- cra) in 1836.Through his relationship with a local woman, Wulff established the line of the Wulffs within Osu’s prominent fami- lies.

Question 2: Contribution to their activities Reply No events of this kind have as yet taken place in Gerlingen. k Question j5: "Twinning activities" Reply Since 1964., Gerlingen has been twinned with the French town of Vesoul/Haute SaSne (the Deed of Association dates from 24 May 1964 and the text appears in the enclosed brochures). From the beginning, extensive annual programmes have been organised in close co-operation with the municipal authorities, town council, schools, churches, organisations and associations in Vesoul. Specialised twin town committees appointed' by the town councils meet alternately in each town every year to co-ordinate plans and discuss any questions which arise. As proof of the many activities which we organise, we enclose an account of the first ten years of our twin towns scheme, published in 1974, and an outline of the yearly programmes for 1975-78. We have always, and increasingly in recent years, done our best to encourage family contacts and to facilitate the exchange of visits by individual young people.
