To hear the gentleman name Sauerlinder is amazing. My grandmother was Laura Gertrude Sauerlinder, daughter of William Saurlinder. Does anyone have info on these two names?
Interesting, I grew up in a neighbouring community to this one. Remember going to school with some of these pale skin German descendants, Stuart is one name i remember. Walking through the village seeing blue eyes old lady. There was a house there we called Doctor's House. All the rivers for the surrounding areas drain to that lower area. Lush and green with interesting looking board houses 😅. At the last day of school, "We" living up the hills usually pick fights with them (from down the hill, area is low), get to an advantageous position up, so the fight could continue with rocks 😅 (boys). By the time u found a rock to throw, they were gone! (swift on their feet, they were). If they hit u first, don't waste time chasing, u will not catch them 😅😅
Why you call it the cow bush??? Ask a stupid question.... You get a sensible answer.. Because mi have de cow dem inna de bush so mi jus call it de cow bush different from de yam bush.....😅😅😅😅😅😅
History has it that in the 1800s; a ship from Scotland was in the harbor at Treasure Beach/ Great Bay area of South West St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. The ship developed mechanical issues and was unable to return to Scotland. Guess what happened to the crew (all Scottish men) - they INTEGRATED in the community. That's why to this day; many people from Treasure Beach area has the look - blue eyes, freckles, blonde/red hair; and the names also - Smith, Jones, Powell, Parchment, James, et al. One Love - Jamaica to the ❤❤ 🌎 🇯🇲
Thank you for sharing! I watched and will share with my family. Interestingly enough, my grandmother told me her great grandfather on her mom’s side was German soldier named Schwartz who married a Bombay Indian gal & came to Jamaica on a ship from India and that’s how they came to Jamaica to Germantown. They had 3 daughters of mixed German/ Indian descent. One of the daughters (Sophia) married John Dalley. My grandmothers grandpa & grandma. My grandmother is now passed. She lived with me to 100! And told me stories upon stories!
So fascinating. I´m german (living in germany). NO ONE in germany knows anything about "germantowns" in Jamaica! Totally unknown history. But i know some Stockhausens (a not very unusual name in germany). Sauerländer is more unusual as a name but there is a landscape known as the "sauerland". Great film. Danke and auf wiedersehen :-)
Hah hah... all I can say is I prefer these German decendants way better than the ones which are in Westmoreland. The one dem a Westmoreland dem a inbred, and racist and them love dem ignorance too much. This whole conversations from this documentary warms my heart. And brought tears to my eyes.
If you know history. A lot of people back in the 1800's and earlier stayed with their own race, and did not want to mix to preserve their race. Black people did as well. For you to judge Westmoreland people like that shows how unintelligent you really are. Maybe read up on history before you comment
@@anderslarson6813 it's not a judgement type into youtube Germantown Westmoreland. They claim racism/ colourism in the interviews. Seeing that you are so educated and intelligent. Are we in the 1800 does your argument makes sense? These are recent interviews also by the way. Now who's unintelligent ?
@@ChillingwithTati you're very unintelligent and since you are black and you fail to see how much of inbred your culture truly is dating back to the 1800's . You fail to acknowledge how your culture was and yet you condemn other cultures. Why don't you condemn black inbreds? And racist blacks that stayed with their own kind? You lack knowledge and maybe you need to do some research on how blacks were back then.
There apparently is a place in St James Parish called German Town as well, it's near Maldon and Vaughansfield, and a distant relative of mine named Frederick Augustus Brown lived there in the early 1900s
The only German town exist is in Germany. All town in Jamaica are Jamaican towns. Get unnu facts togedda.Furthermore, they only called themselves Germans because their ancestors enslaved our ancestors and took the indigenous people's land and settled in Jamaica. They're settlers. They're are also so racist that they refused to integrate because they think they're better than Jamaicans.
My dad would always tell me that our great granddaddy came from lowerTrelawney, and married grandmother from upper Trelawney. Our names is Hibbert, so I know we have German Jamaican heritage.
