Sachsische Sagen by Hans-Jorg Uther

This was a book given to me by my German aunt.  It was fun for me because its sayings and quick stories for the area where my father and his ancestors are mostly from.  It had many folk tales and stories that were passed down through the history of the various locations that are located in this part of Germany.

Fun book, in the German language that will have fun meaning for those of this area.

Fundstücke Dokumente und Briefe einer preussischen Bauernfamilie 1747-1953

This is a bit different from most reviews I have written.  It is actually written in the Germany language, which I know because I am from Germany and because I do genealogy.  I got a tip about this book because it is about the Zander family which is a family that I descend from in the area of a town called Nitzahn.

It is a compilation of documents found in an attic and published in this book about the dealings of this family through time.  It is not a book that you can just sit down and read, such as a novel or similar, but if you are interested in the family history of Zanders, it is a good source.  I am happy that I was able to get a copy and as time passes will study it more fully as to my Zanders.  I am happy to learn more about them.
