My family originally came to the United States in the early 18th century. Based on our name and other facts I am reasonably sure they originated in England. However, The family Bible which was used by those who first came over is in German.
Were there English religious dissenters who lived in Germany?
Hi! I think you might need to provide some more details if you want a specific answer. Namely, do you know their religious denomination, and can you identify the translation of the Bible? Were they - or might their ancestors have been - Lutheran? Is the Bible in question the Luther Bible? Or perhaps the Piscator Bible - if so, were they Reformed/Calvinist?
Family names could also be useful, if that is isn't too invasive.
