The Schnecks Go To Shady Maple in Lancaster County | Paul & Jean met 72 years ago TODAY!
On August 3, 2024, Paul and Jean Schneck, age 93, celebrated the 72nd anniversary of their "meeting day." Born in 1931, Paul grew up on a farm in North Whitehall Township in northern Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Jean, also born in 1931, grew up on a farm in Zionsville in Upper Milford Township, located in southern Lehigh County. These two Pennsylvania Dutch lovebirds would never have met had they not decided to take a steamboat cruise up the Hudson River on August 3, 1952! Come along as Paul and Jean Schneck reminisce about how they met, and celebrate with their family at Shady Maple in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Wow wow wow!! This is great ! I have these very same memories! Now I’m 39 . Thank you 😊
I worked at a DZ in HighSchool and had to clean the rollers of the slide after a kid crapped his pants…Still one of the best jobs ever!
I really enjoyed this- you are all so blessed ❤
What a shame
Wish my family was as close and loving as yours.
I wish they would adopt me !😂
Dank da
I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos - and most all - listening to your parents tell their story in their wonderful Pennsylvania Dutch accent. It's the sound of so many of my relatives and acquaintances from years ago and brings back great memories. I'm an Allentown native but moved south over 40 years ago and rarely get to hear this regional accent. Thanks for sharing your family's story.
@@deborahharner2401 thank you so much for watching and commenting! We enjoy sharing our family with the world. The fact that my parents are over 90 means they help us time-travel back to a simpler time. So wonderful. It’s funny though, because they are my parents, I really don’t hear their accents!! 🤗
Your family added a baby into this mix? Oh, that's so cool!
@@cweditor yup, first great grandchild!!
I like the beatnick hat and the gray hat the best with that shirt!
the beatnick hat was the best!!! We could only convince him to wear the grey hat for a short time, but I have to say, for two 93-year-olds-- they really are good sports!
Very nice, good to hear the accent!!
I’m 34 and seeing this brings back a feeling I will never forget
This is my family’s home❤️ my great aunt is in the tour group. Im a proud Crawford and I hope more people get to hear our story.
So great to hear from you!! It was truly an honor to go on this tour and hear their stories. Much respect for the good people of Uniontown!
If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much!
Great video ! Switzerland is one of my favorite places, absolutely luv it there. Thx for sharing, some great memories for your family.
@@DDDD-pv7fw thank you so much!! We had such a wonderful time. The entire trip was great, but I have to agree with you, Switzerland is spectacular!
Gone are the days when you took Icelandair to Luxembourg! What a great trip! We sure have a lot of similar places of origin! I’m heading to the Palatinate and Lucerne Switzerland this fall. My son will play several gigs in Germany in PA Dutch. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for the Schneck name!
I still remember the fabulous salmon served on the airline, and the beautiful, blond Icelandic flight attendants. The whole trip was filled with magical moments. It was fun reliving it while putting this highlite reel together. Yes, you would have a lot of similar origins! That’s great you are getting to travel over there. Take lots of video!
that horse powered thresher is pure genius!
I worked at the tech school in Schnecksville (LCTI). Very nice place. My family's original 150 acre farm was near Pennsburg, PA, in what is now Montgomery County. When my family got here around 1725, the area was part of Philadelphia County. Our second generation in America grandparents bought a 125 acre farm in Valley Forge in 1772 and got it up and running just in time for General Washington to use their barn as a commissary in the winter of 1776. The farm is now part of the National Park and still called by my family name. We are still in the area, 300 years later.
@@BernWag that’s amazing! Isn’t it great to have ties to our nation’s founding?!
This place was awesome. It’s too bad it went out of business.
Joanne’s having the time of her life. 🐷😂
I think I can speak for her that all us kids were glad we didn’t have to do this growing up! The worst thing we had to do was pick weeds in our large garden!
My mother was Pennsylvania Dutch my father was Polish. I'm very proud of both but I have to say" if you ain't Dutch you ain't much". LOL
I loved the commercial I'm going DZ at Discovery zone were I can run and jump and play and be on my own.
I was a kid in the 90s I miss this place it was so much fun and yes I remember when the mighty Morphin power ranger movie came out in 95 to this video really is complete nostalgia nowadays in a post covid-19 world places like this could only be dreamed but could never exist

At the time, that roller slide was the greatest thing ever.
I am Dutch, which according to everyone and every dictionary means I am from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, one of the member-states of the European Union. The main language there is Dutch, or Nederlands, same thing. Germany is another country, where they speak Deutsch, or German. It's related to Dutch, like Dutch and German are related to English and Swedish and Danish etc. The examples in this video have nothing to do with Dutch, but are just some remnants of German influence. "Wie geht's", for example, is pure German. Even the spelling "Schneck" is German, not Dutch. So the title of the video is wrong, as is the term "PA Dutch" ... 😅
Es ist Pennsylfannishe Deitsch genannt. Wir wissen wohl dass wir nicht Neederlandse sprechen. Die amerikanische Leute heißen es "Dutch", aber wir wissen dass es nicht ist.
@@Niravata greetings! Sorry-you’ll need to take that up with the 18th-century English people in Pennsylvania! They are the ones that labeled all the 18th century German-speaking immigrants “Dutch.” (Deitsch) There was no unified country of Germany at that time. There are many historical records from the 18th century that include this term, not to mention that my ancestors all identified as Pennsylvania Dutch, as do I. It has become a source of confusion as the centuries rolled on (people think we’re from the Netherlands) but most people of this ethnic group still call themselves by this term. If you search for the Kutztown Folk Festival in Pennsylvania, which is coming up soon, you can see our culture on display! The Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants primarily emigrated from what is today southwest Germany, Alsace, and Switzerland. Their dialects blended into what is today the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect. It is mainly spoken today by conservative groups like the Amish. In the 18th century, more than 90% of the immigrants were Lutheran and Reformed, the rest were Anabaptists. Thanks for watching!
I first lived in kempton valley and then in emmaus (outside of Allentown)wonderful people and food
I was in 3rd grade. I had a project due the following morning. I will never forget this storm.
This is amazing!! Matt & I are probably the same age!😂 Thank you so much for sharing this!

The song was the British anthem?
It is actually the song "America" also called "My Country Tis of Thee" written in 1831. We sing that often in the USA. The author used the British royal anthem, a symbol of monarchy, to make a statement about American democracy. I had to look that up, I always wondered why it was the same tune!
I think the saying the mother didn't understand was " es tut mir leid "( I am sorry).
perhaps it is, thank you for commenting and watching!
I met my PA Dutch husband at Temple. Go Owls 🦉❤️
A Kiwel (Kübel) and an Ämer (Eimer) are pretty much the same and they're often used as synonymes. But if I imagine my old grandma saying "e Kiwel Wasser" it means fresh water. She wouldn't say "e Ämer Wasser" and take that water for cooking, so it would be for cleaning. An Ämer is just like a tool, it's dirty. If you carry some wine or milk you would use a Kiwel.
Thank you, very interesting! I passed your comment along to my parents!
Die Kuh is iwer die Fence gejump. 😅 We'd say "...iwer de Zaun gesprung." You sound very American, but still understandable - mostly. You know what Schneck means, right? E "Schneck" (eine Schnecke) is a snail or a scroll. And for those who wonder: "Grawe" (ditch) is related to the English "grave", yes. As a verb "grawe" ("graben" in standard German) means to dig.
Yes, we get teased about being "snails!" Thank you for this information on how you say things, I sent it to my parents. We are glad you are watching from Germany!!
Yeah I know that, my family name is Hahn (rooster) so I get teased too, haha. But as I said, a Schneck is also a scroll, that spiral form is called Schneck independent from the animal. So it doesn't mean you're slow and eating all the salad in the garden. I can buy a cinnamon Schneck (Zimtschnecke) at my local bakery, it's delicious. 😊 Fence is pretty English so maybe they forgot the German words and for that they use the English ones. Fence sounds like "Fenster" (window) so maybe that's related. Gesprung(en) is past participle of "springen" and that means to jump. Those languages are closely related anyway. If you compare official Deutsch to English they look pretty different overall, but if you know some dialect (and some French) it's like a missing link. There are many words that sound or look similar but mean different things, but there's still a connection. The German "Bein" (leg) is the English "bone" and pants are "Hosen", which makes sense cause a pant is made of two hoses so to say. Such things are really fascinating to me.
@@superaids404 a good friend of my dad is a Hahn! I never knew what that meant. Now I do! Thanks for sharing about the scroll, I feel better now about my name! And yes, when I was in Germany in 1999, we bought a lot of Schnecken pastry! I grew up living among many people of German descent. If you haven’t seen my video about our local Grundsau Lodge, you will enjoy hearing people from my county in Pennsylvania speaking in the dialect. Recorded this past February. th-cam.com/video/ozG42uFIZ9M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GkZnp_tqORkD8LND
I love hearing this... JOY!
It was one of the highlights of our trip, so very unexpected!!
Love your videos Darlene! Thank you so much for keeping our history alive. I’m a Remaly (the family that settled and founded the Slatington area), and the new owner of the old Weida house on the corner of Park Ave and 873. I’m looking for old photos and history on the property and thought you might be the one to ask…or at least be able to point me in the right direction. Also if you didn’t hear they’re going to be taking removing the disc golf from Neffs Valley and putting in a playground!
Hi Bryan! It’s great to hear from you, a fellow descendant of an original settler in the area!Thanks for the kind feedback, we love making these videos. Is your new house facing 873 on the fire company side of the street, or is it the other house along Park Avenue at the corner? I knew a Weida who grew up in Neffs, he was a little older than me. I do have some information on the expansion of Neffs in the 1800s, but no additional photos beyond what I’ve already shared in my videos. Send me an email at ddschneck@gmail.com and I’ll send you what I have.
This is awesome. My grandmother and grandfather on my dad's side were Pennsylvania Dutch.

I discovered finding an old newspaper article a few weeks ago that this was the place I went to when I was 3 years old in Sept 1997! I went here for a birthday party for my Uncles neighbor. I always remembered loving the ball pit at the time and remember they served pizza like Chuck E Cheese. I didn't go to Chuck E Cheese until Sept 1999. The location I went to was at the Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia! I'm glad you got video of this, especially in the ball pit!

Guten Abend, meine Muttersprache Deutsch, komme von Hunsrück Gebirge Rheinland-Pfalz, selbe Dialekt. Verstehe Euch sehr gut ,Danke schön
Good afternoon, it's wonderful to hear from you!! I sent your comment to my parents. They enjoy hearing from people in Germany! It is amazing that we can understand each other's dialect after hundreds of years of us living in Pennsylvania. In 1999, I visited Germany with my Schneck relatives, and we stopped at Trier and Kaiserslautern, not far from you. The Schnecks on our tour were able to use their dialect in southwestern Germany and northern Switzerland and the German people understood them. We enjoyed our time there very much. I would love to return to Germany one day. Thanks for watching our video!
Hallo ich komme aus der Pfalz und unser Dialekt hat sich nur wenig verändert, ich habe auch alles verstanden. I also grew up with the game your mother spoke about, which is amazing I think. There was a verse that goes with it and it went like this: "Hoppe, hoppe Reiter Wenn er fällt dann schreit er. Fällt er in den Graben, fressen ihn die Raben" The parent bounces the child on his/her knees and with the word "Graben" the legs of the parents are opened a bit so the child 'falls' just like your mother described it - I think it is absolutely wonderful that this has bee a shared memory of children for hundreds of years and "hiwwe wie driwwe" (here and there) Best wishes from Germany
@@moodindigos1 wow, that is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I forwarded your comment to my parents. They are especially happy to hear from people in Germany. We have been in Pennsylvania for so many generations, it feels wonderful to connect to our homeland and learn of these similarities. We also have this tradition with small children where we say “give me an aye aye” and the child presses their cheek against the parent’s cheek, or gives another comforting gesture one to the other. Have you ever heard of that?
@@darleneschneck Yes, I have. Children are often taught to, for example, go "aye" (mach ei) when being gentle with a baby or when touching pets. My grandniece, who is 2, always says "aye aye" when gently petting my cat for example. Learning about this shared culture is amazing.
@@moodindigos1 that's just so amazing! My sister is teaching her granddaughter, Emma, to say "aye-aye." Emma is a 10th-generation Pennsylvanian! Isn't this incredible that something so sweet would be passed along that many generations? It has to be a custom from the Palatinate that existed already in the early 1700s. My German ancestors emigrated between 1727-1750. Most were from southwest Germany. Some were originally from Switzerland (my Mennonite ancestors). They moved to the Palatinate for several generations to escape persecution before coming to America. I'm trying to think of other things my grandparents said that didn't make it on this video...one thing I remember is that my grandfather, when he was expressing disbelief (along with a twinge of disapproval), would shake his head and say "ay-ya-ya-ya" it got longer the more strongly he felt it 😊
