Two of my ancestors made the journey to New Sweden after it was founded. Thank you for making this video.

While your interweaving technique thrills me as a historian, and is why I love your podcast, it frustrates me in sequencing the episodes as you want us to listen. Could you please add a series numbering cue, so I can quit spending five minutes figuring out which one comes next? Other than that, your work holds me in thrall and awe, which you might take as a compliment because my postgraduate degrees both came from Ivy League schools. and you fully their equal. Probably their product? No need to answer, it’s not about the snobbery. I’m isolated as a caregiver and you’re feeding my soul. Thank you.

Check out the playlist section of the page. All these episode come from the actual podcast which is in listening order by date published podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-other-states-of-america-history-podcast/id1507224670 I wish i were Ivy league, I didn't have the discipline for such thing until I hit my 30s. Thank you for the compliment though, I generally try to sound as jargon free, regular Joe, off the cuff everyman, as possible, which is relatable, but sometimes obscures the amount of thought and reading put into the work. Caregiving is something I've done and my wife has done it's never easy, and not necessarily rewarding, but it is the right thing to do, so long as you are able provide.

There has only been *one* European colony which A) did not have any wars with Indigenous people, and B) did not participate in the sale of African slaves, and C) purchased land agreements from Indigenous people before actually arriving. There's only one European colony that met all of this criteria, and this was it.

Thoroughly enjoying all this. I’ve lived in Niskayuna/Colonie for 15 years and always wondered, what happened to the Dutch? Up until now, my knowledge of local history (not having grown up in NYS) came from Cooper’s pulpy Leatherstocking tales.

How did they get displaced by the Italians and Stewart’s Shops? To be clear, I’m a Stewart’s fan. Was hoping to get a glimpse of the pine bush and the King’s Road, which is probably coming up.

Thank you for sharing. Very intersting and scary how little history nowadays people know. Would appreciate some more photos of your topics. Once again thank you very much for your podcast. Today around 5% of the Finnish people speaks Swedish an heritage from when Finland was part of the Swedish Empire.

Vliegend hert literally translated means flying deer. It is also the Dutch name for a large European beetle. Lucanus cervus, known as the European stag beetle, or the greater stag beetle.

Awesome sauce!

Peter Minute was probably either Jewish or more likely a Protestant. if he was a refuge. A lot of French or present time Belgium moved or escaped to Prostestant countries like some German states, the Netherlands, England, Danmark-Norway, Sweden-Finland, etc

The word for deer in Norwegian and danish is hjort. Pronounced pretty close to heart.

Every single branch in my entire family tree can be traced in America back at least 5 generations before myself. The farthest I can prove so far in America is 13 generations back. The farthest in my tree in Europe that I've identified, goes back 17 generations. That being said. Being six or more generations since all my relations left Europe, I'm still extremely Nordic, just on my mom's side: Norwegian 16%, German 15%, Sweedish/Danish 12%, Welsh 5%, Finnish 1%

[@lindakay9552]

I was thinking either Jewish or Roma. My 2nd great grandpa was from Belgium.
