@@gatheringleaves this video has to be real old. I'm grown and I see kids in the video that I remember as kids. I'm not exactly sure when it was filmed. It looks like the early 90s to me.
@@trelawnyempresscc4564 Is he still alive. I know this must be an old video. I used to watch Hill and Gully ride every Sunday evening when I used to live in Jamaica.
i love hill and gully ride....been watching from a child. i think parents should encourage kids to watch this program, it teaches us so much about our country and the rich history it has.
I will always cherish these wonderful memories as a child on Hill and Gully Ride. Such great memories to see my late great grandmother Marie and grand aunt Myrtle🙏🥰😘. Good interview grandpa and grandma....love always😘🥰. One day I will be able to show my children this video and remind them of the good ole times. RIP Aunt Myrtle, Grandma Marie, Miss Daisy, Sport, Miss Eulie and all the others in this video that have passed on. ❤❤❤❤Big up my parish Trelawny....🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
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!
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.....😅😅😅😅😅😅
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 :-)
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 😅😅
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 ❤❤ 🌎 🇯🇲
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.
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
Jamaica has a very interesting history. I'm sure there might be some other settlements of some other Germans in Johnson Mtn, St Thomas, or even Portland.
There is . Its good that some one is doing these documentaries. I am truly enjoying the patios spoken by thes set of jamaicans🤣🤣most of us blacks have to stay a back with that
@@ChillingwithTati You are so right. Many years ago, I attended a wedding reception in a place called Johnson mountain, in St. Thomas(close by)Portland. Here I met several men and women who appeared to be of German decedent.
My great grandparents are from germany and i used to hear stories as well about my great grandfather being a strict fellow, funny thing they mentioned st ann an that's exactly where we're from, my mother's father is german but resides in england my father's father is of irish decent 🤦🏽♂️ what a mixture jah jah
There used to be a lot of white folks in Christiana, Manchester, when I was a child back in late 60s. I never knew their heritage but I remember people calling them Christiana white.
@@Cahtame u would see them all over on Saturdays, shopping. One of the girl I knew surname was Jones. There were some with surname Miller. But if you ask anyone in their 60s and older they would remember.
@@Cahtame : The Jones they are family with the Kirbys that own the big business my mom side of family, Christian and Spalding was full of white people they did farming..
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?
oh shit. Im related to the Stockhausens. ( sp?) The things you learn simply by watching youtube. My grandfather was a McHardy from Jackson Town, Trelawny. I was born in Mandeville.
@@racquelbarnes5023 Actually I checked with my uncle. We are related through marriage. My Grand Aunt ( Grandmothers sister) was married to a StockHausen. We were British by history.
Mr. Dudley Smart is a handsome man! He looks like Honorable Micheal Manly! Tell him to give me a link only if he is single…I’ll find him a wife here in the USA…
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.
This was so weird watching my aunt wilvie and seeing my great grandmother again 🥲 wow I remember being in and out of this house as a young girl I feel so blessed to be alive and well today
Are you German?
Marian smart was my great grandmother so I guess that makes me some kind of German
