KS43 Russell County, Kansas
Abstract
Wenker sentences, conversations and anecotes/jokes recorded in 1995 for the Volga German (West Middle German) dialect of Milberger, KS. Male speaker, born in 1933.
Description
The nearby town of Galatia in Barton County is mentioned in an anecdote. This speaker's family, though, associated with the church in Milberger. That church is now gone and only the cemetery remains.
One recording describes a set of three pictures from an out-of-print coloring book depicting rural farm life. A copy of the pictures is included in the User Guide.
Due to a failing microphone battery, a lot of noise intruded into the recordings. Wenker sentences #6 and #15 were especially affected. Noise reduction was applied where necessary.
