Thank Goodness my family was thrown out of the Garden of Eden and into
Tennessee. LOL I am having trouble following the posts, much less figuring
out what place to use in TMG.

I know that but the people living there have been
"Deutsch" for a long, long time before the 2nd Reich
was established after the Franco-Prussian war.
Deutschland did not start up like magic in 1871. It
had always been there but it did not have a strong
central government - actually until Hitler. The word
Germany came from the old Latin Germania into the
English language. It included all those people who
were part of the Germanic tribes of old.
