Excerpt from Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, Vol. 9: A Magazine of History, Biography and Genealogy Early in the prehistoric days of Europe there swept over what is now northern Germany, great hordes of a loosely connected people whom we call the Germanic. These Germans were divided into two great linguistic sections, viz., the High Germans, whose homes were in the highlands of central Europe, and the Low Germans, whose chief habitat was on the great plains of the north. To the Low German family belong those whom we now term the Netherland people and the Angles and Saxons of the north German shore, who were the most important ancestors of the modern English and the Lowland Scottish peoples. The Netherlanders, with the exception of some primitive Gallo-Celtic elements, were closely related to the Anglo-Saxons, who invaded Britain and subjugated the Celtic tribes of that island, combining with British Celts to build up the great empire whose flag now floats in every quarter of the globe.
