I used to live in Boulder. I will let you know when I update the page with all the citations. No descendant from various lines of Joseph seems to know where in Pennsylvania he was from, and he has not been found there yet in records. I think if it is going to found, that it may come through DNA. Tradition told by Henry W. AMY (grandson of Joseph) to his granddaughters [including my mother] was that the name was originally EMIGH or AMIGH. I don't know how much you know about DNA, but y-DNA is passed directly from father to son, so the person that would have to test would to be a direct line male descendant of Joseph. Would this be something in which you would be interested? There is some general information about testing at http://www.familytreedna.com/privacy.html If you are interested, I will see if I can locate and interest some AMIGH/EMIGH/AMICK/EMICH etc. in addition to any other AMY that would be interested in forming a surname project, which would bring the costs of testing down. I would be glad to be the coordinator of the project, as I am already doing that for another surname. My e-mail is listed on the AMY page of the first post if you would like to respond privately.
