Julie, Apparently, Heidelberg was a popular name in old PA. There is/was a Heidelberg in Allegheny County. Lebanon County has/had a Heidelberg was well as a Heidelberg Church/Meeting House. Berks County has/had a Heidelberg Cemetery. Lehigh County also has/had a Heidelberg Church as well as a Heidelberg School. York County also has/had a Heidelberg School. The problem with associating places with counties is that the counties became parts of other counties as the states evolved and grew. For example, my info shows a Heidelberg cemetery in a part of PA that was part of Lancaster County until 1752 when it became part of Berks County with the creation of that county. Also, there is (was) a Heidelberg Meeting House not far from there which was in a part of PA that was part of Lancaster County until 1785 when it became part of Dauphin County when that county was created. Then, in 1813, it became part of Lebanon County when that county was created. Hope this helps. Les Beaty L-20B
