Mark, My COPELAND line in PA. has been the hardest to trace; but basically I think I have seen a least two major threads [after arriving their on American soil, that is] of COPELAND: One originating in New England, who were very prolific and spread out pretty much all over the New England states; Another who landed in VA., also very prolific and spread out all over the southern states. Then you have a line like myself who settled in eastern PA., then moved to western PA. and possibly to Ohio, Kansas, Missouri and then to Iowa, Illinois, etc. Thia latter group are not very well documented, nor are they necessarily from the same stock. However our New England and Southern brethern are better accounted for and should be easy to confirm their lineage. Just do a search for 'Copeland' on a search URL or go to the Roots or Ancestry pages and/or the LDS web pages. Prior to the expansion of the Web, there were books galore on Copelands --- most of which can be found at the New England Historical and Genealogical Society; the Library of Congress; the NYC Public Library and/or at the LDS Library in Salt Lake. Here are a few of those titles: BOOKS BY & ABOUT COPELANDs: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hamer, Dean & Copeland, Peter: Living With Our Genes ; trade paperback vg Science 103274   "The Copeland/Coplen and Allied Families Immigrants to Virginia" by Herman L.
