Miller/March/Minneman/Lehman/Robinson/Benner/Bush/Herman/Rees/Singer/Grusenmeyer/Faber/Taber Did your family travel with these families. Now, about why they traveled? More/better land; new horizons; death of the patriarch in the family, which often meant that the family farm was inherited by the eldest brother and the rest took their inheritances and went to find their own space; other relatives/former neighbors beckoned others to follow them to a new location; Philadelphia was an English city, and the Germans liked to keep to themselves pretty much, speaking their own language and following their own customs and religion (also the English distrusted the strange "foreigners" and probably made them know they should leave the area). Sometimes the Germans would travel to a place and establish a German village, and it remained that way for two or three generations. Some still have signs of German founders, in churches, building designs, etc. If you believe your family travel with one of these families listed above please contact me. I believe they came from Pittsburgh, Pa through OH. Charlotte
