Hi, Can anyone who is descended from the Switzer Irish Palatines tell me if Matheis Switzer who came to America, Phila., Pa. in 1727 and settled in Chester co.,Coventry township, Pennsylvania is related to the IP Switzer's? They were leaders in the Church of the Brethern. They actually came from Schwitz, Switzerland originally. Because of their religious beliefs they traveled to other more friendly countries prior to their arrival in America. I am just wondering if they perhaps were at one time in Ireland along with the IP Switzer families. Thank You Much, Pat S. Uffenorde
