I have read with interest the recent postings by Vanessa and Diane. Especially the part regarding the Landis family coming from Switzerland and the two different churches. I wish I could find the parentage of my g,g,grandfather David Landis b. 1832 so I could enjoy this rich heritage. For those that may be interested, there are two very nice books on," The Germans of Pennsylvania" and "The German Churches in Pennsylvania", by a Dr. Charles Glatfelter who was a History professor at one of the Pa. Universities. He started the Adams Co. Historical Society and is usually there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I purchased my books while doing research in Gettysburg. I really learned quite a bit about my German heritage and he particularly deals with how the German churches evolved up into the present time. If anyone is interest, the books can be purchased at PHA, Oswald Tower, University Park, Pa. 16802. The book says send $4.00 plus tax. I am not sure what the cost would be now. I paid $5.95 at the Historical Society at Gettysburg. There are approx. 14 other titles re ethnic contributions and etc. in Pennsylvania.. Hopefully, someday, I will find a connection with someone. My David m. a woman named Sarah who was born 1841 and had a daughter named Ida Mae who married William Barringer who were my g,grandparents. Ida and William lived in Washington Co., Pa.
