A well know Myers family from Emmistburg MD, who were related to the Philadelpha Gratz family and did move to both the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia area. They are not Jewish but Catholic with Jewish roots and connected to the highest levels of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia. They are the same Grats family as Gratz PA. Hey, I said a coincidence but there you are. The center of the Catholic Church in the US was Emittsburg MD and the President of Mount St Marys College was named Rev John McCloskey who is not the same person as Cardinal John McCloskey although both attended Mount St Marys in Emmitsburg MD.
