I just wanted to point out there are 3 Drees, Dres, Dress, Dries, lines in the the area of Berks. Schuylkill, co(southern part formally Berks Co.)and Philly Co.)that I know of from my personal research! The first one is Conrad's family, the second I discover while researching Conrad's line(there is a George and Valentine that are in tax records before the area they live in became Schuylkill, Co.) and lastly threr is a Peter Dries that became a Peter Trace in Philly county, Here has a son named Jacob. Oh Also to I found a ships list with a Henrick Trace that came to the Colonies in 1733! I'll keep looking, Doug Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
