Anna I have read your question as to why our famiilies came to PA, and the beautiful answer that Joan has given you. If you want to gather more information about the movement into PA, there is a wonderful site that I often visit called www.midatlanticarchives.com - on this site, Alan Buckingham has been posting, in its entirety, a book called "The Making of Pennsylvania". It gives an indepth explanation about how Lancaster County and surrounding areas were populated by the many, religious sects and various nationalities of people in the 1700's and up. There are maps of PA offered on this site, as well as several other books. Happy looking! Sheila in WV p.s. Alan does have an index posted for the book, so it is easy to go to the section that you are most interested in. I have been fascinated with The Ephrata Cloister. --------------------------------- Shape Yahoo! in your own image. Join our Network Research Panel today!
