Jones books. From what I was told, the Schoharie Valley is near Albany, New York. A group of the Palatines left the area, including my ancestor Johann Leonhardt Riedt/Rieth/Reed, to settle the Tulpehocken Valley in what is now Berks Co. PA. The Tulpehocken Settlement Historical Society (near Stouchsburg, PA) has a large collection of information on the settlers. Good luck, Barbara
