I have been reviewing early German settlers in Frederick Co., Md. and find several were of German Reformed faith and reportedly came thru Lancaster Co., Pa. The names that I find include: George Ley/Lay/Loy, Franz Weiss, Peter Hoffman, Frederick Unseldt, Heinrich Roth/Rhodes, Henry Neff, Stephan Ransburg, Conrad Kemp, Jacob Storm/Sturm and Georg Hutzel. The German Reformed churches mentioned were Muddy Creek, Conestoga, Lancaster, Warwick, but I have found no church records listing early members I.e. 1720/1730's. My main thrust is trying to determine if Abraham Miller, Jacob Miller and Isaac Miller of early Frederick Co. were also from one of these Lancaster Co. German Reformed churches. Any clues on how to find these names in early Lancaster Co. would be appreciated. Art Miller, Louisville

I would try the library of the Lancaster Theological Seminary which houses the Evangelical & Reformed Historical Society: http://www.erhs.info/Home.html Click on the "Resources" tab & then click on the "collection of church records". If you click on the "Name" column you can sort the records by county. This will give you a good idea of what records still exist. Although the records are not available digitally on the internet, you can either visit the library in person, or write for further information. They have originals of many of these records.
