Message text written by INTERNET:PALEBANO-L@rootsweb.com > Hi Cocalico is and was a township, don't think it was ever a town. Heidelberg is and was a township, it was also the earlier name of the present Schaefferstown. All of these area's are close by each other. Cocalico is in Lancaster Co. Heidelberg and Schaefferstown are Lebanon Co. Also a Heidelberg Township in Berks Co., Hope this helps. Sandy < Sandi, thank you so much for your help! I wasn't sure if Cocalico was a villiage or twp. So I guess that where in Cocalico an ancestor was would determine his distance from Schaefferstown. Thanks again, Karen
