Hello Listers I live in California, and I'm taking a roots trip to PA next month. My intention is to try to retrace the route my German ancestors took - first from Philadelphia area to Upper Tulpehocken about 1755- then from there to Westmoreland about 1772. Since they inhabited South Westmoreland and were connected to Ligonier - I'm guessing they arrived via Forbes Road, so Chambersburg to Ligonier is a pretty good bet. But I'm wondering about Strausstown to Chambersburg. Would they have more likely traveled a northern route through Harrisburg and down to Chambersburg - or would they have dropped down through Lancaster, York and Gettysburg to get to Forbes Road? Tom
