Hi, I just saw this post regarding the Flying Camp. I just found some records at Lancaster Historical Society that mentioned this term and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction for learning more about the Flying Camp. (I don't even know what it is). I don't have my notes here with me but I believe my ancestor's name was Johannes or Michael or Mathias sine they were the given names I was researching. The surname is WOLF/WOLFF/WOOLF/etc. Thanks for any help at all, Elizabeth =================================================== On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 9:07 AM, Donna Heller Zinn <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Fellow Listers: > > The below message was just sent through the PA Adams County list.
