I'm related to the Peter Strein, who I think is a cousin of Johann Georg Strein. He also appears in York County in the early 1770's. There is a lot of interaction between these two families. I'm assuming you've found the OCD records already. It looks like you've looked through the records at the York Historical Society. I've actually been doing research on George Strein recently to understand the relationship and hopefully learn more about Peter's family. I'm trying to figure out how exactly he is related to Peter. I believe George's wife name was Elizabeth Zellers. There is a George Strein is referred to in a will of John Zellers in 1774. I found two early deed records in Philadelphia County for George Strein, which ties him to the same one in York County. I'd be interested in sharing information with you and comparing notes.
