MiMi, Well, if you want to find out if your family belonged to the PA German Society, you may want to contact them -- they're located in Kutztown, PA (sorry, I don't have a good phone # -- call information). They may archive their membership information. About the witchcraft or pow wow -- though this was not black magic it was still very secret, and people did not necessarily discuss it. It was not information that would be written down in most cases. You'd probably have to go to the community where these family members lived, and try talking to some of the "old-timers." Pow wowing was still alive and well into the 20th century, and some locals may remember. Also, if your family had in their possession a book called "The Long Lost Friend" by Hohman there's a good chance that they were involved, at least superficially, in pow wow.
