Have always been told that my 5th g-grandfather Johannes Friedrich Sanger came from Palatines, Germany to Dauphin Co, Pa in about 1745. Recently, a cousin told me that he had always been told that Johannes was from Holland and could not leave for America from Holland and had to travel to Germany to leave. He said our family was Dutch while I was assuming they were German. Does any of this make sense to anyone and are there any suggestions how I might research this in Holland and Germany. Thank you for any help. Fran Hill
