Kathy, I'm just starting to do research on my See/Zee family in PA prior to coming to South Branch Valley in the 1740s. Sees were neighbors of the Parson family on the South Branch, and I also find the Lorentz name in Berks Co PA as well, I'm wondering if these were all part of a group who came together to SBV. Can you tell me anything about Lorentz or Parsons prior to coming to South Branch?

Sara, There were also Lorentz's in Frederick Co MD. Many families came to Hampshre/Hardy etc from there.
