Limited interest to those who have Penna-German ancestry.
A book for people with German ancestry interested in genealogy. Transcribed from original records in Germany. Although I love this book most others would find it of little interest. It contains the names of a few hundred 18th Century immigrants from three or four selected areas ofGermany to primarily Philadelphia, Pa. I suggest you look at the index in alibrary first to discover if an ancestor is listed. Though there are partsof the book with general genealogical information regarding the three areascovered, most is applicable to the individual immigrants. If you, like me,have an ancestor listed, the information on the other immigrants becomesfascinating as well since it is an eye into their lives before they came toAmerica. The nice thing is, since it's in English you don't have to learnold German to read it. Besides an index to the immigrants there's one forthe ships many of them sailed on to America as well. ...

Great genealogical resource
This is a very valuable resource for those of us who have roots in Somerset and Fayette Counties.Though I didn't find any of my ancestors mentioned, I did get a good sense of how and when the area was settled and how the early inhabitants dealt with the adversity of frontier life.This would be particularly valuable for those researching their Swiss-German ancestry as there is ample documentation on many families of the area going back to the 18th century. ...
