Sounds like a lot of us are trying to find the same answer. {{grin}} That's
exactly what I'm trying to do on the Hoffman surname. I'm just not sure how
to look in all of the counties that are suggested. Lancaster & York Co. PA
also Berk Co.and Buck Co. SW into Shenandoah Valley of VA and then into some
of the western frederick Co. towns that later became part of Washington Co.
and Allegany Co. or over the Potomac in Ludoun. Frederick Co. VA (Winchester
area). that's a lot of counties to cover. I wish I could pick up and go to
each county and take maybe 3 months. Wouldn't that be great.
