Hello;

2 questions I hope someone can help me with:

1. I have an ancestor that is buried in the St. Michael's cemetery on Bickel
Church Road near New Baltimore. Does anyone know what denomination the
church was around 1820? In walking the cemetery I saw several German
language headstones and my ancestor was Pennsylvania German (Henry Egolf).

2. Does anyone know what the draw to this area of Fairfield County was
around 1820? Was there a large German population? Was it a land grant area?
Just trying to figure out way he would move from Montgomery Co., PA with
his whole family in 1819 at 62 years of age with no other brothers or
sisters. What was the draw to that area. Thanks for any help!!
