In the recent exchanges about Penna. Dutch studies there was a statement
which concerned me. The writer stated "an estimated 50,000 people left the
Palatinate region ............ on their way to the USA .... namely Lancaster
Co., PA in the 18th century. As a Pennsylvania Dutchman who lives in
Lancaster Co., but born in Montgomery Co., I must say that some of the 50,000
came to Lancaster Co., but most went to other counties in SE and central
Pennsylvania. I know that most readers understand this, but I was concerned
that some people might be mislead.
