I am a retired middle school math teacher and I have been researching my roots for about the last 18 years. Like most of us, I started asking questions too late after many of the people who could answer them were no longer alive. Now I rely on the internet, local libraries and historical societies to hopefully find the missing pieces. My ancestors are mainly from the counties in southeastern PA (Berks, Bucks, Lehigh, Northampton, and Montgomery) and descend from European immigrants from Germany, Switzerland, and France for the most part.
