Familie Allwein—Journeys in Time and Place. Part 2—South Central Pennsylvania.
This second part of volume II builds upon the first book of this series, Familie Allwein – An Early History, which dealt with the Allwein family’s emigration from Germany to America and their settlement in colonial Pennsylvania. This volume is part of the two-book set covering Allwein descendants living east of the Allegheny Mountains over the 70-year period from about 1870 through 1940. Part 1 of this second volume focused on those families that settled in southeastern Pennsylvania, particularly in Lebanon, Philadelphia and Berks Counties. Part 2 of this second volume focuses on those families living in Dauphin, Lancaster, Adams, York and Blair Counties in south central Pennsylvania. Additional future volumes will cover Allwein descendants who moved to western Pennsylvania and those who migrated farther west. As in previous books in this series, the author’s careful documentation of all sources and attention to detail make it possible to reproduce his findings and re-examine his conclusions.
