A collection of upwards of thirty thousand names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and other immigrants in Pennsylvania
New York City served as the main port of entry on the east coast, but Philadelphia also attracted significant numbers of primarily European immigrants. The city of Philadelphia and the colony of Pennsylvania had been founded as a place of religious tolerance, which made it welcoming to diverse groups such as Lutheran Germans, the anabaptist people who would become the Pennsylvania Dutch, Irish and Italian Catholics, and more. This work attempts to trace the origins of the various peoples who settled in Pennsylvania up until the start of the Revolutionary War. The data compiled in this work is useful for genealogical work and helps illustrate the mixed national composition of colonial American society.
