Well My realatives could have stayed at home for that. One of My Aunts has done research but has not come up with a reason whey My Relataives left their Home.
Also as stated about the Irish immigration; plenty of Catholic Irish arrived Here and in the State I was born in PA there was plenty of German Catholics.
When Quaker William Penn Sold large tracts of Land in PA to Gaman Immigrants so many of the came over He worried it was going to turn into a seperate German Speaking Country. A lot of Germans are also Catholic.
