Duez, Cole, Trimbath, Wilkins, ETC moastly in Central Pa
All my ancesters started out in Pennsylvania and most of them stayed. My Belgian ancesters, DUEZ settled in Clearfield County. My English ancesters, the TRIMBATH family started out in Bedford County and as they moved north in Pa. they married into the WILKINS family that had been here since the late 1600's and originally came from Wales. My COLE family were in Huntingdon County and ended up in Clearfield County, Allegheny County, and Washington County. I don't know where they came from yet. I have GIBSON's from Bedford County, JOHNSON's and LYTLEs from Clearfield and Centre counties. I've done a lot of searching in mostly central Pa. at courthouses and historical/genealogical societies. Pa. is a tough state to find information in. And since I'm one of the few that left the state, it's not easy to do the research.

I too am doing PA research as well as in some other states and PA has a lot of info and it's not that bad in comparison to other states and especially some other countries. My searches have been predominantly in Adams, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties, with the occasional foray into Montgomery, Bucks, Chester and York.
