Description

Colonial Pennsylvania was a favored destination for many pioneers seeking a better life. German immigrants were especially attracted to the rich farmland and the promise of freedom. Two brothers, Peter and Johannes Gehr, arrived here separately around the time Lancaster County was being organized. They were the grandsons of Felden Valentin Gehr, of Seckenheim, Germany, and were among the earliest settlers in northern Lancaster County.  Both made this rich farmland their home, living within four miles of each other. However, their lives took very different paths.

The Gehr Family of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is first a genealogy, and second, a story spanning over ten generations and two continents.
