Benjamin Franklin said Philadelphia was "one third English, one third
Scottish, and one third German." Many of the immigrants who landed in
Philadelphia fanned out into the countryside via the "Philadelphia
Road". We have opened a new list with the purpose of discovering the
results of the Palatine/Scots mix along the Road which led from
Philadephia down the Shenandoah Valley to South Carolina.
"THE-ROAD. A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest
in the Scottish/Palatine (German) ethnic mix along the
traditional "Philadelphia Road" in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina, and South Carolina. You must be a subscriber to post to
the list. To subscribe send the word "subscribe" (without the
quotes) as the only text in the body of a message to
the-road-l-request(a)rootsweb.com (mail mode) or
the-road-d-request(a)rootsweb.com (digest mode)."
I am a Palatine/Scot, and am interested in how this emigration pattern
developed. If you have an interest in this subject, please join us.
A new website is under construction at

Relevant contributions will be welcomed.
