Yes, my mother's family is from Allentown, or rather, that's where most of them ended up, after emigrating from Italy around the turn of the last century. They passed through Ellis Island, and settled in Staten Island and Lodi, and then came to the Lehigh Valley. The men got jobs in steel mills, and the women got jobs in the silk mills. I've got cousins all over the place around here.
Dad's family is from Northumberland and Sunbury, but they've been here a lot longer, since just after the end of the French and Indian War. Farmers from Germany.
