    Hi Peggy, My Seip's originated from Germany, rumored to sail on the Penn fleet of ships, they were Pennsylvania Dutch, Mennonite. I have not been able to determine where from Germany. My last proven Ancestor was Peter Seip, born March 12 1790, we believe in Northampton county Pa. We believe peter's father immigrated from Germany. Peter died in Butler County, PA (Western, Pa) 1881. He fathered 7 children with his spouse Catharine Bollinger.

    Peggy,
    I am interested in your DINGES genealogy. My family originated in the Frankfort area and the ancestor was a Hessian soldier who settled in Canada where the name was changed to TINKES(S).. I have also collected some data on the DINGES(S) family that settled in Virginia. Jim.

    Do you have a family tree online?

    Hi Peggy, I have not found my Seip's in Germany yet, but Beerfelden could be a possibility, many of the german immigrants in the Northampton/Lehigh area came from around there... What did you find??
