From German Girls Genealogy (Teresa Steinkamp McMillin & Debra A. Hoffman):
Pennsylvania Germans began migrating west with significant numbers moving into the Shenandoah Valley after 1725. Germans in the Valley also came from New Jersey and New York.[1] Some settled initially in Western Maryland and then later made the trip into the Valley and possibly further south and west.
Effectively researching in any jurisdiction requires that you locate appropriate resources. When researching Germans in the Shenandoah Valley, the bibliography of publications by Shenandoah History Publishers is good to know about and access!
