Publication for the interchange of genealogical data and history of ca. 34 immigrants who sailed from Krefeld (Germany) on the ship "Concord", and settled in William Penn's Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1683. In 1687, Germantown was subdivided into four villages: Crefeld (Krefeld), Sommerhausen (now known as Chestnut Hill), Cresheim (Krisheim), and Germantown. Some immigrants were British, Dutch, German, and Welsh. Some were Baptists, Dunkards, Lutherans, Mennonites, Quakers, and others belonged to the Reformed Church. Some also lived in North Carolina and Virginia in the 1600's and 1700's. Focus is mainly on the various immigrants, their ancestors and places of origin, the events causing their immigration, their descendants, and later migrations throughout the United States and Canada. Issues include births, marriages, deaths, court records, deeds, historical sketches, land records, military records, occupations, and other information. Some later moved into Canada, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, and elsewhere.

Also available on microfilm, microfiche, and digital images.
