The Scots-Irish seem to have congregated more in Augusta County and south, and the Germans from Rockingham County north. That, of course, is a generalization and you will find some of both settling in the entire region, but looking at the names of the early settlers to these areas would bear out this generalization. Much of the settlement came by way of Pennsylvania down through the &amp;quot;Great Valley&amp;quot;, and so if you are researching a family in Rockingham County and are attempting to find where they came from before settling here, Pennsylvania is a good place to start looking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;**************************************************************************&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I take full credit for any errors you may find in my &amp;quot;tips and tid-bits&amp;quot; section, but please, be kind when you point them out!
