Hello, Georges -
My g-g-g-grandfather was David Leedy, born about 1780, at York, PA, and died at Letterkenny Township, Central Pennsylvania, prior to 1850.His granddaughter, Elizaberth Leidy Stauffer, was my father's grandmother.I have been told that David's father was George Leedy, son Of Jacob, son of John Leedy (or Hans Ludi) who was born in Bern and came here in the middle 1700's.Jacob was John Leedy's first son, and was probably born in Bern, too, but after that they were born in PA.
There seem to have been a lot of changes in the spelling of the name. (Ludi, Lidi, Leedu, Leidy, etc.)If you think we are from the same family, I would be happy to give you info descending from David Leedy, and I would love to know what you have going back to the 1400s.
Are you still in Switzerland?
Sincerely,
Eileen Cusimano
