Hello World;

I am beginning my family history and am looking for information here on
the off hand chance someone can help.

I am looking for any info on a Johann Philipp Von Nida he emigrated to PA from Germany. He was supposed to have immigrated with four brothers and settled in PA, he and another brother stayed in PA, while the other three moved to bordering states near Cincinatti, OH.
His family is supposed to still today cultivate the Pfalz wine vineyards. Many family members are part of the nobility, and own large estates.

I realize I should not believe everything in family history but my great uncle researched this however I only have a copy of the line down to me
from Johanns sons.
Any help or even info on the vineyards would be appreciated
Thank you in advance
Chris Heffner

Chris,
I realize this is loooong shot based on the date of the post. But are you still searching for this information?
Ryan Voneida (my last name was Von Nida when my ancestors moved here, but it ahs changed over the years to this current form).
