Dear Frank,

I have found a site the utimately connects with OCLC and this then provides a great deal of
locating information on any book in question.

Try <http://search2.abaa.org/abaa/searchform.php3>; and when it comes up with a positive or
negative results, click on the OCLC button and you will find all the libraries in the US that
have this book available ( note, there are 51 libraries that have the book you seek available.)
Give it a try!

I am assuming that this is the book that you are searching for?

The German emigration to America, 1709-1740.
Henry Eyster Jacobs
1898
English Books [124] p. illus. (incl. facsims.) plates, ports. 26 cm.
Lancaster, Pa. [The Society]

Good Luck,

Rudy Dichtl
PS: Let me know how it went and how well it worked for your particular quest.
