Lower Bucks County. My Mom's family was from the City (Port Richmond, Kensington, and East Falls) and moved out to Levittown when she was a child. My dad's family was from New York, but his father worked as a plumber for Levitt, and thus moved down to that area when it was built out. I was born in Langhorne, but my family also lived in Holland for a time before they moved north.

I see. I have a good bit of family in Lower Bucks, including Langhorne and Holland. Mostly out-migrants from Philly's Great Northeast, but I believe one branch came from South Philly in the '50s or '60s (very likely to Levittown).

I still have a lot of family around there. My father has passed away, but his siblings live in Newtown, Bristol, and Morrisville. My mom's sister moved to MontCo (Ardsley) years back. I still have some second cousins who live in Philly proper, but I seldom see them except for weddings and funerals.

0-9 in Eighty-Four, PA
9-18 in Canonsburg
18-20 in Oakdale. (Yes, Oakdale, NOT Oakland!)
20-26 in Moon
27-28 in Hopewell Twp.
29 to current Monaca.

As you can see, I continue to move further north and west. I guess the next place for me is New Castle?
