An outstanding historical study with brief biographies and names&nbsp;of extended family members remaining in Ireland,&nbsp;and which&nbsp;provides a summary of&nbsp;Irish&nbsp;Quaker emigration and migration to the state, is:&nbsp;[http://books.google.com/books?id=7ZedLPs2fj0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Immigration+of+Irish+Quakers+to+Pennsylvania,+1682-1750&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false ''Immigration of Irish Quakers to&nbsp;Pennsylvania, 1682-1750'' ].

Many people came to Pennsylvania and the other colonies as indentured servants. For an excellent discussion of "unfree labor," see Sharon V. Salinger, ''To Serve Well and Faithfully: Labor and Indentured Servants in Pennsylvania, 1682-1800'' (New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 1987; Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=604594&disp=%22To+serve+well+and+faithfully%22%20%20&columns=*,0,0 974.8 E6ss]). It includes the names of some individuals who were indentured servants. The sources Salinger used can provide examples of the kind of records to search to find out information about these individuals.

In the 1870s Pennsylvania attracted large numbers of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe. These included Slavs, Poles, Italians, Jews, Russians, and Greeks. During the 19th and especially the 20th centuries, blacks from the southern states also moved to Pennsylvania in large numbers.

For an account of some of these groups see John E.
