George Lorah/Lorrah -April 06, 1845 in Lancaster Co. -January 28, 1916 of Snow Shoe, Centre Co. , Centre Co. who married Nancy Margaret Price March 1855-September 16, 1916 is probably the first Lorah to use the double R in his last name when he moved to Center Co. but certainly his children did. I had corresponded with George's grandson Russel Frannklin LORAH b July 23, 1921 Freemansburg, Northampton Co., PA before his death in Desert Hot Springs, Riverside Co. CA January 28, 1998. He told me he was the only one who didn't use the double RR. Parts of this family claim that when they moved to Freemansburg PA to works at Bethlehem Steel they were written on factory records as LoRRah. Census records show the RR was used prior to this-as well as being spelled Larah.
thank you
