Washington, DC  20549

Gentlemen:

The Conestoga Family of Funds (the "Company") is a company
 organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
 with its principal place of business in Wayne, Pennsylvania.  The
 Company is about to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2
 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, for the
 purpose of making definite the number of units of beneficial interest
 ("Shares") which it has registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
 as amended, and which it sold during its fiscal year ended October
 31, 1995.

As counsel, I have participated in various business and other matters
 relating to the Company.  I have examined copies, either certified or
 otherwise proved to be genuine, of its Agreement and Declaration of
 Trust, and Code of Regulations, as now in effect, the minutes of meetings of 
its Trustees and other documents relating to the Company's organization and
 operation, and generally am familiar with its business affairs.  During
 its fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, the Company sold 2,517,269,837
 Shares (including Dividend Reinvestment plan shares), at an aggregate
 sales price of $3,310,610,269 and redeemed 2,234,380,764 Shares
 having an aggregate redemption price of $2,386,835,081.  Based 
upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

1.	The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
 Shares, including those Shares now issued and outstanding. Under
 Massachusetts law, such Shares which were issued and subsequently
 were redeemed by the Company may be resold.

2.	The 2,517,269,837 Shares(including Dividend Reinvestment
 plan shares), sold during the Company's fiscal year ended January 31, 1995,
 the registration of which will be made definite by the filing of a Rule 24f-2
 Notice, were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  I express no
 legal opinion with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,
 the Investment Company Act of 1940 or applicable state securities laws
 in connection with the sale of such Shares.



The Company is an entity of the type commonly known as a
 "Massachusetts business trust".  Under Massachusetts law,
 shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held personally
 liable for the obligations of the Company.  The Declaration of Trust
 states that creditors of, contractors with and claimants against the
 Company shall look only to the assets of the Company for payment.  It also 
requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each contract or
 instrument made or issued by the officers or the Trustees of the Company
 on behalf of the Company.  The Declaration of Trust further provides:
  (I) for indemnification out of Company assets for all loss and expense
 of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the
 Company by virtue of ownership of Shares of the Company; and (ii) for the
 Company to assume the defense of any claim against the shareholder for
 any act or obligation of the Company.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder
 incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited
 to circumstances in which the Company would be unable to meet its
 obligations.

I hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2 Notice
 which the Company  is about to file with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,
