The authorities said the man, Jesse D. Wise, 21, had confessed, but they would not comment on a motive. The victims spanned three generations of the same family. The youngest was 5 years old.
Three of them were struck on the head with a blunt metal object, and three others were strangled, the police said in an affidavit.
Mr. Wise was arraigned on six counts of criminal homicide. As a judge recited the charges, Mr. Wise seemed to read along with a listing of the victims.
"When will I get a lawyer?" he asked.
Mr. Wise, who was ordered held without bail, will receive a preliminary hearing on April 20.
The authorities said that Mr. Wise's parents were dead and that he lived with his grandparents in the three-story house in Leola, a small village in Lancaster County's rural Amish country.
Investigators discovered bone fragments, hair and a hammer in two upstairs bedrooms. There also appeared to be blood on the walls and ceilings, the authorities said.
In a guitar case at the home, the police said, they found two 17-inch pieces of metal that appeared to have blood on them. The objects were wrapped at one end with cloth and "had the appearance of a homemade weapon/club, capable of causing death if used as a weapon," the affidavit said.
The dead were identified as Mr. Wise's 64-year-old grandmother, Emily Wise; two relatives believed to be his aunts; two of Emily Wise's grandchildren, ages 5 and 19; and a 17-year-old relative, said Chief John Bowman of the East Lampeter Township police.
