Happy New Year from the Yoder Newsletter!
1996 has been a wonderful year for the Yoder Newsletter! Here
are some of our
Top Items:
1. A tremendousl Yoder National Reunion was hosted by the Oley
Valley Yoders.
President Richard B. Yoder and his committee did a great job organizing,
and our
premier Oley Researcher Richard H. Yoder of Bechtelsville prepared
a terrific
bus tour and script.
2. Thanks to our Webmaster Donald Kauffman, The Yoder Archives
are now
"On the Web" with a beautiful homepage with evolving
capabilities
3. This Yoder Listserver has "finally" been launched...
after talking about it
for years.
(thanks to our list administrator "genseng").
4. Notes by 19th century North Carolina Yoder Historian George
M. Yoder: prove
that Jacob Yoders of SW Pa was the son of Melchior; establish
the ancestry of
Yoder historian Charles T. Yoder and (probably) of George Yoder
of Venango
County. (see the April YNL).
5. Found the PA connection of Civil War veteran Charles W.
Yoder of Illinois;
Connected a number of Alsatian immigrants to their French origins
(see YNL 28);
and more!
For 1997, here's some of what's in the works:
1. New Year update of Yoder Archival Data- probably by end
of January. Will
include files updates AND new data, such as:
- Extensive translation of Karl Joder Swiss Joder notes- Complements
of
the
liguistic and typing talents of Fred Haines (Thanks Fred!).
- 1860 and 1880 PA Yoder census data.
- Summary of the Alsatian Yoder families from Huckel research.
- Oley Yoder History by Bertolet (typed thanks to Marli Yoder)
- Additional YNL back issues (scanned and retyped with the help
of
David Yoder and Donald Kauffman).
2. Upcoming Yoder Newsletter Features....
- The George M. Yoder papers and the new connections they make.
- A feature on Jacob Yoder who married Barbara Rupp, with cemetery
photos
by Dick Yoder of Bechtelsville and discussion of his ancestry.
- More!
3. And our Web Page Features will grow to include:
- Yoder Projects in Process, and how to help these
- Yoder name items (like T-shirts) for sale (updates being gathered
on
items and prices).
Anyway--may 1997 be a Happy and healthy one for you and your loved ones>
Best wishes from the YNL staff

To all Yoders, a very happy and prosperous New Year.
I was wondering if any of you on the list are active Amateur
Radio
Operators. The CallBook lists some 130 amateurs under the name
Yoder.
There are several locations to access current CallBook data.
One of the
easiest is the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR).
Attached below is the current listing.

On This Day in Yoder History:
Jan.14, 1711- Hans Joder (OH), a progenitor of the Oley Valley
Yoder line
and believed as the first of our name in the New World, purchased
land in
Coventry Township, Chester County, Pa...somewhere opposite the
presentday
city of Pottstown. (see YNL5).
On Jan.14, 1742- The will of Hans and his brother Yost were
both "proved"
in Philadelphia. Apparently the executors of both estates made
a joint

Barbara and Hans Rupp (a

Both Jost Joder and Hans Rupp were Anabaptists (Taufer) and
were among those who left
Steffisburg in the early 1690s. By 1710, Hans Rupp, then of Sigiswil,
is recorded as
leaving for Pennsylvania.
On Jan.9, 1671, Adam Joder married Barbara Ochsenbein...tehse

Good question.. I know we've had examples of the Mennonite
and Amish
Yoder descent intermarrying...and one case which also adds in
one of the
Alsatian lines, but I don't recall anyone on the Oley side who
also has a
Amish Yoder connection....not to say there haven't been. Does
anyone else
know of such an instance?
Going backward, even though the Amish ancestry is only speculative,
I
would feel some confidence that the lines cross at Caspar Joder
who m.
Margret Hennig on July 4, 1596, if not at their son Nicolaus who
married
Anna Trachsel and was the proven progenitor of the Yoders who
came to
the Oley Valley.--Chris

Reply to: ryoder@wcupa.edu
As a result of the summer "96 Johannas and Yost Yoder Family
Trail
Reunion, the Yoder Reunion Association became aware of a 'critical
situation' in regards to the funding of the Pleasantville Union
(Yoder
Family) Cemetery. The reunion activities generated a profit. These
funds
were donated to the Cemetery account. Unfortunately, the funding
for the
long-range maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery has been depleted
over the
years. The cemetery facility requires continuos maintenance, lawn
care and
general preservation. Many of the historical grave sites are in
need of
repair and restoration. The cemetery entrance is in need of reconstruction
and/or replacement. All funds are held in trust by the CoreStates
Bank of
Reading.
How to raise the necessary funds - is the question! Over the past
year,
a committee of interested Yoders and Yoder relatives have been
meeting and
brainstorming, seeking resolutions of this dilemma. Both immediate
and
long-range funding is necessary to resolve this predicament. DO
YOU have any
ideas? HAVE YOU, the Yoder Newsletter subscribers, had any experiences
with this type of issue/circumstance? HELP US with this meaningful
problem.
Please SHARE WITH US your ideas and make suggestions/proposals
that the
committee can use to increase the funding and enhance the current
appropriations.
Please send your suggestions to : Yoder Reunion Association, 415
State Street, Pottstown, Pa. 19464, or e-mail to : ryoder@wcupa.edu

Subject: YODER TO ALBERTA - WHY??
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 14:07:35 -0700
Does anyone know about the history of the Western Amish Mennonite
Conference (a large district including all the western Amish Mennonite
churches, from the Mississippi River west, and some congregations
in
Illinois) during the years 1890 - 1915? Are there conference minutes
or
reports in an archives somewhere? Is there documentation of the
Alberta
migration, from the point of view of those who did not move? Please
consider the following background information to these questions.
In the spring of 1912 Levi D Yoder (YR233746) moved with most
of his
family, from Wellman, Iowa to Tofield, Alberta, Canada. They were
part of a
larger movement of families, mainly from Nebraska, but also from
Iowa, and
Illinois, members of the "Western Amish Mennonite Conference",
including
family names: Bender, Sutter, Stauffer, Roth, Riel, Maurer, Stalter,
Schwartzendruber, Kauffman, Lauber, Brenneman, Stutzman. These
people
became charter members of the "Salem Amish Mennonite Church",
a member
congregation of the Western Amish Mennonite Conference. Due to
remoteness
from the main body of the conference, and similarity of faith
with local
Mennonites, this congregation affiliated with the Alberta-Saskatchewan
Mennonite Conference in 1915. (now known as the Northwest Mennonite
Conference)
We know that economics was an important reason why these people
moved. "You
can buy enough land so that each of your sons can have his own
farm", was
the promise of the land-agents who worked the north-central States.
There was some dissatisfaction with the church. It has been
suggested that
the approach to missions and outreach was a point of contention,
those who
moved wanted a more active missions program.
A current family member has pieced together a "THEORY"
from bits and pieces
of conversation with several old-timers which says that there
was a strong
difference of opinion over the way a preacher/bishop was selected.
Nicholas
E. Roth, who became the Bishop of the new congregation in Alberta,
may have
been the first preacher in the Western Amish Mennonite Conference
to be
"appointed" rather than selected by "lot".
The theory is that those who
moved to Alberta were those who approved of this "selection"
method, and
that this issue may have been the "real" difference
with the church that
resulted in the move.
I would like to prove, or disprove this theory. Any help that
anyone can
give will be greatly appreciated. I welcome dialog on this topic,
or any
related topic.

Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother, For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse, Although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle, Though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother.
Father's wife then had a son, Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson, For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother And it makes me very blue.
Because, although she is my wife, She's my grandmother too.
If my wife is my grandmother, Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

>From the "Chronik der Familie Joder/Jotter"
Jost Joder Imprisoned in Bern on March 21st
(not clear which year)
" The Anabaptists provoked the anger of the authorities
chiefly on two grounds: they wished to render obedience to
the regime only insofar as their consciences permitted, and
further, they refused to bear arms or serve the fatherland.
The latter point clearly did not suit the Bern Free Court,
since every means was used to impede the spread of the
Anabaptist sect. Although it was a well known fact that it
was precisely these people who were by far the most pious
and pure of the inhabitants, the laws dedicated to stamping
them out were ever more severe. Still, we frequently
encounter examples of noble tolerance from officials and
clergy.
"To the credit of many religious leaders and officials
of the
time, it can be said that they condemned the campaigns against
the Anabaptists and recognized them as wrong, for all of them
knew exactly what was happening in their communities and that
the
most decent and best families were reckoned among the
Anabaptists. They knew and kept silent - often to their own
disadvantage.
"Our ancestors in Steffisburg were also thoroughly committed
to
the Anabaptists. The brothers Jost and Nicolaus Joder
were married to two cousins, both named Anna
Trachsel. The marriages of both pairs took place on 14 October
1642. The children and grandchildren of both couples were
committed to Anabaptism, as were their spouses.
"Jost Joder was at that time a 'Consistory Judge' [Chorrichter]
and was chairman of the 'Consistory Court' [Chorgericht]. At that
time the Consistory Court was everywhere in Switzerland a church
body which dealt with morals and mores and supervised school and
church attendance. It was divided into the village district
[literally 'third,' in the sense in which we use the word
'quarter' for a part of a city] under Jost Joder, a Langenegg
district under Peter Roth of Farni on the Langenegg [river?],
and
a Homberg district under Hans von Fahrny from Horrenbach in the
Eriz.
"The Bernese provincial governor at the time, Karl Manuel
- mayor
of Thun from 1686 to 1692 - was a declared enemy of the
Anabaptists and precisely in those years when the sect was
stronger in Steffisburg and environs than it had ever been.
Pastors and officials saw but kept silent about the growth of
the
sect; they did nothing to further it but also did nothing against
it.
"The regime in Bern insisted on an accounting of people
named as
members of the Anabaptist community, but the pastors and
officials refused to name names. On 21 March the regime had three
Consistory Judges from Steffisburg, Jost Joder, Peter Roth, and
Hans von Farny, arrested and brought as hostages to Bern, where
they were lodged in the most expensive inn at their own expense
for six months in the expectation that the pressure on their
purses would be the most effective means of loosening their
tongues. Nothing came of it."

Dear Alice,
A good discussion of her was written by Rachel Kreider in YNL
2. I'll attach it to this
reply. The property records in Berks showed land taken by her
sons...but none in her
name subsequent to her supposed arrival in 1742...
There is a widow Barbara in the tax records of Bern Twp, Berks
Co, but she is the widow
of the son of the "widow Barbara" who reputedly led
one of the two 1742 Amish Yoder
families to the American shore. Her husband Christian Yoder (YR12)
died in 1772. Barbara
Yoder appears in Berks County tax records in Bern Twp in 1779,
1780,1781 (the year of
her death).
Hope this helps a bit with your question.
Chris Yoder
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVELATIONS FROM BARBARA SHIRK'S WILL
Rachel Kreider
Identifying the early Amish Yoders in America and relating
them in families has for
years been a very difficult exercise. The repetition of names
and the conflicting data
from early times made the puzzle almost impossible to solve. Descendants
of Christian
Yoder Der Schweisz were good record-keepers, and when one day
I impatiently asked, "Then
why didn't one of them write down who his father was and his uncles
and aunts?", the
answer was "In those days all those who mattered to them
already knew."
As it turns out, someone had listed his siblings. On October
22, 1809, one Christian
Yoder (Butcher Christ) wrote: "now I will write down in what
years my Father's brothers
and sisters were (born)'':
Aunt Barbara Yoder Born in the year 1725
Aunt Mattie Yoder Born in the year 1726
Uncle Christian Yoder Born in the year 1728
Aunt Elizabeth Yoder Born in the year 1729
Uncle John Yoder Born in the year 1732
Father Yost Yoder Born in the year 1734
Aunt Franny Yoder Born in the year 1739
Uncle Jacob Yoder Born in the year 1740
Further along in the account, Jacob C. Yoder, his grandson,
who continued the genealogy
and had descended from two different Yoder lines, said that on
his mother's side he was
descended from Butcher Christian, son of Yost, who was the son
of Strong Jacob. That the
above children belonged to Strong Jacob was thus handed down in
print from this source,
an others, for many years.
Research in the Lancaster Courthouse, however, showed that
there was something not right
about this. Strong Jacob did have the same names for his children
but the dates did not
fit. He himself had to be of the same generation as those children.
Surely Butcher
Christ knew who his grandfather was, but the information from
his grandson, who was that
much further removed and had a mix of Yoder blood on both sides
of the house, was hardly
that reliable. By 1970 Dr. Hugh Gingerich of Washington, D. C.,
had turned sustained
attention to the Yoder problems and familiarised himself not only
with the individual
Yoders but the Amish families with whom they intermarried. The
task was not easy, for
example, he found two John Yoders both born about 1732 and each
married to an Anna!
As it often happens, the key to the puzzle turned up unexpectedly
while in pursuit of
other interests. Paul V. Hostetler of Connecticut, grandson of
the Hostetler historian
who helped Harvey Hostetler compile the Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler
(the famous
Hostetler book of 1912), was trying to clear up some problems
in connection with his own
roots. He was referred to Annette Burget of the Pennsylvania German
Society. She
responded with a long letter, which confirmed that most of us
had been on the wrong
track also in identifying the immigrant Jacob Hochstetler. When
in the course of their
correspondence she found out that Paul was also researching Hartzlers
and pinpointing
the location of the earliest Amish farms, she sent him a copy
of the will of one Barbara
Shirk, which had a reference in it to a Hertzler. He promptly
and generously shared it
with Dr. Gingerich and received a telephone call from the latter
that first night.
Barbara Yoder, the second wife of John Shirk, had named her brothers
and sisters,
outlining for us one of the first two Amish families in America!
Quoting from the beginning and the end of the will, we find:
"I, Barbara Shirk of
Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, in the State of Pennsylvania
have hereunto set my
hand and seal this seventh day of January in the year one thousand
seven hundred and
ninety." She had made her mark (X) in the presence of Martin
Keller, John Keller, and
John V. Dishony. In Item I she nominated "my beloved brother-in-law
John Hertzler and my
nephew Jacob Jother to be executors" The bequests were made
"to my beloved brothers and
sisters viz, Christian Jother, his heirs, Jacob Jother, Michael
Jother, John Jother, my
sister Magdalene her children, my sisters Anna King and Veronica
Hertzler.., Later in
the will she repeated the names but after "my sister Catherine
Kauffman her children
jointly one share" she added "but their Father Isaac
Kauffman shall have no part nor
claim thereto...."
Coupled with information gleaned elsewhere, Dr. Gingerich could
now construct a list
like this (approximating the dates within several years):
Catherine ca 1720 m. Isaac Kauffman
Christian ca 1722; d 1772 in Berks County; m Barbara (probably
Beiler)
Magdalena ca 1724 m. Christian Fisher
Jacob ca 1726; d. 1790 in Lancaster Co. m. Anna _ (This one fits
to be the real Strong
Jacob)
Anna ca l728; d. in Berks County; m. Samuel Koenig (King)
Michael ca 1730; d. 1799 in Mifflin Co
John ca l 732; d. 1804 in Berks County; m. Anna
Barbara ca 1734; d. 1790 in Lancaster Co; second w/o John Shirk
Veronica ca 1736; d. 1806 in Mifflin C,m. John Hertzler
The mother of these children, according to persistent tradition,
was the famous "Widow
Barbara". To this day there has not been found any satisfactory
documentation for this,
nor has it been disproved. There are nine children in the family,
but not eight of them
sons, as one story has it. We are inclined to believe that this
is indeed the family of
Widow Barbara and that the father therefore died at sea. There
has been speculation
about his name, some even published as fact, but more evidence
is needed. From a study
of land transfers we believe that the father of the other family
was Christian. A Bible
record gives a death date for him of November, l775, the autumn
before Christian Der
Schweiz, now believed to be his son, came over the Alleghenies
to Somerset County.
Finding this will was indeed a break through. Dr. Gingerich
could now account for all
the Amish Yoder males in the first three generations and could
make intelligent
speculations on the unnamed marriage partners, but there was still
work to do. Were the
heads of the two families brothers? Does it signify anything that
the oldest son in each
family was named Christian? What was the correct separation of
children in the two
John-Anna families? What is the most promising connecting link
with the Anabaptist
Joders of that time in Europe? Much progress has been made, but
the fascinating process
of refining the Yoder family outlines goes on and on. Perhaps
we are looking for
documentation that no longer even exists.

My parents were Amish, my mother from Hutchinson and my father
from
Kalona Ia. but left the Amish just a few months before I was born.
Though am I am very proud of my heritage, I can't say that I'm
disappointed they left. I'm much more comfortable in front of
a
computer then behind the wheel of a tractor or a plow horse :)
I was born in Hutchinson Ks. (not too far from the town of
Yoder) and
lived there for 12 years. After a couple close calls with tornadoes,
many years of hot summers and cold winters, and a vacation to
the west
coast in `78 convinced my parents that Oregon was truly God's
country.
Three months later the family packed up and moved to the small
Oregon
town of Willamina which is about half way between Salem and the
coast.
I moved to the Portland area in `85 to go to school after which
I got a
job
and never left.
I was glad to read cousin Jacki's roll call and information
about the
origin of the town of Yoder Or. (which isn't very far from here).
I
cannot not count the number of times someone has asked me if I'm
related to the Yoder's in that area and until now I never knew
what
the answer was. Thank you Jacki.

Subject: Happy 4th Of July
I've been busy restoring files and programs on my personal
PC due to a
crash on Wednesday (this didn't effect the archives which are
on a
server in California).
On this Day in Yoder History in 1596 the likely common ancestors
of us
all, Caspar Joder and Margret Henning, were married in Steffisburg.
On July 1st 1863, Samuel B. Yoder was severely wounded at Gettysburg
(see YNL15 page 5).
On July 2, 1864- Moses Yoder (Brother of Congressman S.S. Yoder)
died in
service of the Republic. He is buried in the National Cemetery
in
Chattanooga....where his stone is mis-labeled "Moses YADEN".
Thank goodness the biggest share of workload (new census records)
had
already been uploaded, but I've lost all email addresses, bookmarks,
and
several other working files. If you've sent me data by email,
I'd
appreciate a retransmital using the "cyoder@mail.tds.net"

(rather than compuserve for now). Also, if any one of you has
recently
ordered and received the Yoder Disks...please contact me...I'd
like to
compare file dates and see if any include updates not yet posted
to
the archives.
Happy Day anyway. We are truely blessed that our ancestors
had the good
judgement to come to this wonderful country.

Subject: re July10 note
Rec'd note on July 10 from Chris Yoder Saying Alan Adrianson
looking for
descendants of Moses Yoder, first husband of Rebecca Eash. In
my own
records none of the Moses Yoders married a Rebecca Eash, however
I offer
my Eash information as a possible route to finding your particular
Moses.
Catherine Stutzman (b. 9/25/1793 d. 2/17/1879)
married Daniel Eash (b.9/3/1793 d. 2/17/1879)
children: Tobias, Henry, Susan, Annie, Moses and John
Daniel was the son of Bishop Jacob Eash (1774-1850)
who was married to Susanna Miller (d. 1842)
There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 Yoders in Catherine's
children's generation. It is my experience that every family repeats
Christian/given names over and over and marrying cousins was a
fairly
common practice.
So, for example, Moses could have been a nephew of Catherine's
and still
have married a niece of Daniel's!
I have a feeling this does not shed light. It is my only offering
on
the subject. Good luck.

The A&AMG book lists :
Moses Yoder (YR235446) b.1/28/1856 OH d.6/6/1883 (husband #1)
married Rebecca Eash (ESB22d) b.2/24/1861 IN -d.7/19/1930)
note: Rebecca is not a descendant of the Bishop Jacob Eash
Speaking of the Bishop Jacob Eash (ES1), his tombstone is beleived
to
have been located in Geistown, Cambria CO, PA this spring. I visited
this small graveyard and took photos and videos July 4th weekend
while I
was in the area for a Yoder reunion (of Jonathan [YR234491] &
Lydia
(Custer) Yoder). My dad and I had to piece together some of the
stones.
There are several YODERs here as well.
Here is a listing of all of the tombstones that I could read
(note: I've
added birthdates here for reference; the newer stones usually
listed
specific death date as well as age yymmdd format. The numbers
in
brackets are reference numbers for the A&AMG book):
David Yoder 11/5/1811-2/20/1905 [YR235a]
and his wife Sarah Eash 11/18/1821 - 4/2/1902 [ES123]
Jacob Yoder 4/24/1861-11/1/1883 [YR235a8]
and his wife Mary Orris 2/28/1858-2/25/1881
Barbara Yoder - stone missing lower part where date would be
[perhaps
could be YR235a4]
Anna Eash 11/10/1843-1/3/1884 [ES4d3] wife of Samuel Rose
Other stones have the following inscriptions (I have not yet
identified
these - any help would be appreciated):
CE 1889
IE 1850 (this is the stone believed to be the Bishop Jacob Eash's
(yes it
is IE not JE)
BY 1889
MY 1881
DY 1860
SE 1880
SH 1888

ML 1898
If anyone would like copies of photos or video drop me a note.
I would also like to hear from any Eash/Ashe/Esch/Esh/etc researchers

Subject: 9 Days to St. Joder Day
>From the wall plaques honoring the saint at the St Joder
Chapel. A tiny white chapel
in a picturesque valley , in the Niwald region of Switzerland,
1000 meters above sea
level, located halfway between Stans and Engelberg, with Grafenort,
on the highway
below, the nearest village.
(1) "How King Charles is forgiven his sins by praying
with St. Joder" The saint is
shown kneeling at the altar, more or less facing us. As in all
these pictures, he is
shown with an aureole, or mandorla--not a narrow halo but more
of a gold disc--behind
his head, the kind of symbol often used for Jesus and the saints
as painted by early
artists. The king, toward the left in the picture, kneels behind
St. Joder with hands
outstretched, an attendant kneeling on each side of him but respectfully
behind him.
Charlemagne (Charles the Great) lived from 742 to 814 A.D.
and St. Joder, Bishop
Theodore of Sion in southern Switzerland, lived in the fourth
century. This
immediately illustrates how errors can creep into oral tradition
not substantiated by
written records. As stories were handed down from generation to
generation two other
saints became confused with St. Theodore. Thls later "Carolingen
St. Joder" was
especially popularized by a wandering monk, Ruodpertus, who attributed
the same
accomplishments and qualities to a bishop coming four centuries
later as for the real
St. Theodore. However the character of these saints was so identical
that when of the
true St. Joder was eventually identified, the high esteem felt
by the people did not
need to be altered.
(2) "How King Charles hands the spiritual and secular
emblems (crosier and sword) over
to St. Joder" In this picture the principals are standing,
each with his attendants,
as the emblems are transferred. We might think of Charlemagrle's
ups and downs with
papal power in his day, or perhaps later struggles between church
and state going on
at the time the pictures were painted; but it is very likely that
the artist was
simply making a pious observation treat eve.. so great a monarch
as Charles the Great
would be willing to submit to the representative of the Heavenly
Kingdom, especially
one as outstanding and good as St. Joder.

Subject: Origins of the St,Joder Chapel
St. Joder Day...Next Saturday the 16th!
>From an Article by Rachel Kreider:
------
In 1978 when we too visited the chapel, we found in a window-well
of the little
building an eight-pagebrochure, protected with plastic, entitled:
Die Kapelle St.
Joder muss restauriert werden. Dated September 1970. It was a
supplement to the
Nidwainer Volksblatt and it was apparently a publication to generate
enthusiasm for
one more attempt to restore the chapel, a project that seems to
have been spearheaded
by Karl Joder of Germany. A whole series of efforts had preceded
this one. In 1601 an
earthquake twisted the tower and made new foundations necessary.
Further repairs were
made in 1727, in 1799, and 1877. In 1963 a heavy southwest wind
again blew down the
tower. Now in this latest appeal, because the local population
could not finance the
refurbishing, it was hoped that a wider circle of friends and
patrons could
raise enough money so that work could begin by 1972.
>From this brochure we pass on to you some bits of information
you might like to knowbefore you go up
the mountain to this romantic spot. This community of Altzellen
takes
in about fifty farmsteads, with a population of approximately
450, who are still
devoutly Roman Catholic although they have not been organized
into a particular
parish. The earliest document extant about the region comes from
1267. Even by then it
had been settled for a long time. However, in reading through
the names of the
earliest inhabitants known to have cleared the forest and made
the fields, we cannot
find the name of Joder or any name we know associated with it
(with the conceivable
exception of Baumgartner).
Before this date there were Joders across the mountains in
the Canton of Bern, but so
far we have found no evidence that Altzellen was ever considered
a Joder "heimat". One
of Karl Joder's maps shows a Joder farmstead that might have been
within twenty miles.
An anonymous writer at the end of the brochure makes an interesting
and plausible
speculation. There is general agreement that that the chapel was
built in 1482, and he
notes that on December 22, 1481, a special meeting of the Diet
was held in Stans. not
far away:
"After the Confederates had thoughly conquered Duke Karl
the Brave, they returned as
great victors to their homes, but after the victory over the enemy
they began to
quarrel about the division of the booty and the claim of the tribes
that had joined in
the fight (Freiburg and Solothurn). The more impossible a peaceful
solution seemed,
the more both sides put this tangled ball before Brother Klaus..."(a
monk "on the
border" of the area). There were those who believe that by
the time of the Diet
meeting, drafts of a contract had already been made up, but because
of their common
trust in Brother Klaus, he was able to bring about the signing
of the document to the
satisfaction of all concerned--no mean feat. "Bells were
rung everywhere".
"The mayor and the aldermen from Solothurn wrote to him:
'We have been informed that
you through the grace of the Almighty God and His dear Mother
have created peace,
quiet, and union in the whole confederacy through your good advice
and instruction."
The writer continues: "Wouldn't you expect that somewhere
the Confederates would have
put up a memorial to remember this day...to the peace that had
come out of gratitude
that they had been saved from a civil war...?" Elsewhere
he referred to a tradition
that every evening a strip of light would appear on this height
"under the
Eggiligrat", which was the deciding factor in locating the
chapel at that place. Thus
in November of 1482 the new chapel was dedicated by the Bishop
of Constanz to "St.
Joder and the God Mother", and a decision was made by the
mountain population to hold
a memorial annually.
Brother Klaus was among the most noted of the benefactors.
A mass robe he gave is
still preserved in the church in nearby Wolfenschiessen. Various
relatives of families
in Alzellen contributed, foremost among them the Flue family of
Saxony, with whom the
mother of Brother Klaus seems to have had connections. Their patron
saint back in
Saxony was St. Theodulus (St. Joder), a logical choice therefore
for the patron
of the new chapel. In conclusion there is a quotation from the
treatise on Brother
Klaus by Robert Durrer:
"In Nidwalden and beyond, worship of the saint had been
unknown so that the influence
of the Saxons in the face of such genealogical relations must
be almost certain."
We thus have better explanations about the origin of the chapel
that the speculations
and fun guesses made by our earlier American visitors. The chapel
did not come about
because of any sacrificial grass- roots effort of a local clan
(like Joders:).
Probably from the beginning the symbolism may have meant more
to the upper echelons of
power than to the farmers around it. Support for it probably came
from some places
rather far away and in spasmodic fashion. It did not fall into
periodic neglect
because some clan (like Joders) had turned Protestant and moved
away; the chapel has
always been in Catholic care.
Although local people may not have been able to explain much
about the chapel twenty
years ago, they were willing to put up a sign promptly to tell
the fascinated American
visitors where to find it.

Subject: Yoder Who Married Pattie Epehimer?
I just ran acoss your homepage and the Yoder name drew a light.
On my
mother's side of the family we have a Yoder with no information
or first
name. My Yoder married a Pattie Epehimer around 1800 give or take
a few
years. Pattie was the daugther of William Epehimer and Ann Campbell.
If any of this makes a light come on please let me know.
My tree starts two generations before Yoder with the Ball family
of Penn.
For the next seven generations everyone came from North of Philadelphia,
some from Frandford, some from Bucks County, and even some from
Philadelphia itself. As for Patties religion I do not know for
sure. I
guess a basic Protestant.

Subject: St. Joder Day-3 days To Go
The Pope had presented St. Joder a bell to take back with him
for his diocesan center
at Sion, but he had no way to get the huge bell up into the mountains.
He then thought
oof his power to make the Devil do his bidding. Summoning him,
St. Joder proposed to
him that he could have a human soul if he could transport the
bell up to Sion before
daybreak (cockcrow). St. Joder than sat into the bauch of the
Bell, a term many of our
readers can understand and the Devil in eager anticipation swiftly
bore him through
the air. But the might of St. Joder was greater than the cunning
of the Devil. At the
command of the Bishop a rooster crowed before dawn came.
There is a painting at the St. Joder Chapel addressing this
story and also one about
how St. Joder ordered the Bell to ring by itself. It shows St.
Joder in full regalia
at the entrance of a grotto, with sharp hills in the background
and a few buildings
at the upper edges of the picture, is shown confronting a bell
almost as big as he is.
This is probably related to some tale known in the Middle Ages,
but All we know about
it is that the bell was especially associated with St. Theodore
and he was often shown
with one. His chapel tower at Sion may have been among the very
first in Switzerland
to have had a bell. Later on when other bells were cast for churches
or monasteries
requests were often made for a chip from St. Theodore's bell (like
a blessing) that
they could incorporate into their new one. In his dissertation
about offerings to the
saints in the Sion diocese during the Middle Ages Eugen Gruber
pointed out that not
only were there many requests for such chips, but the bell in
Grabunden (Tersnaus
Lugnes), one in Bern (Meikirch), and one in Lucerne (Roth) still
bear the inscription
of St. Joder today.
May You and Your family Celebrate a Happy St. Joder Day together.

is
mentioned twice. Is there anyone in the "Yoder" world

a place it
would be located somewhere along the Rhine River, probably on
the German

Rec'd note on July 10 from Chris Yoder Saying Alan Adrianson
looking for
descendants of Moses Yoder, first husband of Rebecca Eash. In
my own
records none of the Moses Yoders married a Rebecca Eash, however
I offer
my Eash information as a possible route to finding your particular
Moses.
Catherine Stutzman (b. 9/25/1793 d. 2/17/1879)
married Daniel Eash (b.9/3/1793 d. 2/17/1879)
children: Tobias, Henry, Susan, Annie, Moses and John
Daniel was the son of Bishop Jacob Eash (1774-1850)
who was married to Susanna Miller (d. 1842)
There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 Yoders in Catherine's
children's generation. It is my experience that every family repeats
Christian/given names over and over and marrying cousins was a
fairly
common practice.
So, for example, Moses could have been a nephew of Catherine's
and still
have married a niece of Daniel's!
I have a feeling this does not shed light. It is my only offering
on
the subject. Good luck.

married Rebecca Eash (ESB22d) b.2/24/1861 IN -d.7/19/1930)
note: Rebecca is not a descendant of the Bishop Jacob Eash
Speaking of the Bishop Jacob Eash (ES1), his tombstone is beleived
to

stones.
There are several YODERs here as well.

(note: I've
added birthdates here for reference; the newer stones usually
listed
specific death date as well as age yymmdd format. The numbers
in

Jacob Yoder 4/24/1861-11/1/1883 [YR235a8]
and his wife Mary Orris 2/28/1858-2/25/1881
Barbara Yoder - stone missing lower part where date would be
[perhaps
could be YR235a4]
Anna Eash 11/10/1843-1/3/1884 [ES4d3] wife of Samuel Rose
Other stones have the following inscriptions (I have not yet
identified
these - any help would be appreciated):

Subject: Samuel Yodar of Liberty, PA.
I have no knowledge of this individual. However 30 years ago
I spent a
considerable amount of time in Liberty, PA and met a chap by the
name of
Ernie (I think that was his name, but may be wrong) Yoder. If
living he
would be past 100 now. It stands to sense that he would be a son
of
Samuel and Celcia Yodar since Liberty is a very small village
(population
300?). I seem to recall that he and his wife had six children,
none of
whom lived very close by. Research in the county seat should yield
a
will, deeds, death certificate (listing parents?), etc. for Ernie
after
1967. Perhaps that will pick up a thread on his mother (or grandmother?)
for you and lead you to some present day descendants.
If you have any success following this "slim" lead,
I would dearly love
to hear from you. I was quite interested in Ernie because of my
own
Yoder ancestry but the contact with him predated my own serious
research
into Yoders.

Subject: St. Joder Day-3 days To Go
The Pope had presented St. Joder a bell to take back with him
for his diocesan center
at Sion, but he had no way to get the huge bell up into the mountains.
He then thought
oof his power to make the Devil do his bidding. Summoning him,
St. Joder proposed to
him that he could have a human soul if he could transport the
bell up to Sion before
daybreak (cockcrow). St. Joder than sat into the bauch of the
Bell, a term many of our
readers can understand and the Devil in eager anticipation swiftly
bore him through
the air. But the might of St. Joder was greater than the cunning
of the Devil. At the
command of the Bishop a rooster crowed before dawn came.
There is a painting at the St. Joder Chapel addressing this
story and also one about
how St. Joder ordered the Bell to ring by itself. It shows St.
Joder in full regalia
at the entrance of a grotto, with sharp hills in the background
and a few buildings
at the upper edges of the picture, is shown confronting a bell
almost as big as he is.
This is probably related to some tale known in the Middle Ages,
but All we know about
it is that the bell was especially associated with St. Theodore
and he was often shown
with one. His chapel tower at Sion may have been among the very
first in Switzerland
to have had a bell. Later on when other bells were cast for churches
or monasteries
requests were often made for a chip from St. Theodore's bell (like
a blessing) that
they could incorporate into their new one. In his dissertation
about offerings to the
saints in the Sion diocese during the Middle Ages Eugen Gruber
pointed out that not
only were there many requests for such chips, but the bell in
Grabunden (Tersnaus
Lugnes), one in Bern (Meikirch), and one in Lucerne (Roth) still
bear the inscription
of St. Joder today.
May You and Your family Celebrate a Happy St. Joder Day together.

If any of this makes a light come on please let me know.
My tree starts two generations before Yoder with the Ball family

For the next seven generations everyone came from North of Philadelphia,
some from Frandford, some from Bucks County, and even some from

Subject: Origins of the St,Joder Chapel
St. Joder Day...Next Saturday the 16th!
>From an Article by Rachel Kreider:
------
In 1978 when we too visited the chapel, we found in a window-well
of the little
building an eight-pagebrochure, protected with plastic, entitled:
Die Kapelle St.
Joder muss restauriert werden. Dated September 1970. It was a
supplement to the
Nidwainer Volksblatt and it was apparently a publication to generate
enthusiasm for
one more attempt to restore the chapel, a project that seems to
have been spearheaded
by Karl Joder of Germany. A whole series of efforts had preceded
this one. In 1601 an
earthquake twisted the tower and made new foundations necessary.
Further repairs were
made in 1727, in 1799, and 1877. In 1963 a heavy southwest wind
again blew down the
tower. Now in this latest appeal, because the local population
could not finance the
refurbishing, it was hoped that a wider circle of friends and
patrons could
raise enough money so that work could begin by 1972.
>From this brochure we pass on to you some bits of information
you might like to knowbefore you go up
the mountain to this romantic spot. This community of Altzellen
takes
in about fifty farmsteads, with a population of approximately
450, who are still
devoutly Roman Catholic although they have not been organized
into a particular
parish. The earliest document extant about the region comes from
1267. Even by then it
had been settled for a long time. However, in reading through
the names of the
earliest inhabitants known to have cleared the forest and made
the fields, we cannot
find the name of Joder or any name we know associated with it
(with the conceivable
exception of Baumgartner).
Before this date there were Joders across the mountains in
the Canton of Bern, but so
far we have found no evidence that Altzellen was ever considered
a Joder "heimat". One
of Karl Joder's maps shows a Joder farmstead that might have been
within twenty miles.
An anonymous writer at the end of the brochure makes an interesting
and plausible
speculation. There is general agreement that that the chapel was
built in 1482, and he
notes that on December 22, 1481, a special meeting of the Diet
was held in Stans. not
far away:
"After the Confederates had thoughly conquered Duke Karl
the Brave, they returned as
great victors to their homes, but after the victory over the enemy
they began to
quarrel about the division of the booty and the claim of the tribes
that had joined in
the fight (Freiburg and Solothurn). The more impossible a peaceful
solution seemed,
the more both sides put this tangled ball before Brother Klaus..."(a
monk "on the
border" of the area). There were those who believe that by
the time of the Diet
meeting, drafts of a contract had already been made up, but because
of their common
trust in Brother Klaus, he was able to bring about the signing
of the document to the
satisfaction of all concerned--no mean feat. "Bells were
rung everywhere".
"The mayor and the aldermen from Solothurn wrote to him:
'We have been informed that
you through the grace of the Almighty God and His dear Mother
have created peace,
quiet, and union in the whole confederacy through your good advice
and instruction."
The writer continues: "Wouldn't you expect that somewhere
the Confederates would have
put up a memorial to remember this day...to the peace that had
come out of gratitude
that they had been saved from a civil war...?" Elsewhere
he referred to a tradition
that every evening a strip of light would appear on this height
"under the
Eggiligrat", which was the deciding factor in locating the
chapel at that place. Thus
in November of 1482 the new chapel was dedicated by the Bishop
of Constanz to "St.
Joder and the God Mother", and a decision was made by the
mountain population to hold
a memorial annually.
Brother Klaus was among the most noted of the benefactors.
A mass robe he gave is
still preserved in the church in nearby Wolfenschiessen. Various
relatives of families
in Alzellen contributed, foremost among them the Flue family of
Saxony, with whom the
mother of Brother Klaus seems to have had connections. Their patron
saint back in
Saxony was St. Theodulus (St. Joder), a logical choice therefore
for the patron
of the new chapel. In conclusion there is a quotation from the
treatise on Brother
Klaus by Robert Durrer:
"In Nidwalden and beyond, worship of the saint had been
unknown so that the influence
of the Saxons in the face of such genealogical relations must
be almost certain."
We thus have better explanations about the origin of the chapel
that the speculations
and fun guesses made by our earlier American visitors. The chapel
did not come about
because of any sacrificial grass- roots effort of a local clan
(like Joders:).
Probably from the beginning the symbolism may have meant more
to the upper echelons of
power than to the farmers around it. Support for it probably came
from some places
rather far away and in spasmodic fashion. It did not fall into
periodic neglect
because some clan (like Joders) had turned Protestant and moved
away; the chapel has
always been in Catholic care.
Although local people may not have been able to explain much
about the chapel twenty
years ago, they were willing to put up a sign promptly to tell
the fascinated American
visitors where to find it.

Dear Alice,
A good discussion of her was written by Rachel Kreider in YNL
2. I'll attach it to this
reply. The property records in Berks showed land taken by her
sons...but none in her
name subsequent to her supposed arrival in 1742...
There is a widow Barbara in the tax records of Bern Twp, Berks
Co, but she is the widow
of the son of the "widow Barbara" who reputedly led
one of the two 1742 Amish Yoder
families to the American shore. Her husband Christian Yoder (YR12)
died in 1772. Barbara
Yoder appears in Berks County tax records in Bern Twp in 1779,
1780,1781 (the year of
her death).
Hope this helps a bit with your question.
Chris Yoder
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVELATIONS FROM BARBARA SHIRK'S WILL
Rachel Kreider
Identifying the early Amish Yoders in America and relating
them in families has for
years been a very difficult exercise. The repetition of names
and the conflicting data
from early times made the puzzle almost impossible to solve. Descendants
of Christian
Yoder Der Schweisz were good record-keepers, and when one day
I impatiently asked, "Then
why didn't one of them write down who his father was and his uncles
and aunts?", the
answer was "In those days all those who mattered to them
already knew."
As it turns out, someone had listed his siblings. On October
22, 1809, one Christian
Yoder (Butcher Christ) wrote: "now I will write down in what
years my Father's brothers
and sisters were (born)'':
Aunt Barbara Yoder Born in the year 1725
Aunt Mattie Yoder Born in the year 1726
Uncle Christian Yoder Born in the year 1728
Aunt Elizabeth Yoder Born in the year 1729
Uncle John Yoder Born in the year 1732
Father Yost Yoder Born in the year 1734
Aunt Franny Yoder Born in the year 1739
Uncle Jacob Yoder Born in the year 1740
Further along in the account, Jacob C. Yoder, his grandson,
who continued the genealogy
and had descended from two different Yoder lines, said that on
his mother's side he was
descended from Butcher Christian, son of Yost, who was the son
of Strong Jacob. That the
above children belonged to Strong Jacob was thus handed down in
print from this source,
an others, for many years.
Research in the Lancaster Courthouse, however, showed that
there was something not right
about this. Strong Jacob did have the same names for his children
but the dates did not
fit. He himself had to be of the same generation as those children.
Surely Butcher
Christ knew who his grandfather was, but the information from
his grandson, who was that
much further removed and had a mix of Yoder blood on both sides
of the house, was hardly
that reliable. By 1970 Dr. Hugh Gingerich of Washington, D. C.,
had turned sustained
attention to the Yoder problems and familiarised himself not only
with the individual
Yoders but the Amish families with whom they intermarried. The
task was not easy, for
example, he found two John Yoders both born about 1732 and each
married to an Anna!
As it often happens, the key to the puzzle turned up unexpectedly
while in pursuit of
other interests. Paul V. Hostetler of Connecticut, grandson of
the Hostetler historian
who helped Harvey Hostetler compile the Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler
(the famous
Hostetler book of 1912), was trying to clear up some problems
in connection with his own
roots. He was referred to Annette Burget of the Pennsylvania German
Society. She
responded with a long letter, which confirmed that most of us
had been on the wrong
track also in identifying the immigrant Jacob Hochstetler. When
in the course of their
correspondence she found out that Paul was also researching Hartzlers
and pinpointing
the location of the earliest Amish farms, she sent him a copy
of the will of one Barbara
Shirk, which had a reference in it to a Hertzler. He promptly
and generously shared it
with Dr. Gingerich and received a telephone call from the latter
that first night.
Barbara Yoder, the second wife of John Shirk, had named her brothers
and sisters,
outlining for us one of the first two Amish families in America!
Quoting from the beginning and the end of the will, we find:
"I, Barbara Shirk of
Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, in the State of Pennsylvania
have hereunto set my
hand and seal this seventh day of January in the year one thousand
seven hundred and
ninety." She had made her mark (X) in the presence of Martin
Keller, John Keller, and
John V. Dishony. In Item I she nominated "my beloved brother-in-law
John Hertzler and my
nephew Jacob Jother to be executors" The bequests were made
"to my beloved brothers and
sisters viz, Christian Jother, his heirs, Jacob Jother, Michael
Jother, John Jother, my
sister Magdalene her children, my sisters Anna King and Veronica
Hertzler.., Later in
the will she repeated the names but after "my sister Catherine
Kauffman her children
jointly one share" she added "but their Father Isaac
Kauffman shall have no part nor
claim thereto...."
Coupled with information gleaned elsewhere, Dr. Gingerich could
now construct a list
like this (approximating the dates within several years):
Catherine ca 1720 m. Isaac Kauffman
Christian ca 1722; d 1772 in Berks County; m Barbara (probably
Beiler)
Magdalena ca 1724 m. Christian Fisher
Jacob ca 1726; d. 1790 in Lancaster Co. m. Anna _ (This one fits
to be the real Strong
Jacob)
Anna ca l728; d. in Berks County; m. Samuel Koenig (King)
Michael ca 1730; d. 1799 in Mifflin Co
John ca l 732; d. 1804 in Berks County; m. Anna
Barbara ca 1734; d. 1790 in Lancaster Co; second w/o John Shirk
Veronica ca 1736; d. 1806 in Mifflin C,m. John Hertzler
The mother of these children, according to persistent tradition,
was the famous "Widow
Barbara". To this day there has not been found any satisfactory
documentation for this,
nor has it been disproved. There are nine children in the family,
but not eight of them
sons, as one story has it. We are inclined to believe that this
is indeed the family of
Widow Barbara and that the father therefore died at sea. There
has been speculation
about his name, some even published as fact, but more evidence
is needed. From a study
of land transfers we believe that the father of the other family
was Christian. A Bible
record gives a death date for him of November, l775, the autumn
before Christian Der
Schweiz, now believed to be his son, came over the Alleghenies
to Somerset County.
Finding this will was indeed a break through. Dr. Gingerich
could now account for all
the Amish Yoder males in the first three generations and could
make intelligent
speculations on the unnamed marriage partners, but there was still
work to do. Were the
heads of the two families brothers? Does it signify anything that
the oldest son in each
family was named Christian? What was the correct separation of
children in the two
John-Anna families? What is the most promising connecting link
with the Anabaptist
Joders of that time in Europe? Much progress has been made, but
the fascinating process
of refining the Yoder family outlines goes on and on. Perhaps
we are looking for
documentation that no longer even exists.

That is certainly the implication! If we can find the old world
origin point
for Melchior Yoder and his brother, it seems likely that we'll
also have found
the origin point for Conrad.

Hi Pat,
I will butt in here with some info that might help, with a
cc: to Chris so
he knows I sent this.
When you are online looking at the newsletter which has the
info you want,
pull down the FILE menu of your browswer (Netscape or Explorer
probably).
You will see a choice SAVE AS, or maybe just SAVE. Go there, and
when a
dialog box opens choose TEXT. The entire file will save as a text
file onto
your hard drive. Once it finishes, QUIT and get off line and open
the text
file into your word processor. Delete the parts you don't want
and print
only the parts you do want.
Hope this helps,
Don.

Neat idea, Chris!
1. Yost Yoder (YRB)
2. Barbara Yoder (YRB3) 1766?-1850 m. Christian Plank
3. Samuel Plank 1808-1878 m. Juliana Hertzler
4. Samuel W. Plank 1850-1891 m. Elizabeth Wilhelm
5. Kathryn Plank 1882-1939 m. Samuel Winans Carey
6. David Howard Carey 1907-1984 m. Jeanette Allen Walker
7. me - Charles Warren Carey 1937-
Note -- I'm not 100% sure of this lineage. The info my branch
of the family
had showed Christian Plank as being married to a Barbara Yoder
who was the
daughter of a Christian Yoder (YR12?). Perhaps they have that
Christian
confused with his son Christian (YR122) who married a Barbara
HERTZLER
(1776-1846). Our Barbara's birthdate is shown as 1776 in our genealogies,
which may explain some of this confusion. If anybody "out
there" has any
clues, I'd love to hear from you! (I took the info on Barbara
and Christian
Plank above from the HTML files you posted awhile ago.)

My Yoder's have been under the table for a while. Meaning I

Line 1:
1. ??? Yoder (??-1742) (YR1)
2. Ann Yoder (c1720-??) (YR15)
3. Christian Koenig (1761-1838)
4. Christian King (1787-1873)
5. Joseph King (1809-1873)
6. Joseph J King (1846-??)
7. Daniel G King (1869-??)
Daniel is my gg-gandfather
Line 2:
1. ??? Yoder (??-1742) (YR1)
2. Magdalena Yoder (c1724-??) (YR13)
3. Barbara Fisher (??-??)
4. Elizabeth Detweiler (1788-1867)
whos the wife and 2nd cousin of Christian King (Line 1,#4)
Line 3:
1. ??? Yoder (??-1742) (YR1)
2. Christian Yoder (??-1775) (YR2)
3. Yost Yoder (1734-??) (YR26)
4. Veronica (Fronica?) (1763-1814)(YR263)

3. John Hertzler (1757-1836)
4. Catherine Hartzler (1784)
whos the wife and 3rd? cousin of Christian Summers (Line 3,#5)

Karen,
Where did you Kauffman, Zook, King, and Kurtz references come
from? Are
they from an "organization" like the Yoder lines, personal
nomenclature, or
from a specific reference? For instance I'm aware of 'The King
Family
History' by ?? Hertzler? that lists the descendants of your Samuel
King/Koenig (KG). I have almost all of your ealier families in

I even recognize some later names (Liechty) from my own lines.

Scott, I will reply to the message you left to Karen on the Yoder
List.
The references for the different families come from "Amish
and Amish
Mennonite Genealogies" by Hugh F. Gingerich and Rachel W.
Kreider. This
book was published in 1986 by Pequea Publishers, Gordonville PA.
I
bought my copy for $60.00 in 1992 at the Gospel Book Store in
Berlin OH.
It is an extensive book that includes most of the Amish immigrants
to
this country and their descendants that were Amish up to about
1850. It
is probably the best investment that I ever made in a genealogy
book.

And Steven replied:

W. Kreider.
Simple question - is AAMG the "correct" generally
accepted abbreviation
for this work, or do we have to say "Gingerich and Kreider".
On page
xxix-xxxiv of "G&K" can be found a long list of
cited sources with 3 or 4
letter abbrevs. This sets a standard which I find useful when
documenting
my feeble attempts at being a researcher, but they don't specify
what is
the correct short form of their own work.
I suspect AAMG is the best abbreviation to use and is rapidly
becoming a
classic, like DJH and DBH, etc.
A "classic" in the Kauffman line is KCL (sometimes
CFK) for Charles Fahs
Kauffman, "A Genealogy and History of the Kauffman-Coffman
Families in
North America", 1940. There are researchers who have used
this work and
added to the info. in their own works. One of the recent ones
is:
Davis, Richard Warren, "Emigrants, Refugees and Prisoners,
(An Aid to
Mennonite Family Research), Vol 1" 1995 - P.O. Box 50182,
Provo, Utah
84605. And I just got a letter this week from Davis telling me
that Vol
2 is now ready ($50)
One really good book for those whose lines go into Iowa is:
Lind, Katie Yoder, "From Hazelbrush to Cornfields, The First
Hundred
Years of the Amish-Mennonites in Johnson, Washington, and Iowa
Counties,
1846-1946", copyright 1994. Available from the "Menn.
Historical Society
of Iowa" , Kalona, IA 52247. Includes genealogies and stories
of the
Amish and Mennonites who moved into Iowa.
Finally, since I seem to be advertising for people, if you
want a source
of Amish, Amish-Mennonite, and other genealogy books write to
the
following and ask for a catalog:
Masthof Bookstore
Route1, Box 20, Mill Road
Morgantown, PA 19543-9701
Telephone: (610) 286-0258
email: masthof@ptdprolog.net
These are the people that produce the magazine "Mennonite
Family
History". If your lines go back into Mennonite and Amish
families their
catalog will have you drooling. Perhaps if you have someone in
your
family who "has to buy you a Christmas present", and
they have little
money you could suggest they get you one of these catalogs. It
says $3.00
on the cover, but I got mine for free. You will enjoy it, but
be warned,
it'll cost you!! <G>
I would be interested in hearing about other's best sources.
Maybe the
next project for Chris to start is "Top 10 books to own if
doing
genealogy research in Yoder related families". Any takers???

Since the roll call went so well, I'd like to ask where
all our Yoder cousins
Where are you located?
I'm located in Canton, Stark Co, Oh. I was raised near Beach
City. Beach City is on the southwest edge of Stark County.
Within 2 to 4 miles you would be in Holmes, Tuscarawas, or
Wayne County. Holmes Co has or had quite a few Yoder's. (I
was thrilled when I first found Chris' Yoder info!)
Which brings me to sources...
The Yoder, Summers, Deardorff, Kerr lines are the only
ones to live first in Pennsylvania. I've not researched
there because I'm not there. Most of my info in Pa comes
from others.
All my other greats-grands came directly to one of the four
counties mentioned above. So I have been looking at these
counties records on microfilm at the county seats. The
Stark Co library (in Canton) has a great genealogy section.
Nicholas Yoder and John Summers came to Ohio in the early
1800's. I would have to look to see if Christian C and
Christina Y were married here or there. I do remember
Mom relating that Christina moved here in covered wagons
in two weeks. They had hidden gold in apple butter crocks
that sat in the front yard for a couple of weeks.
Cousin Eric was here this summer from Australia and we
looked up the graves of Nicholas Yoder. But that tale
deserves a post of its own...

Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada from Don Kauffman
(dkauffma@planet.eon.net)
We are about 300 miles from the Montana border in "Central
Alberta" - I
often think right on the edge of the world - but the air is pure
and the
water relatively clean so it's not too bad!
My paternal great-grands were part of the "first wave"
of Amish-Mennonite
immigration to America. Kauffmans in 1737, probably, and Yoders
in 1742.
Berks Co. PA, then on to Somerset Co. Skipped on to Holmes Co.
Ohio, over
to Iowa, and in 1912 great-grandfather, Levi Yoder moved his family
to
Tofield, Alberta.
My maternal great-grands were part of the "second wave
of Amish-Mennonite
immigration to America. Stalters in 1857,probably, and Stauffers
in 1866.
The Stauffers would have come sooner, but the American Civil War
was on
and so they waited in Altkirk, Alsace. Actually, they were trapped.
If
they stayed their sons would be drafted into Napoloen's army,
if they
came they would be right in the middle of another war. As soon
as they
could, they sailed to America (they had to "adjust"
the ages of their
oldest sons slightly in order to get past the authorities), settling
in
Illinois, then on to Nebraska when that territory opened up. My
great
grandfather John L. Stauffer was one of the leaders in the movement
from
Nebraska to Tofield, Alberta in 1910.
Sources: AAMG, DJH, DBH, SSK, KCL, etc. - I have about 8 feet
of library
shelves filed with history and family history type books, including
the
Elias Kauffman Family Bible!
And now - the World Wide Web. It has been very interesting
discovering
the resources that are available from the comfort of my own computer
chair. I just wish that the Goshen archives would put their entire
collection of obituaries and other goodies on-line!
ginseng said, "No, don't be brief". But really I
must stop.

Sunnyvale, California. Born in Toledo, Ohio; raised in Ohio,
Illinois
and Massachusetts. Have only been seriously researching since
July,
piggybacking on work done previously by my late mother and father.
Sources are books and family records, plus Yoder Files. Appreciate
flexibility and info of web; am especially grateful for tweaks
and
corrections by newly-found cousins such as Karen Lint.
So where is the reunion going to take place of all these virtual/actual

I'm thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's postings! (Thanks,
again,
Chris!)
In response to Ginseng's Q: I'm located in Salem, Oregon. Not
too far
from the little community of Yoder, Oregon - so named for my
GG-grandfather (Jonathan S. Yoder - YR12a331) who settled there
in
the late 1880s from Dade County, Missouri. He, his wife, and 9
children
traveled in an immigrant train to Oregon and, among other things,
brought
along the parts to a sawmill. The sawmill is still in operation
today,
although it has burned down and been rebuilt several times! Jonathan's
grandsons and g-grandsons operate it. Along with the sawmill,
Yoder,
Oregon can boast of a small general store (Yoder Store), a garage
(Yoder Garage) (not too creative with naming things, were they?!),
and a
church (Smyrna Church). It's a beautiful place, in the fertile
Willamette
Valley of Oregon - about 50 miles directly south of Portland,
Oregon.
Best wishes to all my Yoder cousins out there,

Where am I located?
I'm living near the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in Ogden,
Utah, where I
moved 10 years ago from Maryland. I'm a native of Loogootee, Indiana.
Incidentally, I am Deaf, and I know there are many deaf Yoders
out there....
I'm researching my g-g-grandfather, Jacob Yoder who married
1) Nancy M. Yount
on 14 Feb 1872 2) Barbara Keller 6 Sept 1884 (both in Daviess
Co, IN), and
had the following children: Grover C. Yoder and Mary AngelineYoder
Mattingly
of Martin Co, IN; and Effie Yoder Guess, last known in Illinois.
My maternal g-grandmother, Mary Angeline Yoder b. 16 July 1875
d. 6 april 1952
in Daviess Co, IN, buried St. John's Cemetery, Loogootee, Martin
Co, IN. On
23 Nov 1890 at the age of 15, she was married to 50 yr old John
Hilary
Mattingly b.@1840, d. 3 June 1909, Daviess Co, IN, buried, St.
Peter's
Cemetery, Mongomery Co, IN (no stone). Later married St. Michael's
Catholic
Church, DAviess Co, IN 13 June 1892. John Hilary was the son of
Sylvester
Mattingly and Mary Ellen Smith. (John Hilary married first to
Elizabeth
Bellwood).
Children of John and Mary Angeline: Minnie Agnes b. 1891 m.
Clyde A. Taylor;
Charles Joseph b 1894 m. Maude Fenters; William Stanslaus b. 1897
m. Dorothy?;
Bridget Nancy, b. 11 Aug 1899 Daviess Co, IN, D 4 Dec 1970 DuBois
Co, IN,
buried St. John's Cemetery, Loogootee, Martin Co, IN; married
Harry Joseph
Bowling 2 Dec 1919 (he is still living!) Bridget (Bea) and Harry
had 6
children, including my mother, Dorothy Agnes Bowling Hortie b.
13 Nov 1932.
Daviess County Marriage records show that Jacob m. Nancy Yount;
current Yoder
records list her as Nancy Mount. But the death certificate of
Mary Angeline
Yoder states that her mother's name was Angeline Yount.
Chris and Rachel brainstormed and came up with the possibility
that my g-
grandfather is a "missing" Yoder line:
Jacob b @1852 Holmes Co, OH was the son of Jonathon S. Yoder
(YR23385) res.
1850 in Holmes Co, OH and 1860 in LaGrange Co, IN and Mary Plank
(PK4312) b.
19 Sept 1823 in Holmes Co, OH; d 2 July 1907 (I have a funeral
card for her)
Gypsun, Saline Co, KS at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Susan
(Hans) Peterson.
Jonathon S. Yoder is the son of Solomon Yoder b. 5 Mar 1793
in Somerset Co, PA
and Elizabeth Gindlesperger b. @1795 Somerset Co, PA.
Anyone out there on the same tracks as I am? Any errors, please,
please tell
me!
Many thanks to 'our' wonderful and dedicated historians Chris
Yoder and Rachel

I'm interested in meeting all my cousins and would love to

identify them, and make copies for those interested. I recently
purchased a digital camera and am trying to copy all the photos
I have
borrowed from my cousins so they can be downloaded or scanned
into my
computer. I have also run across a postcard written to my
great-grandfather by someone? concerning his twin brother, Willard.
Most of my closest Yoder cousins live in the New Mexico, Texas

Oklahoma area, near where I was born. I came to Atlanta, Georgia
to
attend school, remarried, and never left.
Good luck to all my cousins, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Dear Cousins,
Since others are sending additional personal info I will re-send
the abov=
e with a few additonal comments. Hans Yoder of Great Swamp which
is in n=
orthern Bucks Co. near Quakertown, PA, was the progenitor of the
Mennonit=
e line. I notice most of the roll call replies are from the Amish-Mennon=
ite lines and I am wondering if there any others out there descending
fro=
m my line. My family migrated westward via eastern Ohio,-- Columbiana,
M=
ahoning county areas where many "old" Mennonites went.
Midway, Leetonia,=
and others were several of the congregations. No. 4 above (YB137)
migra=
ted there as well as one of his brothers and many of their descendants
st=
ill live in that area. Some of their cousins went to the Wadsworth
OH ar=
ea and I suspect most of those were "new" Mennonites,
later known as Gene=
ral Conference Mennonites. The Yothers branch (as reported in
Richard Yot=
hers book) and others remained in PA and descendants are still
living the=
re. I would be interested in learning more about these branches
of the fa=
mily.
My gr.-gr.- grandfather, Henry B. Yoder (YB1378) migrated to
Elkhart Co. =
IN with an abortive detour ( 1854-55) in Clay Co. IN (where his
son Peter=
B. was born) sometime around 1865. There were also cousins from
Ohio wh=
o had come to Indiana, several who had married into the Holdeman
family. =
They settled near Wakarusa, IN not far from where the Holdeman
Mennonite=
church was eventually located. Henry B.'s grandson, D.A. Yoder
(my gran=
dfather) was a Mennonite bishop in norhern Indiana for many years
(a reco=
rd # for the Mennonite church according to John C. Wenger). He
lived to=
age 97 and was ordained at a very young age.
My interests in Yoder genealogy include learning more about
the various b=
ranches of the "Mennonite" line as well as hoping that
sometime it can be=
established how our ancestor links with the other Yoder immigrants.
The =
latest YNL mentioned the possibility that a National Reunion might
be spo=
nsored by the Yothers family of Bucks/Lehigh Co. in 1999. I would
hearti=
ly endorse this idea and hope it comes to pass. This Yoder Roll

been great fun!

Thanks for the follow up Steven.
Often people *believe* that all persons of surname X descend
from person Y.
It's a nice romantic notion, but its realistically impossible
to prove but
only takes one exception to disprove. Besides the claim only makes
sense
if someone in history just made up a brand new surname out of
the blue that
no one else had.
Okay, now back to sifting through the Yoder Roll Call!

Subject: Re: Locations and sources
Dear Yoder cousins:
I am a resident of the "magic kingdom" of Anaheim,
in Orange County,
California. That I live in this area is a direct result of my
grandparents,
Sam Carey and Kathryn Plank, deciding 76 years ago this month
that they
couldn't face yet another winter in Champaign County, Ohio. They
moved here
with their children and now there is a fifth generation of Careys
living in
Southern California.
Grandma was one of many Planks who lived in neighboring Logan
County, Ohio.
Great-grandmother Elizabeth Wilhelm Plank married one David D.
Yoder after
her first husband died and was always referred to by my family
as "Grandma
Yoder". But she's not really my Yoder connection. Great-great-grandfather,
Samuel Plank, came to Logan County from Mifflin County, PA, along
with his
wife Juliana Hertzler and their eleven children some time in the
1840's. His
mother was Barbara Yoder (YRB3?).
There were apparently a lot of Yoders living in Logan County,
Ohio, and may
still be. Two interesting sources of information which I've come
across in
the L.A. County public library are:
History of Logan County, by O. L. Baskin, 1880
and
Logan County, Ohio, 1982, Volume One, A Collection of Historical
Sketches and Family Histories Compiled by Members and Friends
of the
Logan County Genealogical Society, Bellefontaine, Ohio
What little info I have about my Plank and Yoder ancestry is
based on
research of a Mormon cousin of mine who used AAMG, or Gingerich
& Kreider,
as her primary source. Does anybody know where AAMG is currently
available?
This was a great idea, Ginseng. Let's all keep in touch!

Daniel, I have seven Yoder lines, and at least that many Hochstetler
lines. I however do have a Hohsteter line that does not go back
to
Jacob. I tell people that I am 1/4 Amish, as 1/4 of my ancestry
is Amish
through my mother's father Richard Yoder. On my Father's side
of the
family, I am able to trace my descent from DJH9047 Ulrich Hohsteter
who
was a soldier who fought under General Braddock before the Revolutionary
war. I have not been able to find much information about him though.
His
descendants did intermarry with some of Jacob's descendants, so
there is
some speculation that he may be related to Jacob. There were also
a few
other Hochstetler immigrants, but none left the progency that
Jacob did.
We are greatly indebted to Harvey's books for our knowledge of
our
family. However, there are still a few mysteries even about Harvey.
Did
he indeed have children? He lists several children for himself
in the
book, but there is no documentary evidence of him ever having
children.
I have done some census research on him, and the census never
shows any
children.

My Yoder line turned into a Hochstetler line many years ago.
I observe
that many who have multiple Yoder lines sometimes descend from
different
immigrants. In contrast, if one is a Hochstetler (a dozen spellings)
it
all goes back to a single immigrant: Jacob, 1738. One recent baby
born of
parents from the Nappanee, IN area has a family tree that goes

WHERE ARE WE?
We live in sunny Sarasota, Florida and have for 9 years. In
Norfolk,
Virginia prior to that. My wife and I met when I was a teacher
in
Hicksville, Ohio. We have one daughter, Tina. My wife grew up
in the
Mennonite church, but we are now active in the Christian and Missionary
Alliance church. A little side note: after we married, my wife
and I
compared families. My mother was an only child and my father had
one
brother who never had children so I have no first cousins. (zip,
zero,

Is there any one out there also connected to the DelaGrange
family? I am
trying to build info on that side as well.

From: alby6@juno.com (Agnes B Yount)
After seeing multiple lines of Yoder descent, I feel somewhat
"YODERly-challenged". I have only one line of descent,
eight generations
from Conrad Yoder in Carolina:
Conrad Yoder (died April 1790) married Christina Klein (1742-about
1771)
John Yoder, Sr. (1764-1836) married Mary Barbara Reib ( 1763-1842)
John Yoder, Jr. (1795-1870) married Sarah Whitener (Weidner) (1793-1869)
Andrew Yoder (1836-1896) married Catherine Hahn (1838-1885)
Julia Ann Yoder (1858-1912) married (Reuben Propst (1855-1942)
Anna Catharine Propst (1886-1980) married Perry Lafayette Yount
(1883-1966)
Hubert Yount (1906- ) married Lora Morrison (1907-1997)
Ray Yount (me) (1934- ) married Agnes Bell (1937- ).
All the above lived in what is now Catawba County in the North
Carolina
Piedmont until we moved to Western Maryland 35 years ago. We are
in La
Vale, 25 miles east of Grantsville, MD where the Yoder House is
being
built. Hope to see some of you there for the second annual meeting
on
Saturday, November 9.

I was born in Junction City, KS while my father was stationed

and we moved
to North Canton, Stark County,OH. where I grew up. Most of Mother

families lived in North Canton. In fact, many of them still do.
After
college I spent 10 months in Cape Coral, FL teaching 5th grade.
I then moved
back to Ohio. After I, married Larry Thokey, we lived in Streetsboro,
OH.
In 1978, we moved to Trotwood, OH where we now live.
Mother still speaks fondly of her grandfather ( my g-grandfather)
Zachariah
H. Yoder. He was a pastor in the Church of God. She tells about
how his
family moved from place to place as he received a call from various
churches.
My grandmother, Rose Yoder Fisher, was born in Wadsworth, OH.

Marjorie Yoder Mitchell of Wallington, Pa has sent word that
her father Lester Leo Yoder
passed away in Leesburg, Florida on July 21, 1997. He was 96 years
of age. Lester was
born on Sep.13, 1900 and was the son of Enos Yoder (1861-1944)(YB13729)of
East
Palestine,OH and Rose Ann Greiner.
Lester had done extensive research into the Ohio Mennonite
Yoders...in his own words,
written in 1983:
"At the time our children were born and we got baby books
for them in which we had to
fill in names of ancestors, my father, Enos Yoder, could not give
me any information
except that his father and mother had visited relatives in Pennsylvania
when he was
still at home...."
That was the beginning of his efforts...over a period of years
he gathered family data
including information which was subsequently made into a family
descendant tree on a
blueprint stock, by his cousin Leonard A. Yoder. Other cousins,
Harvey and Carl Yoder
sponsored family reunions for many years for descendants of their
grandparents Abraham
and Elizabeth (Nold) Yoder (Abraham b.1819 d. 9/8/1888 Midway,OH-
YB1372).
The work by such folks as Lester has provided the foundation
we are bulding upon
today...we join his family in their sorrow, and rejoice at his
life and his
contributions.

1860, and 1870 US censuses for Indiana to try to identify Nancy
Angeline
Yount's parents? If we could get back several more generations,
I think
we could probably connect her up with one of the Yount immigrants.
Yount
researchers think all spring from the same family in Europe.
The original name was Jundt. Various spellings have appeared
in the US
such as Yundt, Youndt, Yunt, Yont, Jund, Junt, etc., so you need
to check
for alternate spellings. By 1850 though, I think Yount had become
the
most prevalent spelling. The family originated in the Black Forest
region of Baden, Germany in the 14th century. By the early 16th
century,
branches had gone to Switzerland and Alsace.
My branch of the family came from Alsace on the ship Britannia,
Sept 21,
1731. The name was spelled Gunt or Gundt on the ship's list. Hans
George Jundt and sons Jacob, George and John were on the list.
John and
several of the sons of Jacob came to North Carolina in the mid
to late
1700s. The family of John has been well-documented. He did have
a
youngest son, Andrew, who went to Morgan County, Indiana along
with a
nephew, Joseph. He died there prior to 1836. He had a son, Jonathan,
born 1803. Jonathan had sons J. A. and W. R. born 1830 and 1832
respectively. They would have been the right age to have had a
daughter,
Nancy. Morgan County is just southeast of Indianapolis, and about
65
miles north of where your Yount family was.
Another branch of the family was Quaker, which descends from
Andrew, a
son of Hans George Jundt, who came later than the rest of the
family.
Andrew's sons came to North Carolina, about a hundred miles east
of where
their cousins were. They and or their descendants went west to
KY, OH,
and IA. At least one line went to Richmond, IN, near the Ohio
border.
A later immigrant was Rudolph Yount, which also ended up in
NC
(relationship to other Younts not known). His son, William, went
to
Jackson Township in Fountain County, IN in 1839, which is near
the IL
border. He was in the wool and mercantile business as well as
teaching
school. He was elected County Recorder in 1870.
Another branch of early immigrants were four siblings who came
from
Switzerland (without permission to emigrate!). One of these, Hans
Adam,
is said to have ended up in Bedford County, PA. Others were in
MD
(Frederick County) and the Shenandoah Valley of VA. Hans Adam's
son,
George, went to northern KY after the American Revolution and
settled
about half way between Lexington and Louisville. It would not
have been
unusual for his sons to have gone on into Ohio or Indiana.
I hope this will be enough to get you started. Once you identify
Nancy's
parents and, hopefully, grand parents from census records, wills,
estate
settlements, land records, I think we can make some real headway
in
determining which immigrant group she belongs to. Please keep
me
informed.
Happy searching!

************************************************
Comments by Tim Conrad- I believe that Peter Yoder's wife was
Catharina Trout. Anthony's death record confirms this. She was
likely the Catharina, daughter of Balthasar Trout and Eva Moser.
She was married 10 Aug 1783. This was shortly after her father
died, so she is single in the will. Peter had a land dealing with
the
other Trouts and was a Tanner like his father in law, also
according to land records. Also, this was the only Trout family
in the area at the time. OK, Here's info on Peter's kids:
----
Hannah, married John Wolfgang-
1810 census, pg 826, Upper Mahantongo, 00100-00100
1820 census, pg 96, Upper Mahantongo, 100010-30010
1830 census, pg 68, Upper Mahantongo, 0001 001-1120 001
I figure Hannah born circa 1788. Not sure, but I think John is
a Sr.
----
Jeremiah-
1820 census, pg 92, Upper Mahantongo, 210100-00100
1830 census, pg 069, Upper Mahantongo, 2010 01-1200 01
admin in OC 6:382- minors listed in OC 6:40 and 6:275
I figure Jeremiah born maybe 1795.
----
Maria married George Hartlein. 7 Oct 1797 - 19 Sep 1872.
She's buried with him at Jacob's Church, Reed Station, near Paxinos
in Northumberland Co. Some folks think his wife is a Moser/Masser/Mosser,
but I think they're confused by the fact that George Harlein's
parents
were Conrad Hartlein and Elisabeth Moser. The records clearly
show
she's a Yoder, d/o Peter.
George Hartlein:
1830 census, pg 67, Upper Mahantongo, 2000 1-0010 1
1840 census, pg 92, Upper Mahantongo, 1220 01-1000 11

census:
1840 census, pg 94, Upper Mahantongo, 0100 1-2000 01
1850 census, Upper Mahanoy, Benjamin 35, Catharine 47, etc
----
Sarah married David Stein. David's will mentions Hartlein nephew
in
Philadelphia. Sarah 5 Sep 1805-11 Jun 1882, buried Howerter's
(she may be called Salome on the stone, not sure offhand). Census:
1840 census, pg 093, Upper Mahantogo, 0000 01-0000 1
1850 census, Pine Grove Twp, David 39, Sarah 38, etc???

> john@bartol.udel.edu
> John...I think the best answer is given in the YNL 5 article
by
Dr. Don Yoder, the noted historian. Due to the work by Dr. Don,
Hans seems well documented ...his links to Germany by will of
a nephew leaving property to Hans' son Hans Jr in 1771....by the
Speyer and church record showing the departure of his family to
the "island of Pennsylvania"...his recoded widowhood
and
remarriage, etc...
Yost has little documentation, but on this side of the ocean
it has been long identified that Hans and Yost were brothers.
Early family records documented by Bertolett in the
early 1800s spoke to this relationship. This was known long
before any of the European information began to be deciphered.
The fact that their wills were filed together in 1742 supports
this relationship. If born in 1679 and he died in 1742, Yost
would have been in his early 60s...not terribly old.
There is much yet to learn about Yosts family. Bertolett says
he had three sons and one daughter....one of the sons isn't
well established. The approximate births of his children...
1718-for Yost-Hannes; 1720- for Elizabeth, and particularly
1735 for Jacob...do seem a bit late....but Yost was known as
a "frontiersman" and known to have had multiple wives....
it isn't out of line for a hearty and active 50 some year old
to
marry and father children...
The recorded Steffisburg births of children of Hans and Yost's
parents, Adam Joder and Barbli Oschenbein, extend through son
Casper in 1683. They may have left about that time--I can't

Just wondered if I could ask for a break-down on the Amish
lines.
Since there were 23 connections. I know there weren't very many
to my "Strong" Jacob (YR14), but it would be nice to
see the Amish
break-down also. I did notice several YR1**** listed. At least,
I
*think* Jacob was one of the Amish lines. (Esp since WE had the

Yoder Researchers, After seeing Judy's comment on "Pedigree

I thought of an article that I had just seen, and wanted to pass
the
address along. The article is on the Olive Tree Genealogy Page
and is
entitled "How many ancestors do we have?"
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ancnm.htm
In my ancestry, I have a lot of "Collapse" on my Grandfather
Yoder's
side of the family. I tell people that I am 1/4 Amish. On the
other
Branches of my family, I have only a handfull of multiple ancestors.
Which, when you get back 11 to 12 generations, means you are searching
for a lot of surnames. I am adding a list of the surnames in my
ancestry
to my Genealogy page today.

My parents were Amish, my mother from Hutchinson and my father
from
Kalona Ia. but left the Amish just a few months before I was born.
Though am I am very proud of my heritage, I can't say that I'm
disappointed they left. I'm much more comfortable in front of
a
computer then behind the wheel of a tractor or a plow horse :)
I was born in Hutchinson Ks. (not too far from the town of
Yoder) and
lived there for 12 years. After a couple close calls with tornadoes,
many years of hot summers and cold winters, and a vacation to
the west
coast in `78 convinced my parents that Oregon was truly God's
country.
Three months later the family packed up and moved to the small
Oregon
town of Willamina which is about half way between Salem and the
coast.
I moved to the Portland area in `85 to go to school after which
I got a
job
and never left.
I was glad to read cousin Jacki's roll call and information
about the
origin of the town of Yoder Or. (which isn't very far from here).
I
cannot not count the number of times someone has asked me if I'm
related to the Yoder's in that area and until now I never knew
what
the answer was. Thank you Jacki.

Change is going to happen. One of the characteristics of the

It is not ALWAYS lazy, sometimes we just don't know enough
to ask a good
question, or our insecurities require us to reach out for a warm,
supporting hand. I am always amazed at the patience of those who
do
computer support for others. For 8 years I worked as an "Instructional
Computer Consultant" for a large school board, part of a
team of 5, and
we could overhear the "guy in the next cubicle" as he
explained once
again how a certain procedure could be done on the computer. Then
he
would hang up the phone, and say under his breath, just loud enough
for
the rest of us to hear, "Why don't you read the _____ manual?"
We would
all have a good laugh and when the phone rang again he was back
up,
professional as ever.! At least the 5 of us had a safe place to
dump our
frustrations - on each other, in private.

Subject: Oley line ancestors
Cyndy recently posted the European ancestors of Hans and Yost
Yoder,
the immigrants from Steffisburg, Switzerland to the Oley Valley,
Pennsylvania. From what I have, from the Yoder archives, it seems
that some of her spouses were off by a generation (but the message,
at my end anyway, also had some extra lines, so perhaps it was
a
display problem?).
Here's what I have - would love any additions or corrections:
-- Ulli (b.c. 1340) m. Elsi Zaugg/Zook [all European spellings
are Joder]
Heini (b.c.1363) m. Leni Gerber or Gither
Jost (b. 1387, Steffisburg) m. Madlene Schlichter
Caspar (b. Steffisburg) m. Anni Meyer
Caspar m. Margret Moser or Meyer
Balthasar (b. 1525, Steffisburg) m. Anna Jost or Roth
Caspar (b. 1548, Steffisburg) m. (1571) Anni Moser
Caspar (b. 1571) m. (1596) Margret Hennig
Nicolaus (b.1609) m. (1642) Anna Trachsel
Adam (b. 1650) m. (9 Jan 1671) Barbli Ochsenbein
Yost (immigrant, b. 5 Oct 1679) m. (?)
Are the Caspars right? Is there a missing generation (or more)
between
Jost (b. 1387) and Balthasar (b. 1525), or is it just a few younger
sons in a row (works OK if Jost, Caspar, and Caspar were all around
fifty when their sons were born, but that does bring up the likelihood
of additional wives)?
Have any of the "either/or" wives's names been cleared
up? For wives'
parents, I only show Peter Zuagg, father of Elsi; are any more
known?
I alos have no dates on any of the wives, but I may not have
transcribed all the data in the newsletters yet (it's just such
a
comfortable feeling knowing it's there!).
Roll call was fun - I'm amazed by people who can trace 7 or
8 lines
back to one couple. So far, in Berks Co., I've only had one
"pedigree collapse" - BROBST.

Looking for living (and dead) relatives from Allentown PA,
Father was James Allen Yoder (B)011808, his father was Ira S Yoder
born sometime in 1886 I believe, married Grace Haines from

there was another son, possibly Robert who moved to Florida.

Subject: Yother Query
From: WStrip@aol.com (Posted with permission)
I have been unable to find a connection, although I am sure
there is one. My
information is very limited. This is all of the info that I have
on my line
of Yothers.
Issac Yother b. June 1862 in GA. m. Martha Adeline Williams b.
1865 in MO.
Issac's mothers name was Nellie Melinda (last name unknown). Issac
(could
have been spelled Isaac) and Martha's children were:
Allie
Ada Bell b.6-1887
Effie Artelia b. 7-1887
Lelia b. 11-4-1893 (twin)
Lillie b. 11-4-1893 (twin)m. John Washington McAdams (my grandparents)
Sarah Alsena b. 11-1899
Ambros b. 1-25-1902 d. 11-21-1948
It is my understanding that Issac's children were born in and
around Little
River Co, AR and Miller Co. AR. I do know that Lillie and Ambros
are buried
in Miller Co. AR.
If you can help me with the information that I have given you,
I would really
appreciate it. I do know that Issac left his wife and children
when the
children were very young. That is part of the reason that we know
so little
about the Yother's. My grandmother barely knew her father.
Until later,
Joan

Please reply to originator:
I am trying to locate Warren Yoder, who was working as an engineer
in
Iran in the 1960's. The Peabody Museum currently holds a collection
of Iranian antiquities made by Mr. Yoder between approximately
1963
and 1977. We would like to locate Mr. Yoder or his heirs in order
to
resolve questions of ownership to this collection.
Do you happen to know of Warren Yoder or, if not, would it
be possible

Subject: Heritage Tours
I had a couple of notes asking that we mention heritage tours
which are planned for next
year...both from very reliable and well reputed folk. As our next
YNL won't be until
April, I figured I better use the listserver to spread the word.--Chris
Yoder, Editor,
YNL
The first is by Lemar and Lois Ann Mast of Mennonite Family
History magazine accompanied
by Leroy Beachy. This Mennonite Heritage Tour to Switzerland,
Germany, France, Holland,
and Belgium lasts from Apr. 29 to May 19th, 1998. Ask for a free
8-page itinerary to be
mailed to you by writing : masthof@ptdprolog.net.
The second tour is by Dr. Delbert Gratz, retired from Bluffton
College.
You can learn the dates and itinerary, or request a brochure by
calling 1-800-635-0963
and asking to speak to Tara Slaven. Dr. Gratz, like the Masts,
has led heritage tours
yearly and has developed excellent contacts and schedule. He also
has offerred that if
enough folks are interested in a "Yoder Tour"...say
a group of 25 to 35 people, he could
orchestrate a special tour which concentrates on the points of
Yoder heritage. he has
done this twice for the Smucker family and once for the Hochstetler,
Ramseyer and
Kreihbiel families.

addition,
Gingerich recently transferred to the Society his personal research

"The Society has appointed its genealogist, David J. Rempel

"Smucker solicits all possible corrections to the first edition

"Only corrections with clear documentation will be included

have been
compiling an ongoing record of additions and corrections, and
Kreider will
