Subject: Stutzman/Yoder Query

Thanks so much for creating this site! I have just started to research
the Emery and Yoder family trees and discovered my Grandfather, Rev.
Edwin Stanton Yoder on your website (YB13994), a Congregational minister
who was a son of Aaron (YB1399)and Fianna Crauthamel Yoder.
I was surprised to see the Yoder name traced back to Switzerland since my
father, Wallace R. Yoder, always told me that the four Yoder brothers
immigrated from Holland when the Dutch settled New Amsterdam! Does
anyone know if there is any truth to this claim?

Dear Anna Belle,

I just checked through the more inclusive genealogies that I have at
hand, and the only Jacob B. Stutzman I found was in Desc. of Barbara
Hochstetler...he is family number 19579 and lived at Topeka, Ind at death
his children by wife Catherine Miller do not include a Milo.

Perhaps some of the members of the Yoder listserver may be able to help
you with this query...and perhaps you can give more clues about teh
location, etc???

Best regards,

Chris

Dear Kimberly,

I recieved your letter. It is interesting that you go to Grand Valley. My
husband Steve graduated from Grand Valley December 1981. I just became
familiar with the Yoder website a few months ago. I have obtained a good deal
of information from it. I am descended from Melchoir Yoder. I've been using
family tree maker for about 6 months.
I've found it to be a good program. However, I'm not willing to buy into the
xtra purchase of additional discs that may or may not be of use. I've
submitted my info to the Yoder website. I'm not sure if its been posted yet.
I assume that is where you got my e-mail address. If I can be of help just
let me know. I'm more than happy to share what ever info is useful to you.
I'm unsure how to send you the files you want by e-mail. I would probably
find it easier just to print them up and snail mail them to you. Just let me
know how I can help

Hi Kinberly,

I was looking in my files to see if I had your Moses H. Yoder or Barbara
Kauffman. I have both. Barbara was the sister of my gg grandfather,
John j. Kauffman born in 1850 who married Magdalena Zook. Aside from
the obvious other relationships, I am also related to you on Moses'
side, since he is YR25149, and I am descended from YR252, and from
Moses' mother, Esther Hertzler HZ57, (I am descended from HZ1), his
paternal grandmother, Barbara Rickenbach RB31 (I am descended from RB1,
etc.

I do have Family Tree Maker. I would love to share files.

FTM can create a "Family Finder Report", which searches the family
finder index for several, or all your relatives at once. Then a report
is generated which shows potential matches on the CD's Broderbund sells.
This feature can be found under the "View" menu. Broderbund has a 90 day
guarantee on all their products. If you don't like it or want it,
they'll refund your money! I think some of the CD's are on the expensive
side but if the info you need is there, it's probably worth it.

I read this book a couple of years ago - assumed that it was fiction -
assumed that Michener did what a lot of writers and movie producers like
to do these days, set their stories against an Amish background -- liked
the book because of the look into how novels get published and some of
the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on, as well as one view of early
days in PA -- like all James Michener books -- would give my eye teeth to
be able to write my family history book in Michener style, incredible
detail in a very engaging novel format.

Like you I ask, was Lukas Yoder fictional?

Just a general comment....This sems to me to be clearly an amalgam by the author of
partial historical facts and timeframes...He picked Yost Yoder perhaps because of his
familiarity with the surname as a prime represenative of Palatinate settlemnt...here is
my reasoning...I've never seen Lukas/Lucas as a first name in the Yoder clan, 1677 is a
bit early/late for some of the prime religious persecutions in Switzerland (the
Anabaptist moves from Steffisburg appear about 1692 onward) and earlier than the know
Joder movement into the Palatinate, the 1797 date of Pa. settlement was wrong by almost
90 years on the first Yoder arrival in Berks, the name Uriah Zollicoffer seems totally
unfamiliar (either first or second name)...so I've assume right along that Michener's
character was an interesting occurrence but nothing worth reading anything into.... it
just doesn't click with what's known in many ways.--Chris Yoder

This raises some questions which have been churning in the back of my
mind, namely:

How good is the information that is found on the CD's that the various
software makers are offering? Is it from primary sources, or just a
compilation of a number of gedcoms submitted by various people? If it is
from gedcoms, do these companies make any effort to check for accuracy,
etc.? Family history, to a large software company, may be a sideline that
someone suggested would make the company a few bucks. Who is in charge of
quality control of the INFORMATION? I suspect a company's quarantee only
extends to the technical quality of the product delivered, not
necessarily to the quality of the information. We all know of the "family
history" books which are nothing more than a listing from telephone
directories of every one of a certain surname.

Has anyone found the father and grandfather of YR1 and YR2 on these
disks? --- along with good documentation?? <grin>

Part of the reason these questions arise is that I have been downloading
gedcoms from GenServ and Ancestry. When I check the information from some
of these gedcoms I find references to various CD-ROM collections such as
the one mentioned, and some of the information does not match well with
sources such as AAMG, or the other "classics" in our backgrounds. I am
not knocking GenServ, or similar organizations that are designed to help
people share their collections -- just asking the question about the
quality of the information on these CD-ROM disks.

Two interesting "sharing" web sites that you might look at if you want to
tap in to the collections that others have done are:

http://www.ancestry.com
http://www.genserv.com

Search their databases. Both have a "free" take-a-look feature and a
small fee if you want to really get involved.(Probably less than the cost
of CD-ROM disks). They are fun, and I have located a couple of good
contacts thru these places.

Subject: Re: CD quality and other sources

I have the Family Treemaker program with CD #'s 1-7 and CD #9. I have found
some very good information on my families on the CD's along with some
incorrect information. The information on the CD's are family history
research submitted by individuals and some of them have documented their
sources. I don't take any of the information as gospel but sometimes it does
point me in a direction to search that I had not known about before.
Unfortunately, none of my Yother's are on any of the CD's that I have. If any
of you should have the Family Tree Maker CD of land records for AR, AL, GA,
TN, etc., would you mind looking for Nellie Melinda Yother and see what County
she is in and let me know. I am sure she owned land in AR, but I have been
unable to find her. She was married to a Yother, but I don't know his name
and she had a son named Issac or Isaac. Issac is my ggrandfather. Also, I
would be glad to look up Yoder names on my CD's if anyone is interested.
There is a ton of Yoder's on them.

Subject: Re: CD quality and other sources

I have tried at least a half a dozen genealogy programs over the years.
Family Tree Maker is by far the best I have tried and it does the various
types of charts better to. I have more than 600 names in mine and when I run
an ancestor chart it includes them all. It's a good program, (I wonder if I
can get some commercial credits from the Company.

Regarding the Broderbund CD's. As Joan has pointed out, these CD's are
nothing more than collections, that people like all of us have submitted for
inclusion. Broderbund (formally Banner Blue) makes no claim to their
accuracy or authenticity.

Of course the purpose is to sell them to make money. Isn't this the purpose
of any company. This doesn't make the CD's any less helpful. My own
collection started with information provided on the back of an envelope from
Editor Chris. I then purchased The AAM book to complete my direct
descendants back to YR1 & YR2. I then updated this information with all the
recent data I could find. Is all the information 100% accurate? H_ll no, but
then what genealogy data is. I submitted my data to Broderbund so that
others could readily import it into there tree rather than laboriously
typing it in one at a time. If enough people did this, think of the tree we
could leave for our descendants if they were interested!

Heard an interesting (true) story about a fellow (we will call him John)
who found a reference to his father and family in a book that someone had
done. In this book Father was reported to have died in World War II. Now
John and all his siblings were born AFTER WWII. Their father is the man
who supposedly had died during the war.

John tracked down the author of the book to helpfully correct a very
obvious error, and when he talked to her on the telephone she (the
author) got very irrate because she was sure that what she had in her
book was correct. "I found that information on the Internet", she said.

Everyone is incorrect, except me and thee, and sometimes I wonder about

Thanks to those who responded to my question regarding quality of the
info on CDs. I am now convinced that these disks are at least as good as
all the other collections that are available. And I have made a couple of
email friends as a result of that query!

I figure all of this family data, about our dearly departed, is public
info and should be freely shared. Note, I said "departed". I believe that
info about LIVING people should NOT be put up on the Internet. That is an
invasion of privacy which doesn't need to happen.

I am all for sharing of gedcoms and files to avoid the work of keying in
all of the data which someone has already done.

Happy hunting!

Just took my family to see the movie "For Richer or For Poorer", in which Tim Allen and
Kirstie Alley play a married couple "on the lamb" from the IRS who end up disguised as
an Amish couple named: "Samuel and Emma Yoder"....

My own great grandparents were: Samuel and Emma (Lupold) Yoder (YR2337a2)

Other Samuel and Emma Yoders include:

Samuel and Emma (Kauffman) Yoder (YR233448a)
Samuel and Emma (Stutzman) Yoder (YRB1145)

What other Samuel and Emma Yoders are out there? Any in your line?

Judy,

Thanks for the info. I am just starting my geneology research so I
appreciate your input. One part of the story I forgot to relate was
that one of the brothers got lost!! Perhaps it is all a tale that got
changed in the retelling over the years. Again, thanks for your help.

Chris, I took a quick look at the index for DBH, DJH, and the Daniel
Bender Book, and did not find a Jacob and Emma. The closest that I found
was a Jacob and Oma (Miller) Yoder DBH 2384. Oma in index/Naomi in Text.
Is Emma a common nickname for another first name ie.. Veronica/Franny?
Actually Emma does not seem to be too common of an Amish first name. In
Index C of AAMG (Index of Unknown Maiden Names) Emma is only listed
eight times. Notice the long lists of other names such as Anna, Mary or
Elizabeth. I do however think that if we search long enough we will
probably find a Jacob and Emma.

Possibly, the Jno abbreviation you have seen could be for Junior? Some

Jno? I believe Jno is short of "Jonathan" which is usually a distinct

Johannes on occasions (I'm guessing it was more often in the tax lists

suggest that it is okay to respond directly to the source of that

Please send me more information about your offer to do research and only
charge if the requested information is found. It sounds too good to be
true.

I'm interested in finding the parents of someone born in 1846 in Posey
County, IN. I have a few leads and lots of dead ends; one of the leads
concerns Conrad Yoder. I do have information on this person for the
period 1850-1913 but no death certificate.

Let me know if this is something you can undertake and whether a credit
card is the only acceptable method of payment (would prefer to pay by
check.)

My cousin may also interested in your services (for another ancestor)
and I will pass the information on to her.

The few Jno's I've seen have been Johannes, aka John. The Jno was
in census records. Won't give you the odd surname spellings that
went with them.

Chris, I'm going to be looking at 1860-70 Holmes Co, Paint-Salt Creek Twp.
Also a few of Stark and Wayne Twp's. For census records, what Yoder ones

Don't know if there is an index, I've found most of my people weren't
spelled properly anyway. I've been going thru my county/townships, page
by page. I find many more of my people that way. You wouldn't BELIEVE some
of the variations I've found! Well, maybe you would :) I already have most
of my 1850 and 1880's looked up. It won't be much trouble to write down any
Yoder (& variations) I find when going thru them. Tried looking at soundex
1900 for some of my lines, but that seemed pretty confusing to me. (I am
the one who couldn't figure out genealogy.com's listserver)

For Holmes Co, I will be for sure looking at Paint, SaltCreek, Prarie,
Walnut Creek Twp's, maybe Hardy and Knox. City/Town of Winesburg.

If you already have 1860, guess I'll start on 1870's. If you want me to watch
out for Yoder/etc let me know. Is there any standard format that you want them
in?

Another thing I want to ask you about. We seem to have been found by the
spammers finally (on the yoder list). Do we want to continue with the
open list, and possibly more spams now that they've found us, or require
them to belong to the list to post? Or do we want to see how much comes thru?

Greetings Yoderites,

I though I would take a minute to delurk and introduce myself.

I am a forty-something, Lancaster-County Stoltzfus with Somerset-County Yoder roots. My mom is from
the formerly-Amish Yoder freundschaft (sp?) in Somerset County.

I am not as skilled at all this genealogy stuff as some of you (Hi, Joe Miller) but I enjoy keeping in touch
with my ancestral roots, nonetheless. I always enjoy visiting my Yoder relatives in Somerset County, and
should probably do that more often. Many of my Yoder relatives, there, are Beachy Amish.

My maternal grandparents were Lewis S. Yoder and Elizabeth Beachy, from the Springs area. Anyone
know anything about them?

I am a real fan of Pennsylvania German arts and antiques, particularly stuff that relates to my Anabaptist
heritage. And, I must confess that I am something of an amateur self-taught geek. If you are really bored
right now, you can check out several web sites I programmed:

The Gardens of Lancaster County

Here is a draft of the text for a brass marker planned for
the Schweitzer Christian Yoder cemetery...comments welcome:

Old Yoder Cemetery

This cemetery lies on the original homestead of "Schweitzer" Christian Yoder
(c1728-1816). He purchased a 606 acre plot in Somerset Co. on Oct. 9,1775
for &968. Christian brought his large family from berks Co., and was a founder
of the "Glades" Amish congregation. He originally arrived at Philadelphia on the
ship "Francis and Elizabeth" on sep. 21, 1742.

Son John Yoder purchased the homestead in 1796. John and his wife Barbara
rest under two of the only marked graves in this cemetery. It is likely that
"Schweitzer" Christian and many of his other descendants lie under the unmarked
stones.

English translation by Leroy Beachy:

"Our brother Menno Simons died in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 1561 on the

present 1809, the 31st of January, 248 years. But according to the old time, I think.

This writing was found on a small scrap of paper in an old Martyrs Mirror which was
in Amish hands. It is believed that this Christian was probably YR23 ("Schweitzer").
It is now 437 years since the death of Menno Simons and 189 years since Christian Yoder

gradually be hypertexted and placed into the normal webpages.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES:

The principal changes with the Feb. 1998 updates are:
1) Addition of a generation of Yoder Family Groups throught all
family files...This includes families married and with a first child by the time of
the 1900 census. We want to give a special thanks to Rachel Kreider for
reviewing all of the Amish draft family sheets and for posting extensive
additions throughout (with update of spousal cross-references).
2) New and Detailed files from Bruce Yetter on the Descendants
of Samuel Yetter of Columbia Co., Pa. (yet-1,2,3,and indx.doc).
3) Yoder extracts from Wayne County, Oh Cemeteries (thanks to
the help of Joyce Mitchell).(wayne-oh.doc)
4) New translations of German Yoder Notes by Karl Joder and
Ottmar Jotter (schwetz.doc, oleykarl.doc, st-joder.doc) translated thanks
to Mr. Fred Haines.

I'm sure this question will really expose my genealogical ignorance, but

up some of their mums for my landscaping business. Maybe they'll give me

Subject: Jacob Yoder, son of Jonathon S Yoder

Hi,

I'm in search of Jacob Yoder who is thought to have been b. 1852 Holmes Co,
OH son of Jonathan S. Yoder and Mary Plank. He married 14 Feb 1872 Nancy M.
Yount (Mount?) and 2) 6 Sept 1884 to Barbara Keller. He had a daughter, Mary
Angeline Yoder b. @1885 who m. 23 Nov 1890 Daviess Co, IN 1) John Hilary
Mattingly and 2) LeRoy Coward; she died @1952 in Martin Co, IN. Jacob
probably had another daughter Effie Yoder Guess, and a son Grover Yoder.

Mary Plank Yoder died in Gypsun City, Saline County, KS at the home of her dau
Susanna Yoder Peterson. It is not know what became of Jacob.

Jonathon S. and Mary Plank Yoder's were in LaGrange Co, IN in 1860. They had
other children: Lydia m. Jeptha Hooley; Susanna m. Lewis Allen ? 2) Hans
Peterson ?; Quincy m. Leanna Brock; Elizabeth; Malinda m. Wesley Satterfield.

Any clue to what became of Jacob Yoder or any of his siblings or children?

Could be! Ibersheim is located eight miles north of Worms, about fifteen
miles northwest of Heidelberg. This post is intriguing not alone because
of a location, but because it mentions the birth date (abt 1680) and
father (Daniel) of Frances (Vroni) Yoder.

I found the place name and location in my Lauver book re: a Mennonite
Stauffer family. (Being away from home presently I can,t do further
searching in me genealogy materials.) 1680 places Vroni one generation
older than the Amish Yoder immigrant brothers of 1742. I am inclined to
the view that Ibersheim was a Mennonite community and unlikely to have
Amish brethren but we ought not to write this off without further
research. Daniel is not a common name among early Amish families either.

I have indicated to you in the past that I wondered if Eppstein was the
point of emigration for our Yoders. I am unable to check the proximity
of Ibersheim and Eppstein but I think they are close (twenty to thirty
miles). Eppstein as you know had a considerable number of Yoders (with
suitable given names) some years prior to 1742. I was able to persuade
Lois Ann Mast to take us via Eppstein in 1995 and we visited a Mennonite
church there. Likewise there was a Jacob Hertzler (NOT the well known
early Amish bishop but a Mennonite) who migrated from there. I have come
to the conclusion then that Eppstein was most likely a Mennonite
community and not likely the home of the immigrant Yoders. (As with
Ibersheim though, I don,t think we should take it off the table.) If
memory serves, we were informed while in Eppstein that records of the era
we are interested in are now located in Lachen.

Is there any way we can locate some energetic European Yoder to try
looking into places like Ibersheim, Eppstein and Lachen? With e-mail, we
can rapidly exchange facts with someone like that.

I had hoped the Yoder forum would generate new information but it has
served best for those not yet fully aware of their own ancestry, not for
breaking new ground in the unknown earlier generations. I continue to
monitor the forum and intend to remain on it. Hope springs eternal! I
appreciate your efforts to make it more interesting.

On another matter, what is MIME format? I see this frequently in
e-mails. Usually I get a readable message (as with your most recent)
plus lots of gibberish in an apparent repeat of the message I could read.
Do I need some additional program to properly receive MIME posts?

Warmest regards as always, JM

The Yoder Brothers, of Barberton, Ohio, are the chrysanthemum kings of

the flowery details.

G. Ramsey Yoder's picture is here:

Subject: Cool Yoder Spam

Hello Yoder Researchers,

Chris Yoder, owner of this list, tells me that it is ok to send y'all
some information about some Yoder memorabilia that I have. So here goes.

I am looking for good homes for two antique Yoder needlework pieces.
They are:

Item #1. Katie Yoder's ABC Sampler--A vibrant cross-stitch sampler
created for Katie Yoder (b.1847 d.1878), wife of David Yoder (b.1842
d.1909). This sampler was made for Katie Yoder c. 1870 by her sister,
Lizzie King (b.1849 d.1893).

The sampler includes Katie Yoder's name, Lizzie's initials, and the name
of their niece, Rebecca King (b.1842 d.1909) Rebecca added her name c.
1890. You can see a photo of this sampler, with more information, here:
http://www.yourantiques.com/needlework.html

Item #2. Sarah Yoder's Show Towel--A homespun-cotton show towel made
in 1852 by Sarah Yoder (b.1834 d.1897). Sarah lived in Mifflin County,
PA. She was the daughter of Nicolas Yoder and Leah (Yoder) Yoder. Sarah
married Joseph W. Byler (b.1828 d.1905)

Sarah Yoder sewed her name into the towel, "Sarah Yoder" and her
daughter, Lea, later added her name. Lea married Eli B. Zook. Sarah made
this towel to hang on a door. You can see a photo of this show towel,
with more information, here: http://www.yourantiques.com/ybtowel.html

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks, Chris, for letting me spam your list.

The John S. Yoder Home

When the Amish Heritage Foundation moved the Yoder Home to a new location
in Sugarcreeek back in May of 1995, we had three goals in mind: (1) to
preserve the 1869 Amish post and beam structure, one of Sugarrcreek's first
homes, for posterity;
(2) to restore the Yoder Home nearly as possible to its original 1869 state
to give visitors a look at a genuine Amish home; and
(3) to create an Amish Archives Room to hold, preserve and display Amish
and Yoder Family memorabilia.

After nearly three years of hard work we are getting closer to our dream
and hope to open this summer to our first visitors.

Moving the 92 ton structure cost over $18,000. We palletized the old
sandstone foundation and with the help of several Amish masonry gangs,
erected a new basement and dropped the Yoder Home upon it. We also built a
full length front porch with a basement beneath, to hide our restrooms and
heating plant. We installed a new slate roof on the porch; put a brick
floor in the old basement and built brick sidewalks from red solid floor
bricks. We completely stripped the interior rooms of updated woodwork and
six layers of wallpaper; removed several newer interior walls and painted
the exterior siding. Much of this work
was done by volunteer labor.

Currently, we will be patching plaster and drywalling where necessary. We
will replace four bad windows. Painting will follow.
We will then begin to furnish the kitchen, parlor and a bedroom before we
open in early summer.

Our funds are nearly exhausted. We hope there are those in the Yoder
Freundschaft and others who could help us in our endeavor. All gifts are
tax-free and will be gratefully acknowledged. Our mailing address is: The
Amish Heritage Foundattion,
Box 704, Sugarcreek, OH 44681.

Thank you,

I'm sending my favorite Yoder recipe -- it came from my great-grandpa when
he was 95 years old.

John Harvey Yoder (b. 11 July 1881)

1890 Corn meal mush

First, go to the corn crib and get a bushel or two of yellow corn ears.
Put them in the oven and heat them until parched a bit. Shell off the
grain and take to the mill where it is stone ground. When you're ready to
cook mush, you get the stick you keep for stirring it. If you can't find
it, cut a piece of hard wood about fifteen inches long and shaped like this
=====<O>. Have plenty of dry wood to make the fire. Take an iron kettle
holding 2-1/2 gallons. Fill it about 3/4 full with clean water. Add some
salt. When water begins to boil, take stick in one hand and with the other
drop meal slowly into the kettle, stirring all the time. Add corn meal
until it is thick enough to say "Pouff" when it boils. Let it boil a
little while but do not have enough fire under it to burn it to the kettle.
When it has boiled enough, you dip it out into rectangular pans about 2
inches deep. You eat what you want for supper with milk or butter and what
you have in pans you have for breakfast. Cut in slices and fry golden
brown on both sides and eat with maple syrup or apple butter, or better
yet, liver pudding. If it has been properly cooked you will find in the
bottom of the kettle a crust almost 1/2 inch thick. This we liked to eat
right from the kettle, taken out with a large spoon or pancake turner.

His recipe was published in Dutch Kettle Cookbook - Recipes from family and
friends, by Adella Brunk Kanagy, 1977.

Slight correction... the Henry Yoder family record was found in the Bible
of his granddaughter Elizabeth (Mrs. Daniel) Beachy and her husband. It
was on a loose sheet placed in that Bible. The present owner received the

Subject: Corrections to YNL 31

As usual, there are mistakes in the text of the YNL...First off..The
"CORRECTION" on page two which says the "Rosanna of the Amish" desendant
should be scratched from the paragraph in YNL 30 about "YR128"...it
should really have said the "YR127" paragraph.

Secondly, in the Wayne Co. article...first the Henry Yoder on the map
who was marked as "YR2613"--couldn't have been...he stayed longer in
Pennyslvania. And then the John Yoder who died in 1855 is labeled in the
paragraph on page 4 as (YR1621)...it was really (YRB11)..

Sorry...

OK, Chris. Thanks for the welcome into the club. This isn't exactly the
short form but it's apparently who I am, Yoder-wise. I've edited away the
non-Yoder ancestry and wives, so it's just a name trace. I tried to leave
the wives in but it became too confusing for introductory e-mail. Note,
however, that Samuel S Yoder of the YR1 line married Elizabeth Yoder of the
YR2 line, so I have them both. ( The numbers refer to RINs used in the PAF
software files.)

Subject: Amos Yoder of Darke Co, OH

Further Evidence of Links

Amos Yoder (1797-1878) who is buried in the Oakland Cemetery, Adams Twp.,
Darke Co, OH, has been one of our "missing links". We knew that he was
born in Pa, and that he married Mary Cain in Miami Co, Oh on 1/3/1841.
Thanks to Joe Bosserman, we learned a couple months ago that Amos had a
first wife named Rebecca _____ d. 6/3/1838 age 30, buried at the Sugar
Grove Cemetery, Miami Co., Oh.

For some time we have been looking at the Pennsylvania Yoders of
Tulpehocken Twp, Berks County who vanished right about at the time Yoders
started appearing in Miami County....

Amos is not a common Yoder name, particularly so pre-1850. In the 1830
Census there is an Amos, age 20-30 with a wife and single daughter under
5 years of age living in Tulpehocken Twp . Relooking at notes taken by
Dick Yoder of Bechtelsville many years ago...I just found the following:

"Elizabeth Yoder born 4/2/1830 bapt. 4/12/1830, parents Amos and Rebecca
Yotter" - Christ Lutheran Church, Tulpehocken (now Marion) Twp.

This is further evidence that the Miami Co Yoders moved there from
Tulpehocken Twp...the senior Yoders of whom in 1830 was named "Abraham",
age 60-70 years and his wife of the same age (possibly the missing
OH135?)

(See "AV" and "AN" in the unlink2.doc file)

And then as above.

And perhaps seeing all this, you understand why I use the AAMG codes to
help us all keep my lines straight. In addition to having 5 Yoder
lines, I also have 3 Zug/Zook lines and 3 Kurtz lines. And I have two
Christian Yoders born the same year (1761)!!! (YR146 and YRB1) (and two
Anna Yoders who each married Samuel Koenig/Kings.

Subject: My Yoders

Dear cousins,
From what I can tell, I am related to YR2 (Christian YODER) once and YR1
(_______ YODER) three times. My fiancee is related to the two brothers
through at least 20 distinctly different lines. Her geneology looks more
like a family web than a tree. I am interested in whether or not others
have incountered that much relation to the Yoder brothers. I will list one
line for myself and my fiancee. I will list the ones that stay YODER the
longest (neither of us are YODERs).

Here is mine:
1. YR2 Christian Yoder (c.1700-1775) m. Barbara ______
2. YR23 Christian Yoder (10/1728-11/20/1816) m. Barbara Hooley
3. YR236 Yost Yoder m. Magdalena Rickenbach
4. Yost Yoder m. Elizabeth Stutzman
5. Anna Yoder m. Joseph D. Miller (3rd cousins)
6. Anna Catherine Miller m. John J.S. Miller
7. George Monroe Miller m. Anna Garber
8. Vernon Miller m. Rosa Anna Metzler
9. Nora Miller m. Elmer D. King Jr.
10. Thomas D. King m. Eve A. Courtland
11. Nicholas L. King

Here is my fiancee's
1. YR2 Christian Yoder (c.1700-1775) m. Barbara ______
2. YR25 John Yoder (1732-7/2/1813) m. Anna Mast
3. YR253 Jacob Yoder m. Catherine Blank
4. Jacob Yoder m. Anna Kauffman
5. John N. Yoder m. Jemima Zook
6. Joseph Z. Yoder m. Sarah A. Hartzler (2nd cousins)
7. Elizabeth B. Yoder m. Samuel D. Hartzler (2nd
cousins)
8. Lena Hartzler m. Bennett Byler (3rd cousins)
9. Jason Byler m. Matilda Bontrager
10. Annie E. Byler

If anyone is interested in any of the other 20+ lines we have to these two
brothers, let me know and I will contact you. Chances are, either my
fiancee or I am related to everyone on this list within 4-5 generations (of
course I guess we are all related about that closely)!

Dear Laurie,

I have snipped a great deal of your post because I am interested in
determining the validity of only one thing that you posted.

Can you prove that "Jacob" is the first name of #2. generation 1. Jacob
Yoder (1695--1742)? If so, do you mind sharing that proof?

Sincerely yours, John M. Slabaugh

Subject: YR1 = ??

John Mark Slabaugh raised the question earlier and the subsequent Family
Group by Dave Yoder (see follows:

"Jotter (YR)
Jacob Yoder (YR1) 1695-1742 m "Widow" Barbara
Christian Yoder (YR12) 1722-1/1772 m Barbara Beiler (BY1) 1723-1781"

Brings it up again...Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies...the
authoritative text by Dr. Hugh Gingerich and Rachel Kredier...
does not identify a first name for YR1. In all of our YNL editions, we
have listed the name of YR1 as "unknown"....Granted, analyzing the names
of the grandsons in the YR1 line has led to speculation that his name
COULD have been "Jacob"...But as far as the YNL is aware, no EVIDENCE has
been identified to this effect. Some people have put this speculation
into print different places...perhaps with question marks, and then the
next thing you know it's passed as fact.

If anyone has PROOF of the name for YR1 this is a major break-through! I
have never seen such, and don't believe it exists at this point....

Best wishes..Chris Yoder

have you done any census work? that has always given me a good deal of
info quickly when i know a state to work with. go to a large library
with a genealogy section or a family history center at a nearby mormon
church or university libraries that have census indexes. you'll be
checking PA for John H. You'll check from 1920 and earlier since 1930
census is not available by law.

if you haven't got a copy of your father's death certificate, i would
check the probate court in the county where he died so you can check for
the accuracy of his father's name (assuming it is on the certificate)

Dear Keith and Ruth (and everybody),
A great place to start for Amish or Mennonite Yoders (and many other
surnames) is
http://www.bright.net/~swisstea/hindex.htm
This is called the OMII Project. If you scroll about half way down the
page, you will find three databases. The ones called "Kidron Ohio's" and
"James C. Hostetler's" have the most info. These are just large GENDEX
databases.

Specifically Keith, you can find your ancestry at
http://www.gendex.com/users/geiser/hostetlr/d0124/g0000015.html#I28312

I hope this is helpful for you. Now you too will be able to rattle off 8
generations (you are related to the same Christian Yoder m. Barbara _____
as the rest of us). Good luck, and happy hunting.

Does anyone know the titles of some good reference books about the
history of the Mennonites and the Mennonite Church? After a lifetime of
believing that my ancestors were members of the Dutch Reformed Church I
just recently found out that my grandfather, E. Stanton Yoder, YB13994,
was a Mennonite before he became a Congregational minister. Therefore,
I would like to know more about the beliefs and history of the
Mennonites.

I have access to a good public library system here in Tucson, AZ, but
thought my Yoder "cousins" might give me some leads first.

Thank you,

Dear Keith,

You are not only from the "Big Valley"...you are from as close as
it comes to "Yoder Royalty"...Alhamdulillah!!

Your John H. is the grandson of
"Rosanna of the Amish"---I certainly would be surprised if you
have not read the book....

Cousin Ilse,

Your Anna YODER is my gggg grandmother. According to information in

parents were (un-named) YODER (YR) who died at sea on the way to America
in 1742 and his widow, Barbara ________.

Not much to go on; but apparently nothing further has ever been proven.

Hope you get an answer from someone....I'll print off your query and mail

There's an interesting "surname distribution site" on the web at

http://www.hamrick.com/names/

Entering a surname gets you a map of the United States showing the
distribution of people with that surname within the 50
United States. You can get maps based on census and phone book data for
1850, 1880, 1920, or 1990.

'Looks like Ohio wins for highest Yoder concentrations, and Lousiana, New

Dear "Cousins";

Thank you for your willingness to help with the restoration of the Old
Yoder
cemetery in Somerset County!

Right now I'm looking toward trying to get together over the Memorial Day
weekend to do some cemetery clean-up. Thanks to cousin Tom Yoder we've
contacted the Zubek Coal Company and have scoped out the access
arrangements.
The only present access is through a locked gate at the site entrance.
The job site on
RD1, Box 155A, Berlin is not open on Saturdays, but Bob Zubek has offered
that
someone could pick up a key during the week so we would have weekend
access. I'd like a
local volunteer to take care of that.

Here's what I would propose:
A local volunteer picks up the key before Saturday the 30th
(traditional
Memorial Day)(Mark or Mayla can you take charge of this?)
We meet at the gate Saturday morning, say 10am with packed
lunches, weed
wackers, rakes, saws, etc for clean up work.
We spend 4-6 hours working at the site.
We collaboratively discuss monument options, where to have it
placed,
options for a follow on fence (Michael has some good information on what
has been
done with plastic fencing at a cemetery in his family), and decide where
to go from
there.

I have pricing and contacts with different companies for brass marker and
stone, but
with the lead time to get something made, it would likely take longer
than we have, and
I'd rather that everyone involved have a role in the decision making.

Sound OK? and are you able to take part? Please drop me a line or Call.

There are at least three of us here in MA - We are the only Yoders in our

Dear Mike,

This data is part of the collected information of the late Karl Joder
of Germany and Ottmar Jotter (still living). Part of the info is
on file in the Yoder Web Page archives...down to the

Peter JODER (1538)
> sp. Trini EYMANN

marriage....we didn't show their son Jacob or downward. Just
wish we had some of the source material on this... over a number of
years, Karl printed information which was in conflict with itself
somewhat, and at times seems to be guess-work....It certainly would
be fun to believe that the Yoder line goes all the way back to
the 1260 Peter....could well go to him, but seems a bit speculative...

Several folks have printed this line (going back on the Oley side
which intersects around Peter and Trini...and also on the Amish side
which has been claimed off of several lines, but never proven) as
Gospel...and I would hope you all take it with a grain of salt...

Just wish we knew more of the origins of The

Chris,

Many thanks for the prompt and very helpful reply. The material was given to
me as "unproved" as well and I will continue to treat it so. Running back to
the 1200's would indeed be quite a trick...we are lucky to have what we do.
My wife insists we must stop in a Yoders near Sarasota (we live near Tampa)

Hi Mike!
I just got back to Ohio from Sarasota. We went to Yoder's three times
while I was there. While they have excellent peanut butter pie, I never
saw Shoefly pie on their menu. Their coconut cream is delicious also.

6/19/1794 and his father was also a John (Johannes Yoder/Jotter) b.
1763. From this info I am putting together the pieces of the puzzle. I
never knew my fathers family and am at a loss to this heritage. Am now
looking for info on more recent relative, an aunt. My grandfather was
Ira S. b. 6/13/1885, he had 3 children: my father James A., another son
Robert Wayne, and a daughter, Evelyn (I believe) need her dob and other
pertinant info. Anyone know of this family? Am excited to find I belong

I'm sure you are aware of GLO (General Land Office Records).

CD which the various Genealogy suppliers have been selling for various
prices of $19 and up. I found that I could purchase them directly from
GLO for $15 each and have made a collection of most of them.
Yesterday I received a flyer from GLO announcing that they were now
on the net and that I could search for any land grant that was on file
and down load an image of the exact grant.
I did a search for my G-Grandfather Samuel Boley in Carroll co., Mo..
One hit!!!!! I downloaded the grant and printed it out in its entirety.
WOW!!! What a break through. GLO says that if I wish them to send me a
certified copy it will cost me $1.50.
No longer will we need to buy the CD's. It's right here---FREE>

This is a topic that has been, and is being, and will continue to be
discussed on the various forums of the INTERNET, and will likely never be
satisfactorily settled. Yes, we must be on our guard. It is my
observation that articles of the type you describe sell papers and
magazines, but often tell one side of the story only.

If you examine the YODER home page (http://www.genealogy.org/~yoder) you
will see that there are very few references to living people. This is
partly due to the nature of this "homepage" - an archives. It is also due
to the fact that I, as the page designer, made a real effort to NOT
include information about living people, and Editor Chris agrees with
this idea. Page designers have an obligation to avoid creating problems
for people. Even though almost everything that can be known about you and
me is in the databases of this world and easily accessed by almost
everyone, I see no reason why any homepage I am responsible for should
make it easy for a would be snoop.

Having said the above, I think we can over-react to these articles. There
are a few horror stories about how someone ripped off a person's bank
account via info. from the Internet, but often if you push a bit, you
find that these stories never happened to the person doing the telling,
but they heard from so-and so that such-and-such happened. How many
times have you given your credit card to a waitress and she dissapears
with it for a while, then brings it back to you with the bill. Do you
know what she did with your card while she had it? OR, how many times
have you given your credit card number over the telephone?

The Internet is just one more way to spread information around. I try to
be careful about the sensitive information that conserns me, and have
evolved to the point where I will not include living people's data in my
homepages. The living already know that information, those who don't know
can ask the living if they need to know. Anna Belle, your warning is a
good one. We do have to be careful.

I remember when I was growing up we NEVER locked our house, and the key
to the car was STORED in the ignition of the car where it was
conveniently available when needed. Oh, for the good old days!!

Had a very productive day at the site of the Old Yoder Cemetery in Somerset County, Pa
(know site of burial for John and Barbara Yoder and believed burial place of
John's father "Schweitzer Christian" (YR23)).

Joined by Mark and Mayla Yoder and Morgan Dickey of Berlin, Bruce and Elwood Yoder and
Miss Courtney Pryal of Friedens, Tom Yoder of Coraopolis, Pa, Jack Walker of
Somerset, Harvey Yoder of Belleville, and Christian Yoder of Clarksville, Tn...we raked,
trimmed, cut, reset stones, and planted. Everyone was quite pleased with the result.

We discussed plans for the permanent marking of the site. Will initially save up for a
brass marker mounted on a marble headstone. Have about $175 put aside or pledged at this
point... a longer term objective agreed to (suggested by Army Band member Michael L.
Yoder) was a vinyl fence...with prospects of making it's installation an Eagle scout
project a couple years off.

I have a book that mentions several Maurers

Guth, Herman; "Amish Mennonites in Germany - Their Congregations, The
Estates Where They Lived, Their Families", Illinois Mennonite Historical
Society and Masthof Press, 1995

This books contains several entries in its index for Maurer (marriage
partners), but does not deal with the MAURER family directly. There may
be some leads here. I could not see a connection to Abraham Yoder, the
Maurers in this book are connected to Hauter, Stalter and various
families living around the Zweibrucken region of western Germany

Masthof Press sells the book. They have a web site:

http://www.masthof.org/masthofpress.html

There seem to be very few queries for Maurer, so yours caught my eye. I
grew up in an area where there was/is a Maurer family. They moved from
the Milford, Nebraska area to Tofield, Alberta, Canada about 1910. This
is not in my direct line so I haven't done much research on MAURER, but
maybe there are descendants in Nebraska who are researching this name.

Hope this helps in some way.

Dear Ward,

While on a trip to Germany last year, we met an American by the name of
Michael S. Mowrer who is editor of a paper for US troops in Heidelberg.
He is workiing on the identification of all American immigrant Maurer
families. He might be able to help you. His address is:

Editor, Herald Post
CMR 419, Box 848
APO AE 09102

I have an ancestor by the name of Johannes Sechler who died in 1761 in
New Hanover twp in what is now Montgomery Co., PA. His wife (probably a
second wife) was Anna Maria (possibly Maurer). She was born 25 Dec 1709,
probably in Europe, and died 5 Jan 1777, and is buried at New
Goshenhoppen Church in Montgomery County. If she indeed was a Maurer,
she may have been related to your Elizabeth. An Andreas Mourer was a
bondsman for the administrator of Johannes Sechler's estate in 1783. A
quit claim deed dated 6 July 1785 was made between Henry Sechler,
grandson of Johannes Sechler and Abraham Yoder, who was trying to clear
the title in order to sell to George Welker, which he did.

I realize this does not answer your question of who Elizabeth Maurer's
parents were, but it may give you some clues for further searching.

Hi,
I'm new to the list. With some much appreciated direction from Judy
Gurka, I've just connected to the Yoder family line.

I've been searching my MAURER line and was looking for the husband of
Elizabeth MAURER (1771-1843), known to me as Abraham YOTTER. He was,
in fact, Abraham YODER (1761-1836). Abraham was the son of Casper
YODER, Sr. and grandson of Hans YODER. Now that he is properly
identified, I'm still involved in my MAURER search.

Has anyone researched this YODER line thoroughly enough, to be able to
tell me who Elizabeth MAURER's parents were or could you point me in a
direction where I should be searching?
Any suggestions/ thoughts, would be appreciated.

Welcome to the list Ward Ryan,

I read your post to theYoder list and may have some information of use
to you. I have Elizabeth Maurer's parents as Andrew Maurer and Anna
Barbara Steinman. I think the source of information was the Yothers book
(p 41- have you seen it?). I also have a note that a lot of Maurers are
listed in the Records of the New Goshenhoppen Church. A lot of details
are provided therein, but it is a bit hard to piece everything together.
Recently, I perused these records and recorded all of the entries
concerning persons names Andrew Maurer. My notes are provided below. In
these church records, there are many entries for other Maurers too, but
I didn't record them (my line goes to Casper and Barbara Yoder via
Annie; hence, Abraham and Elizabeth are only of secondary interest to
me).

Pardon me for this non-Yoder topic, but in the interests of balance ...

Disk Eastman writes a weekly newsletter about matters pertaining to
genealogy. In the last edition, "Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter,
June 6, 1998" he presents his opinions on the above mentioned article. I
was delighted to learn that someone else, more knowledgeable than I,
feels that the fear factor which the media tends to try to capitalize on
may be part of what is going on with this article. It is worth a look.
You can read Eastman's side of the story at:

http://www.ancestry.com/columns/eastman/index.htm

If you don't feel comfortable on your surfboard, and prefer to read his
views via regular email, let me know and I will clip his comments and
send them to you as an email message.

(You can subscribe to his newsletter and have it delivered to your
computer each week via email.)

These files have been converted to HTML and are available on the website

I did this in a hurry, because the weather outside is absolutely

Thank you for your reply. I thought I was Yoder "cousin" but saw
somewhere on your page, (I cannot fine the article now) that there
was another Phronica Emmerich and Johannes Yoder and I wanted to be
sure I belonged to your Yoder family

You probable know that Elizabeth and Davie are buried on the Sittler
plot at Zion Lutheran Church Moselem. We had, over the past two years,
two of the German Tombstones redon. Conrad Sitler and his wife
Catharine März. Mr. Minich did a beautiful job of restoring them. We
saw the first one he did but have not been home in two years. He sent
us a picture of the last one he restored. Elizabeth's and David's are
worn guite badly and harder to read. I think we have all the words
written down correctly. Ted can read German and so were able to copy
the words in the orginial German (I traveld 1500 miles and married a
German.) Elizabeth and David have writing on the front and the back
so there would be more work to redoing their tombstones. Perhaps we
can have there's done sometime in the future.

I would love to hear from some of the "cousins" and would appreciate
you putting the information on your page in your own words.

Incidentialy, Elayne Rickmers is one of my dearest and closest
friends.

Again Chris thank you for your reply.

(Some Yoder dates approaching--plan now how you plan to celebrate
St.Joder's Day---next month August 16th)

On July 14th:

in 1864, David Yoder (Con3), third child of Conrad Yoder of NC, died at
the age of 94 and in buried in the Grace Church Cemetery. It is said that
he went to Georgia in 1814, but didn't like it and returned to NC.

in 1914, Christian Yotter (AQ2) died in West Point Iowa. Christian had
been born 12/12/1831 in Sembach, Germany to Johann Jotter (1803-1838) and
Agnes Gobel. His brother Henry settled in Alden,NY and has descendants
there today.

On July 15th:

Major Charles T. Yoder (see YNL 18 and 29) was born in 1843.

On July 16th:

>From the Joder/Jotter Chronik by Karl Joder and Ottmar Jotter (See theHomepage Archives):

"According to the Bernese regime's Council Manual [Minutes] 222/15
of 16 July 1690 (in the City Archive of Bern): 'The regime orders
Provincial Governor von Trachselwald to inquire whether the
Anabaptists Jost Joder and Christen Blank from Steffisburg are
staying, as reported, in Schangnau and whether they have brought
their property there. As soon as this is confirmed, it should be
reported to the Anabaptist Chamber [Tauferkammer]."

Today I discovered the USGenWeb Archives Census Project. Although it is
still very much incomplete, its potential is phenomenal for those doing
research in the USA. To check this out do the following:

GOTO -- http://www.usgenweb.org/census/
Click on "State selection" pages
Select "Indiana"
Choose "1850"
Scroll down to "Elkhart", click on "US GenWeb Census Project" button
Select "elkhart.txt"
Use FIND in your browser to search for YODER
Prepare to be amazed!

Now imagine how valuable this would be if the project was complete!

Go back to the top and read "How you can help"

PS: I am not a part of this project, but after having spent countless
hours in the last few weeks with US Census films, going line-by-line, and
trying to decipher the poor and sometimes nearly illegible handwriting on
the films, with no search engine or index to help, I just may have to get
involved. I certainly see this as a worthwhile project!

Subject: Yoders

Hello,
Some time ago John Davis of California sent me a query concerning a
Yoder/Joder lineage that neded with Denlingers and Hockmansand Funks. I
made an earlier attempt to contact those email attached and no reply. If
any of the folks I've written to here have questions concerning the
early history you may reply to this email. The original inquiry asked
about the origin of a Yoder lineage which ran from about 1260 to 1700
ending with Michael Denlinger and Veronica Yoder.

Subject: Yoder/Denlinger/Hockman

Hello,
I received a letter from John Davis of California with a lineage of
Yoders tied in to Denlingers and Hockmans. I'm not sure if I was the
ultimnate source or not. This tree was done from research on the
Denlinger family. The Yoder information came from a Yoder (can't think
of his first name this minute) who passed away maybe 5+ years ago. He
found the Denlinger Yoder marriage and provided me with the Yoder
ancestry. I believe the first name is Habeggar, not Mabeggar. Habecker
is a Lancaster County name. As for verification of the information, I
have had littler luck getting documentation from them, consequently all
info is to be taken with a grain of salt. He had a record of the
Denlinger Yoder marriage but never could seem to remember where from. I
checked with a friend of his who said the guy wouldn't make it up , but
he too was not able to secure documentation. I have the original letter
with this lineage. It has a few towns with the names. If you have Family
Tree Maker I might be able to send you what I have. I also have Elsi
Zaugg (Zug) father's name somewhere too.
By the way the Funks were neighbors of the Denlingers back in
Lancaster County, Pa. Also, I have a friend Kim Artz from the same Artz
line I suppose. Terre Hill area of Eastern Lancaster County.
Hope I've been some help.

Subject: News From the Oley Reunion

1998 Oley Yoder Reunion

On July 18, 1998, the Oley Yoder Association held their third
annual farmily reunion at the Oley Fire House in Oley, Pennsylvania.
Approxmiately 70 family members enjoied the social/historical event
highlighted by the abundance of socialization, family renewals and a
review of "some of" the latest historical family research information.
The Oley Yoders are direct lineage of Johannas and Yost
Joder, who as early as 1714 settled in the Oley Valey, Berks County.
Descendants of Hans and Yost, established settlements throughout the
Oley Valley, with the otiginal family located in what is today called
the village of Pleasantville.
The association has been actively devoted to the care and
maintenance of the family cemetery (pleasantville Union Cemetery).
The reunion attendees visited the cemetery where both Hans and Yost
are believed to be buried. The cemetery is also the location of the
oldest Yoder tombstone in America (Daniel Yoder died 1747-OH14).
The days activities was accented by a presentation by
Eleanor Trout Shaner, an executive committee member, who reviewed
the origins of the Yoder family dating back to the 1500's, the religious
persecution taking place at that time in Switzerland and the
immigration of Hans and Yost to America. She discussed the
tribulations and uncertainties of the boat trip accross the Atlantic
Ocean, their marriages in America and the ensuing land purchases in
the Oley Valley region. Richard H.Yoder, the association's historian,
showed slides of the land grants, map locations and subsequent
purchases, homes and buildings, and cemetery burial locations of the
early Yoder immigrants.
Joseph Yoder, president-elect, announced the Association's
plans to host a "national level" reunion in the summer of 2001. Over
400 people attended the 1996 national Oley Yoder family reunion. Joe
Yoder also presided as the auctioneer of a "white elephant sale",
where proceeds were donated toward the cemetery maintenance fund.
The oldest individual attending the reunion activities was
Maude Yoder Hoch, 86 years young, from Oley, with the youngest
attendee, Rebekah Hymes, age 16, from Colorado. Rebekah is the
grandaughter of Mary Jane Gofus.
The association meets regularly at the Old Historic
Pleasantville Inn, Route 73 and Covered Bridge Road, in
Pleasantville, throughout the year and encourage all who want to join
us, write to the Oley Yoder Association, 415 State St., Pottstown, Pa.
19464 for the dates.
Th fourth annual reunion will be held July 17, 1999. Details
will follow in later issues of the YNL--plan now to attend--place the
date on your '99 calendar.--submitted by Rich Yoder, President
-
Oley Yoders announce July 20, 2001 as the date of the next national
reunion!!!

In Gingerich and Kreider, AAMG, p. 183 there is a listing for Samuel
Koenig (KG) married to Anna Yoder (YR15). This list contains 14 children,
but no Martha. The first child on the list is Magdalena ((could this be
Martha?)) b. 1745 in PA, d. 1814 in Lancaster Co., PA; with a footnote
that "her birthdate is somewhat suspect, depending on the correct
decipherment of an almost unreadable tombstone. The date seems a few

Tantalizingly close, but ... ???

Anna (YR15) was the fifth child of the widow Barbara whose husband "died
at sea", according to this source. she was born in Europe, about 1728.

Subject: Re: Anna Yoder PA???

Your ancestor Samuel no doubt got 'King' out of 'Koenig' by simple
translation - 'king' being the English translation of German 'konig' (with
an umlaut, two dots, over the 'o') or 'koenig' (for typefonts which lack an
umlauted 'o').

Such translation was very common practice. In my Yoder line is the name
'Biber,' which became 'Beaver' in Pennsylvania, another straight
translation. In such a case, where the word is almost the same in both
languages - 'b' and 'v' being very closely related phonetically - the
temptation to make the translation must have been all but irresistible.

Dear Colleen,

As well as the obvious connections to the Yoders (I have 5)and
Koenig/Kings (Just 1), I have three lines of Kurtz's. I descend also
from Jacob's uncle Abraham (KZA1) and his first wife, ? Bollinger, whom
we descendents believe was Margaret. ?Margaret was a sister to his
second wife, Barbara.

Your Jacob, KZA21 is the son of Jacob KZA2 and Elizabeth Eberley. I
have more information if you want it.

Subject: AAMG? Sam, Anna & Magdelena

I didn't see an answer to the question: what is "Gingerich and Kreider,
AAMG"? It's a popular reference book, *Amish and Amish Mennonite
Genealogies* by Dr. Hugh F. Gingerich & Rachel W. Kreider - Pequea
Publishers (c) 1986. This book is available at Masthof
<http://www.masthof.org/> and can be found in some libraries.

I too have a connection to Samuel Koenig, Anna Yoder and dau. Magdelena.
We're all just one great big happy family. Here is a little info I've
gleaned.

Samuel Koenig married Anna Yoder who was born about 1728. The ceremony
took place around 1750 and was likely one of the first performed by
Bishop Jacob Hertzler who came to America in 1749. Samuel and Anna had
14 children, all of whom grew to maturity and had families of their own.
The children are listed in the order in which they appeared in Samuel's
will.

He purchased land in Cumru Township, Berks Co. Pennsylvania on July 14,
1761 jointly with his brother-in-law John Hertzler. Samuel's address was
given as Oleg Twp. Berks Co. Pennsylvania on the deed. He was of the
Amish faith as were a large number of his descendants. In fact, many
present day Amish of Lancaster County are related rather closely to
Samuel Koenig.

out of print, is named "Kak", too (Epic - EK 48534). I search for any
informations about this group - and I would like to know if there is some
informations in the Yoder Family Archives about Gary L. Yoder.
------
This is the first that I've heard of him! Interesting.

If you'd like, I'd be glad to post your question on the Yoder Listserver...
perhaps one of our 150 some readers nation-wide will know about him.

It is not likely that the Gary L. Yoder who carves birds at Spruce Forest
Village ever performed in a rock band. I don't know this for a fact,
however I have met the bird carver. He is handicapped and has I believe
walked with crutches for most of his life. While he is very, very talented
and produces bird carvings that are really more life-like than what a
taxidermist could produce, he doesn't strike me as a rock musician.

See the article in Yoder Newsletter No. 17---These Mennonite Yoders were
imprisoned and had their goods confiscated rather than serve...they were
listed in the muster roles, however resisted...that perhaps explains why no
one seems to have gotten into the DAR using them.

Annabelle & Shirley,
The 110 vol DAR member lineage books were published quite a long time
ago, maybe as far back at the 1930s. The Patriot Index volumes are
relatively current and include those patriots, including spouses, that
have been accepted by the DAR. Newly accepted patriots are listed
monthly in the DAR Magazine.
For types of service accepted see the DAR webpage:

Subject: Jonathan A. Yoder who m. Katherine Baughman

Chris:
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of information about Jonathan A.
Yoder. I've really just started working on my family history.
I think he lived in the Danvers, Illinois area. His wife's name was
Katherine Baughman (I don't have any other information about her). His
daughter, Mary Alice Yoder (Spencer) was born in 1871 in Danvers, Il.
Mary Alice married Joseph Frederick Spencer (who was born in 1878 in
Lawrenceburg, MO and died in 1965 in Danvers, IL).
I'm not sure if any of this group was Mennonite, however, I do know
that my grandmother, Etta Marie Spencer, daugher of Marie Alice Yoder
Spencer was of the Mennonite faith and belonged to the First Mennonite
Church in Danvers, IL.
I'm sure that won't help you a whole lot but maybe an experienced
genealogist can pull something out of that! Thanks for any and all help
you can provide.

House of Yoder News (Sept 98)

You are Invited to the 3rd Annual Meeting in November!

The third annual meeting of the House of Yoder will be held at Penn Alps
in Grantsville, Maryland on Saturday, November 14, 1998 from 10:00 a.m.
through mid-afternoon. Agenda items include: a business meeting, a tour
of the Yoder House under construction, sharing a breakfast/lunch buffet
at the Penn Alps Restaurant and input from our guest speaker, Virgil
Yoder. Virgil will present a documentary through slides and lecture of
the early beginnings of the Yoder family, from St. Joder in Switzerland
to their arrival in America. He includes the struggles the Yoders faced
through the Reformation and traces his Amish family line in America.
According to the Yoder Family Archives web site, Yoder is noted for his
"well-researched, wonderfully photographed, and exceptionally scripted
slide show of Yoder Heritage in the old world.". Executive committee
members who have seen this slide presentation highly recommend it. For
those traveling from a distance, consider spending a night or two in the
Grantsville area. Lodging options at Grantsville include two motels, an
inn, and a bed and breakfast: Holiday Inn (301-895-5993), the Casselman
Hotel (301-895-5055), the Elliott House Victorian Inn (800-272-4090),
and the Walnut Ridge Bed and Breakfast (301-895-4248).

The Building Continues to Take Shape!

Construction on the Yoder House was proceeding at a good pace earlier
this spring with the first floor exterior walls in place and plans to
use the services of a crane to lift the beams for the second floor into
place when a series of tornadoes struck the Grantsville area in late May
and early June. The Yoder House was not directly affected by the
tornadoes, but the property of Kenneth Yoder,s daughter and son-in-law
was severely damaged along with that of a number of others in the area.
The clean-up and rebuilding efforts for those affected by the tornadoes
brought the Yoder House work to a standstill for a number of weeks.
Construction has begun again with the first floor ceiling beams now in
place and the second floor flooring currently being installed. A person
has been hired to work on a regular basis at the building project. He
will be happy to incorporate any volunteer labor, either skilled or
unskilled, you or others may want to contribute. If you or someone you
know would be willing to donate some labor anytime this fall, please
contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Paul H.Yoder, at 301-895-5411.

Fund-Raising Goal of $10,000 by the End of the Year!

At the July 25 House of Yoder Executive Committee meeting it was decided
to set a fund-raising goal of an additonal $10,000 by the end of the
year. This is the amount needed to finish off the $20,000 matching
grant from an anonymous donor towards the building of the Yoder House.
To date, gifts of $10,471 have been credited towards the $20,000
matching grant. All contributions (including membership dues) will be
matched dollar for dollar by this matching grant until we reach the
$20,000 amount. Use the enclosed membership/contribution form to send
your gift to support the Yoder House (payable to "The Yoder House
Project") to Lonnie Yoder, Publicity/Membership Coordinator, Yoder House
Project, 1066 Smith Avenue, Harrisonburg, VA 22802. In addition to
obtaining or extending memberships, you can support the cause by
purchasing doors, windows, and fireplace stones of various sizes in the
Yoder House. There is also an opportunity to contribute in memory or
honor of a family member such as a parent, grandparent, or
great-grandparent. This is a great idea for a family to go together to
honor a loved one and support the Yoder House project. All such family
contributions will be recorded on a loose-leaf page containing the name
and a photograph of your loved one to be placed in a Memorial Book. If
you are interested in a sample copy of this loose-leaf page, please
contact Lonnie Yoder or an executive committee member. Remember that
all contributions to the Yoder House Project are tax-deductible. A
Yoder House brochure is also enclosed with this mailing for your
personal use or to give to a family member whom you think might be
interested in our Yoder House project. If you have need for additional
brochures, please contact Lonnie Yoder or a member of the executive
committee.

House of Yoder Membership Statistics

Currently there are 87 active memberships in House of Yoder, Inc. Those
active memberships divide out as follows: 12 lifetime memberships, 45
five year memberships, and 30 one year memberships. There is an insert
in this mailing for those whose membership expires at the end of 1998.
If your membership expires at the end of the year, you are invited to
renew your membership for the time period you choose. Even if your
membership is not due, an extension of your membership period will
contribute greatly to the matching fund. The mailing list for this
newsletter currently stands at 157. For those whose membership has been
expired for some time, we plan to do a significant pruning of the
mailing list. There are 53 names on the mailing list who fall in this
category. If you want to continue to receive the mailing, but are not
current on your membership, please inform Lonnie Yoder as soon as
possible.

Your Yoder House Executive Committee

Several references have been made to the Yoder House Executive Committee
in this newsletter, so it is appropriate to let you know who constitutes
the 10 member executive committee. Their names and home towns are as
follows: Doris Ours, President, Keyser, WV; Harvey L. Yoder,
Vice-President, Belleville, PA; Edgar Yoder, Treasurer, Grantsville, MD;
Paul H. Yoder, Secretary and Volunteer Coordinator, Grantsville, MD,
Kenneth L. Yoder, Building Superintendent, Grantsville, MD; Lonnie
Yoder, Publicity/Membership Coordinator, Harrisonburg, VA; Lowell
Bender, Bittinger, MD; Gerald Yoder, Woodbury, PA; Phyllis Weaver,
Harrisonburg, VA; and Carl M. Yoders, Flemington, NJ. These persons
have given considerable time and energy to the Yoder House project and
are committed to its completion and opening so that you and your
descendents can benefit from this unique contribution to the Yoder
family story.

Did You Know?

Lowell Bender has been commissioned by the Executive Committee to flesh
out the details of the early history of the Yoder House project. The
idea for the House of Yoder had its origins in 1992. Jack Dueck and
others cultivated that original seed of an idea into the project we now
have nearing completion. At both the first and second annual meetings
Jack reminded us of the story from the book of Joshua in which the
question "What do these stones mean?" is central. These words stand as
a theme for the Yoder House project as well. The stones of the Yoder
House will serve as a reminder to future generations that our heritage
as a family is indeed a long, rich, and storied one.

Hi Chris,

Re: Lonnie Yoder's post to the Yoder list.

It would be easy to turn Lonnie Yoder's "House of Yoder News- Sept. 98"
into HTML format and post it to our website. I envision a link from the
Welcome page under the "Virtual Tour of Steffisburg" link. This could be
a temporary thing, until after Nov 14 when the 3rd Annual meeting is
held, or it could be more permanent. It is somewhat in the nature of an
announcement, so probably we would not want to make it a permanent part
of the archives.

I await your ok to go ahead, or forget the idea.

Chris, you will note I have CC'ed a copy of this to Lonnie. Hope I have
not stirring the pot when I shouldn't have.

Subject: Walt Yoder with the Woody Herman Band

Can anyone identify musician Walt Yoder, who played with the
Woody Herman band in the late 30s...see below

"A child prodigy, Herman sang and tap-danced in local clubs before touring as
a singer in vaudeville. To improve his act he took up the saxophone and later
the clarinet, all by the age of 12. By his mid-teens he was sufficiently
accomplished to play in a band, and he went on to work in a string of dance
bands during the late '20s and early '30s. Last in this line was Isham Jones,
Herman first being in Isham Jones's Juniors, with whom he recorded early in
1936. When Jones folded the band later that year, Herman was elected leader
by a nucleus of musicians who wanted to continue. Initially a co-operative
group, the band included fluegelhorn player Joe Bishop, bassist

Walt Yoder,

drummer Frank Carlson and trombonist Neil Reid. With a positive if
uncommercial view of what they wanted to achieve, they were billed as The
Band That Plays The Blues and gradually built a following during the swing
era. The success of their recordings of 'Golden Wedding,' a Jiggs Noble
re-working of 'La Cinquantaine,' and especially Bishop's 'At The Woodchoppers
Ball $BC (Jhelped the band's fortunes. During the early '40s numerous personnel
changes took place, some dictated by the draft, others by a gradual shift in
style. By 1944 Herman was leading the band which eventually became labelled
as the First Herd. Included in this powerhouse were trumpeters Ray Wetzel,
Neal Hefti and Pete Candoli, trombonist Bill Harris, tenor saxophonist
Joe $BA' (Jlip $BC (JPhillips and the remarkable rhythm section of Ralph Burns, Billy
Bauer, Chubby Jackson and Dave Tough, to which was added vibraphonist
Marjorie Hyams. This band made several records which were not only musically
excellent but were also big sellers, amongst them 'Apple Honey,' 'Caldonia,'
'Northwest Passage' and 'Goosey Gander.' During the next year or so the
band's personnel remained fairly stable, although the brilliant if unreliable
Tough was replaced in late 1945 by Don Lamond, and they continued to make
good records, including 'Bijou,' 'Your Father's Mustache,' 'Wild Root' and
'Blowin Up A Storm.' "

Hi Guys...
This is Deni and here is my line of Joder/Yoder.
If anyone has any additional info, let me know.

********

State/City/Region/:
Huttwill, Switzerland> Steffisburg, Switzerland> Berks
Co. PA> Verrick, New York
Time Period: 1340-1876

This family line starts in Huttwill, Switzerland in 1340 with the
birth of Ulli Joder. He marries Elsi Zaugg (daughter of
Peter Zaugg). They give birth to a Heini Joder .

Heini marries Lani Geber. Heini and Lani Joder have a son named, Jost
Joder, who died in Steffisburg, Switzerland.

We don't know who Jost marries, but he has a son named, Caspar Joder.
Caspar Joder has Caspar Joder II., who marries Margaret Moser (Meya).
In 1525 in Steffisburg, Switzerland, Caspar II and Margaret Moser
give birth to Balthasar Joder.

Balthasar marries Anna Jost, and gives birth to Caspar Joder III in
1548. Caspar Joder III marries Anni Moser on January 11, 1571 in
Steffisburg. They give birth to Caspar Joder IV on February 24, 1571.

Caspar IV marries Margaretha Hennig on July 4, 1596. On March 26,
1609, they have a son, Niclaus Joder in Steffisburg.

Niclaus Joder marries Anna Trachsel on October 14th, 1642. On
September 22, 1650, they have a son, Adam Joder. Sometime in 1680,
Niclaus dies.

Adam Joder married Barbara Ochsenbein (or Ogsenbein) on January 9,
1671. They have a son Yost, who is born on October 5, 1679.

Starting with Yost, the spelling of the surname changes from Joder to
Yoder. Yost marries a woman named Elizabeth, and they have a son in
1735 named, Jacob Yoder.

Jacob Yoder marries Maria Keim. Maria Keim was born in November 1734
in Oley Valley of Berks County, Pennsylvania. This is where we think
the Yoders come from Steffisburg to Pennsylvania. Jacob and Maria
have a son, Daniel Yoder in 1758.

Daniel Yoder marries Esther Hoch (High). They have a son, David Yoder
about 1795 in Pennsylvania. Daniel dies on May 1, 1822 and his wife,
Esther dies earlier in January 7, 1822.

David Yoder marries Catherine Weidner on February 15, 1818. Catherine
Weidner was born in Pennsylvania around 1797. They give birth to
Catharine Yoder around 1829 in Pennsylvania. At some point, the
family moves to Verick, New York, since David dies there on October
17, 1854. His wife, Catherine also dies in Varick, NY.

Their daughter Catharine marries David Fridley, who was born in New
York in 1822, on July 29, 1849. They have a son named Alonzo Fridley,
who is born on December 27, 1851 (1850 according to 1900 Census of
Santa Cruz, CA) in New York. David Fridley dies in Fort Monroe,
Virginia, on October 12, 1864. Catharine dies in 1876.

Alonzo Fridley ends up travels to Santa Cruz, California.

Hi Anthony, I'm guessing you go buy Tony judging by the "Tyoderjr" address.
I have some Amish relatives in the Kalona area that I've never met. They are
something like 2nd and 3rd
cousins on my dad's side. Your Grandfather Weldon's number, YR261173, tells
me we are approximately
3rd cousins. That number refers to your lineage. The YR2 part is the

Subject: Medical Survey-"Dystonia"

The Beth Israel Medical Center is seeking people of Amish/Mennonite
descent who suffer any of the following symptoms;

"involuntary muscle contractions, abnormal movement or twisting of any
part of the body, uncontrolled blinking, neck and head pulling, distorted
speech, deteriorating handwriting, or a turning inward of the foot. These
are characteristics of a neurological disorder which most often does
undiagnosed, called Dystonia".

Through the participation of one large effected family in the Goshen,
Indiana area, the research team has tracked the cause of their symptoms
to a gene mutation somewhere on chromosome 8. Now, more families with
similar background are needed to participate in the research study in
order to pin-point the exact location of the mutated gene. Participation
in either all or part of the study is voluntary, but it would involve, at
least, the donation of blood samples. Any expenses for the participants
would be paid or reimbursed by the Beth Israel Medical Center research
team.

To help in this research leading toward an eventual cure, please contact
one of the following people:

Dear Ms. Smith,

Which John Jackson is this? There is a John Jackson who is buried in the
Payne Cemetery which is near Dolan. His tombstone reads that he died
2/28/1869 when he was about 50 years of age. My oral family history says that
he is my ancestor. However, there is other evidence which suggests that an
Edward Jackson is the ancestor. Would you know of both John and Edward?
Which of these was the father of Nancy Jackson Langley, wife of John Thomas
Langley? Which was the father of Dowl, Bill, Rolla, Catherine, and
Manual/Ranual as well?

Any correspondence or referrals would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Paul Litten

some keepsakes of my grandmother's, I found a journal (1871-1876)of an

No, he was the Church historian for the Belleman's Church...which
was a center of activity for the Frederick family. Thanks to Dr.
Morris Yoder for sharing this sad news. Milton was a guest speaker at one of
the Frederick family reunions several years ago.

Interestingly enough, the early Amish Yoders lived in the same general north
Berks County area and on my own side (Christian Yoder YR2 and YR23) the
homestead was familiar to Mr. Blatt since childhood....I'm sorry I never met
him and had the chance to get a tour from him....after the Yoders sold the
property (200 years or so ago), it later took on the name of Blatt's
(PLatt's) Valley.

He was a past president of the Pennsylvania Sunday School Association and
author of many books of local history.
