And ILG, thanks for sharing. I'm really enjoying reading this conversation.

Thank you. It is hard to share but I enjoy it too. I just don't enjoy being pounced for sharing!! (That has not happened here on this thread but has happened on many others!!)

I just finished reading a book about a man who left the OOM that you would enjoy. It's called "Tobias of the Amish" by Ervin R. Stutzman. Ervin is writing in this book about his own father who died when he was just a small child in a car accident.

An Amish book I have not read!! Gasp!! I am now working at the library and I did a search on Amish books. There are a TON of them. I prefer non-fiction to fiction. I have thought with my Amish thoughts and writing that I like to do I could write Amish fiction but there is already so much of the stuff out there.

Have you read Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult? It is not a bad fiction read.

This book is put out by Herald Press. It is a true story. I think you would enjoy it. I'm with you. I read everything Amish that I can get my hands on. I am trying to get a feel for the kind of folks my ancestors might have been, since they were Amish/Mennonite people from Alsace Loraine, France.

Anabaptist... but maybe not Mennonite/Amish Anabaptist?

Steve, have you ever seen this website?
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....it/index2.html
It is very, very interesting. Of course, I'm into genealogy, so maybe it wouldn't be as interesting to you (hehe). But I'm guessing there is a good chance you would find information on lots of your family members on here.

Quakers, Hutterites, Amish, Mennonites, Brethren, Hussites, Bruderhoff and others can trace roots to the Radical Reformation and Anabaptism. (Or the rebaptisers) They, unlike other Reformers insisted on a "believers only" baptism and rejected infant baptism along with papal authority.
I am not so sure there were Amish (possibly Mennonites though) coming to the US from France. I could be wrong of course.

Thanks. I have my complete geneology on both sides dating back to the 1700's when my people came over. I also went to Salt lake and further researched 3 generations prior to the info in the two published books I have. My wife and I and our oldest child are in the books.

I see what you are saying. The area of France that the Stuckey's came from at various times was part of France, OR Germany OR Switzerland. At the time that Pierre Stuckey came, it was part of France, but it did change hands often
All of the records that I've been able to find on Pierre and his immediate children all cite them as being Amish-Mennonite. That's the wording that I find used over and over. Which is why I was/am confused. I know that the Archbold area is very rich in Mennonite folks now and that there is not a settlement of Amish there at all. On the other hand, I also know that some of Pierre's children migrated north to the Irish Hills of Michigan - where there IS a group of Amish living. I don't know tho how long they've been settled there. So I honestly don't know. At the very least, I am completely convinced they were Mennonites. I wonder if there was even such a thing as Old Order Mennonites back in the early 1800's??? Would there have been a need for such a distinction at that time? or is OOM a new thing?
Here's an article I think you will find interesting........
