What a wonderful inside look of Amish life! It was a complete surprise to me when I purchased this book, as I was expecting just to find out about how the Amish treat common ailments with what is on hand. Instead, I found a treasure of information on life, religion, health, family, etc. One nice bonus is the recipes in the back. I haven't made any yet, but some look absolutely delicious!
Pennsylvania German Church Records of Births, Baptisms, Marriages, Burials, Etc. Volume 1 by Don Yoder
Excellent source for vital record in colonial times for Lancaster County and Philadelphia Pennsylvania in German Lutheran and Reformed churches.
Excellent resource for Pennsylvania vital records extracted from church records, colonial newspapers, clergy journals, county marriage bonds, baptisms, etc.
Pennsylvania German Immigrants, 1709-1786 : lists consolidated from yearbooks of the Pennsylvania German Folklore Society by Don Yoder
The author has provided heretofore unavailable English translation of materials giving detail on the individual side of German emigration from Wuerttemberg, the County of Wertheim, Zwebruecken in the Palatinate and from the Canton of Schaffhausen to the American Colonies, including genealogical and social-historical particulars. Mr. Yoder's focus is for the German-speaking groups making up the German culture in Pennsylvania.
