Amish and Mennonite families are often romanticized in modern literature and television series. However, their backgrounds, though similar, have beliefs that keep them separate. The Amish and the Mennonites are often grouped together. And, while they have some similarities, including their roots in religion, there are distinct differences.

Fabulous webinar! What a treasure trove of knowledge. I am trying to find the parents of my 3rd ggf, and it’s been a needle-in-a-haystack endeavor. I have a few leads into the Mennonite community in Lancaster County, Penn., so this was extremely enlightening. Thanks so much, Peggy!
Peggy does a fabulous job. So much information and such great delivery.

This was great. So much information.
I took lots of notes & found the maps to be fascinating.
To my knowledge, I don’t have any Amish or Mennonite ancestors, but the explanation and comparison of the religions was very helpful. I feel like I have a better understanding.
Totally enjoyed the history as well as ideas on how to research. Thank you.
Absolutely fascinating material which is making me rethink where one line of our family came from.
Very informative and wonderful pictures.
VERY informative!
Very informative.
Very interesting, although I was expecting a little more historical information. Peggy’s theme was different and well done and I learned several new things. My ancestry goes back to Bucks County, PA Mennonites in colonial times so that
is what attracted me to the webinar.
Very interesting, Peggy was well versed in her subject and you can tell that she loves to do the research. Thanks for this wonderful way to spend an evening.
Will need to re-watch this fantastic webinar, it was brilliant.

Great historical information but would have like more on the researching part of it.
Great information. Thanks!
Great Presentation with total historical coverage
Great webinar on researching Amish and Mennonite genealogy.
I have a whole line of Mennonite/Amish ancestors through my Grandmother Showalter( Switzerland/Germany/Lancaster co Pennsylvania/Wayne Co Ohio and Grundy Co Illinois) and I was glad to hear all the history. That was most important to me!
I loved the historical background!
I work in Amish and Mennonite genealogy all the time … and I learned some things. Peggy did a good job, overall.
It was wonderful. As for the starting comments, my reply would be, “How can you have genealogy without history?”
Lots of very interesting historical information to help separate the different Anabaptist groups. Thanks so much!
Love Peggy’s talks!
Loved all the historical info
Miss Peggy is always fun to listen to.
