Cover... Related Items Software History | GRANDMA (The Genealogical Registry and Database of Mennonite Ancestry) is a project of the Historical Society's Genealogy Project Committee. Distributed on CD-ROM, this volume of the database contains 941,465 names and 292,406 families of persons whose ancestral lines can be traced to Mennonite communities in Poland and Russia. It is not necessary to purchase previous editions in order to use a newer volume, since all genealogical data from the first volumes is included on the fifth. The database is designed to be used with existing commercial genealogy software programs. We strongly recommend Brother's Keeper, which is distributed as shareware on the CD-ROM in both DOS and Windows version. There is a $45.00 fee if you decide to register a copy of Brother's Keeper, that is paid directly to Brother's Keeper. The database may be used with other programs capable of importing GEDCOM files, though many of these programs cannot import databases as large as GRANDMA. To use GRANDMA on your computer, you will need a DOS or Windows system with a CD-ROM drive and at least 125 MB available hard drive space. | |
| The Earth is the Lord's: A Narrative History of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference | View shopping basket | |
| by John Ruth | ||
|
hardcover with paper jacket, 1,300 pages, $69.95 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items History Lancaster County | Until now, the lush fields of the largest Mennonite community
outside Europe have not been matched by a richness of recorded memory.
An earlier general history of Lancaster Conference (1931) made little
attempt to explain the community's ancestry. In The Earth is the
Lord's, however, a story-laden past unfolds dramatically.
Starting with the 1614 execution of Hans Landis in Zurich, the narrative explores troubles in Bern and follows Anabaptists to Alsace and the Palatinate, and on to America, as the future Lancaster County's first Mennonists arrive in Philadelphia in 1710. The story reaches to 1977, when Lancaster Mennonite Conference adopted a new constitution. The fruit of much patient work by family historians and computer-aided genealogists finds its way into this story. John Ruth adds folk memory to extensive documentation and careful explanation of key beliefs and practices, painting a picture of unprecedented detail, enriched by photos (240), maps (23), illustrations, index, extensive bibliography and notes. This book is an indispensable source on its subject, with lists of early immigrants, congregations, ordinations, and conference officers up to 1977, and a general chronology. Copyright 2001. | |

paperback, 633 pages, $12.95 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Fiction Lancaster County | Annie was born into a Mennonite home in Indiana. In 1892, when
she was eight years old, she moved east with her family as her parents
returned to their native Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The rapidly
changing world was shaped by two World Wars, a Great Depression, two
divisions in her Mennonite church, and a multitude of scientific
discoveries and inventions which revolutionized the everyday lives of
ordinary people. The days of Annie's personal life were colored by sorrow and joy, poverty prosperity, sickness and health, disappointment and triumph. How did she manage to change with the times without changing? Where did she find the strength to continue when her personal world caved in and collapsed? Copyright 2003 | |
