Genealogy
| 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. | |

This volume provides a rich interpretive story of how Mennonites have
preserved their identity through the 20th century. Paul Toews examines ways
progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture
through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies,
building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism.
Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that
permit economic integration and social isolation. An in-depth look at how
Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people
than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.

Autobiography
| The 16 Mennonite writers of this book were Depression-era babies who amid experiencing World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, and the Cold wars, helped Eastern Mennonite College (now University) and North American Mennonites develop more global perspectives and commitments. As their frame of reference shifted from the rural to the professional, many of these writers assumed key roles in leading and shaping Mennonite institutions. For all of them, serviceÑto church, community, worldÑwas an imperative. In their time of social change, Anabaptism offered these sixteen individuals an explanation of what they believed and how to live. These remarkable accounts reflect the experiences and stories similar to those of hundreds of Mennonites whose lives were changed during this disruptive era. By confronting their own beliefs and faith practices, they gradually transformed the Mennonite church. No more could Mennonites be "the quiet in the land. Authors include Esther K. Augsburger, Myron S. Augsburger, Titus W. Bender, James R. Bomberger, Gerald R. Brunk, Ray Gingerich, Samuel L. Horst, Albert N. Keim, C. Norman Kraus, Nancy V. Lee, Harold D. Lehman, John R. Martin, Paul Peachey, Calvin W. Redekop, Calvin E. Shenk. Note that this Cascadia edition of Making Sense of the Journey is nearly the same as the edition released earlier by Anabaptist Center for Society & Religion. ACRS and Cascadia are offering this Cascadia edition to enhance the significant distribution and promotional efforts ACRS is already making on behalf of its publications.

period of Mennonite history. | |

Women
| Female voices are rare in the historical record of the Mennonites. nevertheless, Mennonite women were influential in shaping Mennonite and Canadian society. Mennonite Women in Canada, the first comprehensive history of Mennonite women, traces their role over the past two hundred years. Marlene Epp explores women's roles within the contests of immigration, family, church life, work, education, and social life. Comparing how Mennonites dictate women's "place" within society with how women actually behave, Epp finds a contradiction between behavioral ideals and practicalities. Also women's responses to dictates about their proper place vary widely, unsettling a clear delineation of their roles. Using diaries, oral histories, genealogies and memoirs, Epp presents a fascinating story of Canadian Mennonite women. Copyright 2008 University of Manitoba Press | |

| The nighttime massacre of 136 innocent Mennonites at
Eichenfeld/Dubovka (Novopetrovka) on Oct 26 to 27, 1919, and elsewhere
in the Nikolaipole volost during the years 1918-1920, was one of the
numerous atrocities of the Russian revolution and civil war. The
victims were pacifist men, women and children, neither partisans nor
combatants, but peaceful villagers and visiting evangelists. The
horror and insecurity of the times did not permit the dead of
Eichenfeld to be openly mourned. Unwashed, they were hastily buried in
shallow graves before surviving family members and villagers fled into
nearby Mennonite villages. This volume tells the story of the
massacre. It includes eyewitness accounts and reminiscences by
Mennonites and Ukrainians, as well as an analysis of the origins and
roots of the event and reflections on its legacy. Copyright 2004
