About this ebook

"An authentic history, from original sources, of their suffering during several centuries before and especially during the two centuries following the Protestant Reformation, and of their slow migration, moved by those causes, during the last mentioned two hundred years, westward in quest of religious freedom and their happy relief in the Susquehanna and Schuylkill valleys in the new world; with particular reference to the German-Swiss Mennonites or Anabaptists, the Amish and other non-resistant sects"--Title page.

Despite the inconsistencies in the spelling of surnames (my forebears' surname was spelled differently in three places in the book but at least grouped together under one reference in the index) this book is a valuable genealogical reference for anyone searching for information on Mennonite or other Swiss German colonial ancestors.
