Hi, I did a search in this forum using Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society and didn't come up with anything, so I figured that I would bring some attention to it. I not affialitated with it or trying to promote any of the business or any politics of it.

I just wanted to say that if anyone was interested in visiting Lancaster co and was aware of a Mennonite lineage in your family and wanted to know more this is the place to go. I was able to trace my ancestors back to the mid/late 1600s!!

Anyway not the best post but maybe others here have stuff they might want to add or something :)

I was just in Lancaster on Wednesday~I've heard of the place; I'm not from this side of the Mississippi River and my wife has a cousin that has used this resource to trace back to about the same timeframe...a lot of people are interested in genealogy and places like this sure do a lot to help.
