Mennonite Genealogy

If you are researching your Mennonite ancestors, you may want to keep some things in mind. First, you may find many of the genealogy sites linking the Mennonite history with the Amish; your search may be a bit more complicated because of the additional resources you must wade through. Some of your relatives may have been Mennonite and then became Amish when the Amish separated from the Mennonite Church in the late 1600's. Therefore, when doing a search for your Mennonite relatives who then became Amish, or Amish relatives who became Mennonite, you may want to search both Amish and Mennonite genealogical sites for information and surname searches.
