Genealogy

1990 Article

By genealogy we mean the cultivated study of ancestors, which includes preserving oral traditions in material form and discovering material sources for classification and preservation. The terminological distinction between family history, which encompasses the broad range of events in ancestors' lives, and genealogy, which has frequently been restricted to vital statistics of genetically connected generations, is less applicable to the approaches utilized in the late 20th century. As some genealogical research becomes more sophisticated, documented, and oriented toward the wider historical context, so have some academic historians embraced the field of local or nearby history, utilizing traditional genealogical methods and sources.

In order to begin genealogical research on one's family it is helpful to read an instructional booklet, enrol in a special course, or obtain advice from an expert. This saves much wasted effort and inaccurate record-keeping. Some basic guidelines follow: (1) One should begin at home, literally, with old letters, family Bibles, interviewing relatives, etc. The next steps involve visits to libraries, courthouses, and places where church records are kept. (2) One should not believe the first "facts" heard or read, but write them down accurately; the more sources which provide the same data, the higher possibility of truth. (3) One should not trust one's memory for all the details. Devise an understandable organizational system that can be expanded. (4) Goals and limits to one's projects are necessary so that their rewards can be enjoyed and communicated with others.

Increased genealogical activity among Mennonites has often coincided with similar interests among the general population. Among the factors awakening enthusiasm for genealogy are major group migrations, rapid cultural changes within nuclear families, and increased literary consciousness. However, it is helpful to examine how fundamental theological, historical, and cultural forces have proved fertile ground for thriving Mennonite and Amish genealogical activities.

Anabaptist theology strongly emphasizes face-to-face human interaction as the primary locus of God's grace, rather than mediation through a special ministerial hierarchy responsible for record-keeping. The norm of a disciplined fellowship of adult believers in tension with secular society reinforced pressure for marriage within the group. Above all, intense persecution scattered groups far beyond their origins in Switzerland and The Netherlands, so that the 17th, 18th, and early 19th century saw few converts from different religious and ethnic backgrounds. In the midst of complex migration patterns, relatively stable marriage patterns within subgroups provided some security in a sea of often threatening events.

For the continuously harassed, insular, and rural communities in which European Mennonites and Amish of the Swiss stream lived in the 17th to 19th century, family history provided a powerful, binding set of connections in the context of oral traditions, but church record-keeping was politically dangerous and theologically questionable. In the late 20th century genealogical research on Mennonite and Amish Swiss background is hampered by the lack of church records, except in the case of Amish congregations in the region of Montbéliard and Belfort, France, where two mid-18th century registers have been discovered.

The first permanent American Mennonite settlement at Germantown, Pa. (1683) was made up primarily of Mennonites of Dutch background. However, the major American immigration in the 18th century (primarily to Pennsylvania) and the first half of the 19th century (primarily to regions such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Ontario) ultimately stemmed from Switzerland, often via southern Germany. Though not politically dangerous in America, official church records among these groups were rare until the late 19th century. Diligent research in civil records, oral traditions, family Bible records, and other sources has nonetheless resulted in an impressive body of literature.

Mennonites of the Dutch stream, intensely persecuted for approximately fifty years in the 16th century, and then generously tolerated in their land of origin, became more urbanized, wealthy, and literate than their Swiss counterparts. They kept detailed church records, extant in The Netherlands from the early 17th century and extant from the late 17th century during their sojourn in Prussia. One of the earliest known European Mennonite genealogies, dealing with the influential van der Smissen family of Hamburg, emerged from this stream in 1743. Beginning in 1788-89 some Mennonites left Prussia for Russia, where their separate economic and religious subculture was subject to mass emigration to North America in the 1870s and 1920s. Though church records were kept during these centuries, some have been destroyed or lost during the disruption of war, famine, and persecution.

Intermarriage between the Dutch and Swiss streams was rare before the 20th century and within the many subgroups endogamy, communal migration, and mutual aid practices provided a degree of predictability for later genealogical research. Particular surnames can be associated with certain geographical areas, time periods, and national groups, thus providing possible research avenues where no clear direction otherwise exists.

Rapid change within nuclear families helped induce some people to embrace their Mennonite heritage genealogically when they could no longer do so religiously. The number of important early North American Amish and Mennonite genealogies compiled by people whose adult lives were spent outside the denominations is remarkable. Perhaps their distance, fueled by motivations of nostalgia, guilt, and respect, plus their organizational, financial and literary skills, enabled them to produce these valuable works. For example, Abraham J. Fretz (1849-1912), first a Presbyterian, then a Methodist minister, wrote approximately 13 genealogies on Mennonites in the region north of Philadelphia. Also, Hugh F. Gingerich has collaborated with Rachel W. Kreider, to produce an astonishingly comprehensive work, Amish and Amish Mennonite genealogies (1986).

Genealogical activity varies among European Mennonites. Mennonite historical societies in Switzerland and The Netherlands incorporate genealogy to a lesser degree, perhaps because the ancestors of contemporary Mennonites in these countries did not emigrate. Notwithstanding, many Dutch Mennonite families appear in the genealogical publication, Nederlandsch Patriciaat. The French Mennonite historical society, with considerable non-Mennonite participation, publishes a few family history articles in its annual periodical. The German Mennonite historical society encourages well-documented genealogy by providing a special section in its periodical. Immigration to Germany of Mennonites and Amish from Switzerland, France, and The Netherlands in the 16th and 17th centuries, plus the 20th century influx of Prussian and Russian Mennonites has made Germany the crossroads of European Mennonite genealogy.

North American Mennonite organizations and periodicals emphasizing genealogy has expanded rapidly. Libraries belonging to the Swiss stream report that approximately one half of their genealogical researchers are non-Mennonites with Mennonite ancestors. Similar institutions from the Dutch stream report a much lower percentage of non-Mennonites, probably due to the later immigration of their constituencies and the consequently lower attrition rate out of the Mennonite churches.

Although genealogical research requests do overtax staff members at some Mennonite historical libraries and organizations, the general thrust of increased genealogical activity has broadened the constituency support of Mennonite historical organizations, fostered cooperative research between Mennonites and non-Mennonites, and added to the fund of printed sources which historians, especially congregational historians, may use in the future.

While most written genealogies among Mennonites come from North America and Europe, family history is vitally important for many of the rapidly growing number of Mennonites on other continents. For example, in Africa the individual's identity is intimately tied with his or her clan membership and the generational links that define it. African Mennonites, too, possess this interest motivated by the whole culture rather than any sense of religious identity as a Mennonite. Tensions have arisen when first-generation Mennonites or Mennonites from Europe or North America perceive Asian or African concerns for clan ancestry as unbiblical ancestor worship.

Genealogical research about Mennonites in the future will bring new challenges. Presently, Old Order Amish, Old Colony Mennonites, Old Order Mennonites and other traditionalist groups exhibit stable genetic interaction. However, a growing Mennonite global community of many racial and ethnic strains, the shifting of previous conference boundaries, and the proliferation of inter-Mennonite agencies eventually will affect genealogies. The vast storehouses of computerized records of minute details about people in industrialized societies will provide much fodder for genealogists, but to future genealogical research on Mennonites, the familiar litany of names and places will never sound quite the same.

By 1999 computer databases of Mennonite genealogical information began to emerge. The California Mennonite Historical Society in 1997 issued a second edition of the Genealogical Registry and Database of Mennonite Ancestry (GRANDMA) containing 267,000 names of Russian Mennonite names; and the Ohio Michigan Indiana Illinois Genealogy Project (OMII) included 200,000 names of Amish and Pennsylvania German Mennonite names. -- David J.

Genealogy and family history are closely related and often combined in the same study. While genealogy is part of family history, not all family history is genealogy. The following bibliography of Mennonite genealogies includes published books in which ancestors and descendants are listed in the natural order of succession. In some instances the books listed are basically family history rather than genealogy, but genealogical charts accompany the book. In the American section of the bibliography titles have been included only if the progenitors in America were Mennonite; there has been no attempt to include every genealogy in which a Mennonite appears. The American section has been based upon the historical collections at Bethel College, North Newton, Kansas; Bluffton College, Bluffton, Ohio; and Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana, checked against some lists from other libraries and private collections. The Dutch and German sections were based upon these same collections, the 1919 Catalogus of the [[Amsterdam Mennonite Library (Bibliotheek en Archief van de Vereenigde Doopsgezinde Gemeente te Amsterdam)|Amsterdam Mennonite Library]], Adolf Schnebele's unpublished bibliography of German Mennonite imprints, and information supplied by individuals in these countries. The total number of titles (available in 1955) listed is 310; 265 North American, 30 Dutch, 15 German.

It is immediately evident that much more genealogical work has been done by American than by European Mennonites. This may be explained in part by the natural starting point which the American genealogist finds in the date of arrival in America of the progenitor of the family. In America the first books to appear were those related to the Levering and Schnebele families, both appearing in 1858. From 1870 to the present there has been a continuous growth in American Mennonite genealogical publication with an early peak in the 1890's and a slight recession during the 1930's. The early peak in the 1890's was due to the intense research of one man, A. J. Fretz, a Presbyterian minister-farmer, who compiled eleven genealogies of Mennonite families published between the years 1890 and 1906, many of which he published privately. These books ranged in size from 80 to more than 870 pages and contained an amazing amount of information concerning many of the individuals listed. It was not unusual to find in the Fretz genealogies rather complete biographical sketches of persons who contributed in a special way to church and community. The number of families which Fretz treated was possible in part because of interlocking family relationships, but even so his work was monumental for one individual.

Interestingly, the increase in the number of American genealogies published from the 1930s-1950s can be attributed to two distinct groups—families which are predominantly Amish Mennonite (Old Order) and the families of descendants of Mennonite immigrants from Russia since 1873. Before 1930 this latter group was represented by only one small booklet (Deckert family), probably published before 1895. No further genealogies from this group appeared until 1930, with the majority published after 1948. It is evident that genealogical research among the descendants of these immigrants from Russia has been spurred by the imminent passing of the last generations born in Russia.

The bibliography includes materials ranging from broadsides printed on one side to volumes of more than one thousand pages. Some give little more than names and relationships. Others include data as to place of residence, occupation, church membership, and significant accomplishments. Most report life dates of individuals. A few are profusely illustrated with photographs of members of the family, notably the Brillhart book.

Since many of the genealogies were published privately, they often lack important bibliographic features. It has been very difficult to state the place of publication accurately in many instances. The place of printing may be given, but it is obvious that the printer is not the publisher. A book may have a title page bearing one title, while the binder's title may be completely different and the better known of the two. The author's name as given on the title page may differ from that given in the body of the genealogy. The date of publication is often lacking. In many instances title page information is supplied on the cover only. In others, title page information is completely lacking.

Just as the genealogies vary in quality, they vary in ease of use. Some have ingenious numbering systems to show relationships. No numbering system, however, can take the place of a careful and complete index which locates every individual in the genealogy. Indexes are completely lacking in some of the books. Others index only those persons who are in the blood line and heads of families. Many break up the genealogy into branches of the family with a separate index for each. Indexing may not follow strict alphabetic principles. It is evident that compilers of genealogies are in urgent need of an advisory service to help them plan some of the details of their books before publication. -- Nelson P. Springer

Kurt Kauenhowen of Gottingen, Germany, has devoted a great deal of time to research in Mennonite family history, particularly the Mennonite families of West Prussia . His "Das Schrifttum zur Sippenkunde und Geschichte der taufgesinnten niederländischen Einwanderer (Mennoniten) in Altpreussen und ihrer Abzweigungen" in Mitteilungen der Niederländischen Ahnengemeinschaft e.V., 1:66-109 (May 1939) includes 34 references to monographs and articles on 21 Mennonite families. In 1954 he compiled a manuscript bibliography of materials relating to 101 "nordostdeutschen" Mennonite families, including branches of these families which had migrated to Russia and to North America. Most of his entries are periodical articles, many of them from his own Mitteilungen (seeEpp above). Walther Risler, in his "Quellen zur Geschichte der Krefelder Mennonitenfamilien" in Beiträge zur Geschichte rheinischer Mennoniten (Weierhof, Pfalz, 1939), lists materials relating to 17 Mennonite families in Krefeld. Many of the items he lists are articles published in Die Heimat: Mitteilungen des Vereins far Heimatkunde in Krefeld, 1921-? (Krefeld). In Mennonite Quarterly Review, April 1949, Gustav Reimer reports extensive West Prussian Mennonite genealogical materials which he was able to take with him on his flight from Marienburg in 1945. The exact location of these materials in 1955 was not known. -- NPS
