  • Migration Patterns, Old German Baptist Brethren
    November 10, 1988 Coordinated and Compiled by - Gerald C. Wagoner, Sr. 5110 N. Croft Mill Rd. Bradford, OH 45308 With Assistance From - Gladys (Cool) Royer 25457 C. R. 43 Goshen, IN 46526 & Lowell H. Beachier 1612 W. Grayson Rd. Modesto, CA 9'5359 qs3;i information Pertaining to Old Order River Brethren by - Stephen Scott R#1 - Box 362 Columbia, PA 17512 OLD GERMAN BAPTIST BRTHR: MIGRATION PATTERNS October 17, 1988 In the early years, settlement of the Brethren in the eastern portions of the United States, is very ably told by the various Brethren historians. Included in this sto are ancestors of the Old German Baptist Brethren along with family progenitors of all Brethren groups. While this portion of writing deals directly with genealogical interests and pursuits of Old Order families - we will begin by offering a bit of general information. As Brethren began coming to Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1719 & 179, ever pushing westward to new frontiers, the migration never really stopped until they reached the west coast many decades later. Maryland & Virginia began to be settled before the Revolution and just prior to 1800, members were found as far west as Kentucky, Ohio and even Missouri. Through the Pittsburgh and Ohio River gateways, most of the remaining states were settled. Railroads also played a significant role in colonizing the western states. Our attention will now center around migration patterns and family names of brethren in the Old German Baptist Brotherhood. After Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska were settled, cheap land and new frontiers continued to lure the Lrethren westward as the twentieth century approached.

  • What Are the Plain Anabaptists? -- Anderson
    Who Are the Plain Anabaptists? What Are the Plain Anabaptists? -- Anderson Who Are the Plain Anabaptists? What Are the Plain Anabaptists? Cory Anderson1 OSU Presidential Fellow and Doctoral Candidate in Rural Sociology School of Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University Abstract: I define the plain Anabaptists by answering two essential questions: “Who are the plain Anabaptists” and “What are the plain Anabaptists?” In asking “Who are the plain Anabaptists?” I investigate several dimensions of identity. First, I trace the history of seven religious traditions within Anabaptism: the Swiss Brethren/Mennonites, the Low German/Russian Mennonites, the Hutterites, the Amish, the Brethren, the Apostolic Christian Churches, and the Bruderhof. Second, I explore three categories of people in each group—mainline, conservative, and Old Order—describing the last two as “plain.” Third, I explore scales and indices on which plainness is measured, as well as other measures of who the plain Anabaptist people are. In asking “What are the plain Anabaptists?” I define several ways social scientists conceptualize and describe the plain Anabaptists. I organize the sundry definitions and frames under three categories: the plain Anabaptists as a religious group, as an ethnicity, and as a social system. Keywords: Mennonite, Amish, Brethren, Hutterite, Apostolic Christian, Bruderhof, religious traditions, ethnicity, social system 26 | Page Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies, Volume 1, Issue 1 (April), 2013 Introduction The inauguration

  • Dear Church Family, As the Advent Season Is Upon Us, Let Us Remember the Words to the Old Carol
    Dec em ber 2012 www.centralschwenkfelder.com Phone: (610) 584 -4480 Dear Church Family, As the Advent season is upon us, let us remember the words to the old carol: “Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv’n; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing! O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!” This must have been on the hymn writer’s mind, a reflection of John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

From All of Us, … General Conference Minutes 1782 – 1890 Around 1890 Dr. O.S. Kriebel, Howard W. Kriebel, and S. Agnes Schultz undertook the project to copy into a single volume all of the minutes of meetings that we today would call General Conferences of The Schwenkfelder Church. The hand written minutes of these meetings were kept in manuscript volumes. The Upper and Lower Districts each had a secretary who recorded the minutes when the meeting was held in his district. It appears that he then sent a copy to the secretary of the other district. It seems that after some 100 years of keeping these important church records that they may not have been in the best shape; perhaps there were no longer two complete sets—and so the project was born.
