Hi Jay: I cannot recall where I got my copy of Virginia Batdorf's book, but it is published by the Mennonite Family Histroy of 18 West Main Street, Elverson, PA. 19520-1071, Copyright 1990. I am not so sure that it will do you that much good because I did a quick check and could not find anything. However, if you went through all the more recent familys you might stumble onto something.
