Wayne, I too know there are many mistakes in the BE since I've been doing research on the Dunkard Brethren for the past 16 years. I was very saddened when I received my copies of the first three BE books. I would say that a good 2/3 of the history on biographies, autobiographies and churches of the Dunkard Brethren, were never searched out and therefore never recorded. According to family heirs and added resources, some info. listed is not correct either.   Still plugging away at research, Shirley (Stump) Frick     > Wayne, > I know there are mistakes in my ancestors in the BE.  I haven't looked > anything up for years, but have discounted some info because I know of > errors and to tell the truth I cannot even remember what they were.
