Hello, Tom Stevens, the list owner, suggested that new members write something about their interest in Elkhart County genealogy so here goes. I am a direct descendant of Abraham Yoder (YB13) (1747-1820) who lived in Pennsylvania. Recently I started a project to find all his descendants including the female lines. This lead me to discover that many of his descendants migrated to Elkhart County. I don't have any primary sources for them but have been using the following sources from the Internet to establish who these descendants are: Census data Yoder Family Archives - http://www.yodernewsletter.org/ Mennobits - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mennobit/ Elkhart Public Library's online Obituary Index to the Elkhart Truth - http://www.elkhart.lib.in.us/cgi-bin/index5.pl?&file=obit_db.html#database "Holdeman Descendants..." Edwin L. Weaver (E. V. Publishing House, Nappanee, Indiana 1937) Some of you have already helped me by answering a query about Olive Cemetery which I posted on the Elkhart County Rootsweb Message Board. Look forward to sharing information and learning more about genealogy in Elkhart County. Anna Belle Emery, Tucson, Arizona
