Hans Herr was born in 1639. The book was published in 1994 and the sub-title states "from his birth in 1639 to the present time." However,, my line of the Herrs was not followed past the mid 1800s, so I would take his 'present day' claim with a grain of salt. Hans Herr and his family were Mennonite, born in Swizterland, it is thought then moved to the German Palatinate before finally immigrating to the US in 1710 to escape the religious persecution in Europe. Most of the present day descendants are probably still Mennonite, although I suspect not all are.
