Listers: If I might add my two cents about the wonderful www.lmhs.org ....they have available many obituaries from the Lancaster County area (mostly from the 20th century) and they can be ordered by mail at a very reasonable;e cost. I recently ordered quite a few and they have been most helpful in my family history research.

Keep in mind that Mennonites, like other Anabaptist groups (Amish, Brethren, Dunkards, etc.), did not baptize children. You will not find any baptism records. I'm not sure about today, but in the early years the Anabaptist marriages were recorded among the records of other churches - usually Lutheran or Reformed. This often leads to the misidentification of the couple as something other than Anabaptist. I took a quick glance through the book "Church and Cemeteries of Lancaster Co" and found that records for the Mennonite and Brethren churches (at least the 5 or 6 I looked up) don't begin until the 20th century. Anabaptists came here with a history of persecution, so that may have influenced their early record-keeping. As previously mentioned, the Mennonite Historical Society is the best place to begin your search. It is located in Lancaster, but its records include York Co and beyond. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Silvey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 11:41 PM Subject: [PAYork] Mennonite records of early York County and LancasterCounties > Dear PAYork Listers, > > > > Could someone enlighten me on the availability of Mennonite records, > marriage, baptism, etc. for the time period of early 1700's York to about > 1810?

Do such records exist in this society? I'm needing some guidance in locating the best sources for Mennonite records of the York area or possibly of Lancaster. I am researching a Daniel Kindig who is possibly related to Henry Kindig of Hellam Twp. The Henry Kindig property was in close proximity of the Kreutz Creek Church and early records do not show a Kindig affiliation to this local congregation. Daniel Kindig married Susannah Weigle in 1803 at Christ Lutheran in York City but I've not found the Kindig family with strong ties to this Lutheran congregation either. We believe Daniel and Susannah later removed to Cumberland Co by 1810 but family traditions show some of the first children should have been born in York. As I continue to ferret out other information about the Kindig family I am very aware of the Lancaster Co. families and the possible tie in to Martin Kindig who came to Lancaster Co about 1710 or his brother Jacob who came later in 1717. These people were some of the early Mennonites as I'm beginning to understand the local history. Probate records in Lancaster Co. reveal that Henry Kindig of Hellam Twp. was from Lancaster and that he received a large inheritance of property from his father George, this same property had been bequeathed to George from his father George as well. Henry sold his property in 1779 and in that same year he is found on the tax lists in York in Hellam twp.

I am in a quandary over a Samuel Hake born about 1809-1812 in Chanceford Twp. He was the son of William Hake who died at the young age of 35 in 1823. William left his wife Catherine with 5 small children all were under the age of 10 in 1820. I have not been able to locate a marriage record or birth records for their children. However, via Orphans court documents, I have been able to find the names of the children. >From this record Samuel appears to have been the eldest son and was sent to live with his Uncle Conrad Hake. He does not up in any census records. There is a birth record for a Susanna Hake born 1834 to a Samuel and Elizabeth Hake. It is possible this may be a different Samuel. He is laid to rest at St Lukes Cemetery as a Veteran of the Civil War. Her died at the battle of Petersburg , VA. There does not appear to be a pension record for him. So either he was never married or his wife was dead before him. Just wondering if there are any others working on the Hake and allied families of Chanceford & Windsor Twp.
