Sarah, I know the Church of the Bretheran (Dunkers) today have an active web site. However, I don't know the URL. A Google search will probably turn it up. I didn't keep it because it didn't offer any insights into the Dunkers of NC (near the Moravian settlement). What did help was knowing that they have a Journal that has some historical records in it, but I don't know how to get copies. Perhaps thru Persi on Heritage Quest. My ancestor was Dunker Elder Peter Schmidt Sr., from his son Peter Jr. These URLs were sent to me by someone named Nancy. Maybe they can help. > Protestant Denominations Established in Colonial America: > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Egentutor/protest.html > > Religious Groups in America, 1800 - 2000: > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Egentutor/religion.html > > Index to Primitive Baptist Church and Family History Research: > http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/Index.html > > Betty Pace In a message dated 5/27/05 8:27:54 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Betty, thanks for your info. Do I understand right that the Dunkards were yet another German religious group in the county? Anyone know about Dunkard records and their availability? In my area (SW Virginia), this group is also know as German Baptist. Although not being orginially from this area, I'm not sure if this is because they are the same religious/cultural group or because other people don't know the difference. This group wears the clothing similar to the Amish but many do use at least some modern conveniences and even the women take jobs in the local workforce. Sarah Goodman ______________________________
