Were Mennonite marriages forbidden in Switzerland? A family genealogist (amateur) telle ms this is so. I have several family lines stemming from Switzerland, most of them Mennonite, all of them married there according to records I haven't checked yet. I am paying someone to search records now ...will there be any marriages? If they did not recognize Mennonite marriages, were the children of such unions considered illegitimate? Or did all the Mennonites have civil ceremonies? Any reading material you can recommend, I will find. Thanks, Jan Hall
