Derald Morgan Wolf Brethren is about the Ancestors and Descendants of Jacob and Hannah Kinsey Wolf. The Wolf family immigrated to America in 1727 on the ship William and Sarah settling with German Palatinates in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A documented story of Jacob Wolf a teamster and his wife Hannah Kinsey whose mother was captured by the Indians and father who was in the Lancaster County Pennsylvania Militia during the American Revolution.

From Ohio the Wolf family dispersed to Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota, Idaho, Washington, California and even to Alberta, Canada. Included in the work are 97,771 text records about 6518 individuals with 1566 surnames and 2191 marriages, spanning 17 generations with an average lifespan of 55 years 2 months.
