Greetings from beautiful Portland Oregon. Sorry I'm late but I just got back in town. I was only going to post my paternal line but since Chris is declaring "winners" here are 8 lines instead.

Yost H Yoder (#5 above) My parents were Amish, my mother from Hutchinson and my father from Kalona Ia. but left the Amish just a few months before I was born. Though am I am very proud of my heritage, I can't say that I'm disappointed they left. I'm much more comfortable in front of a computer then behind the wheel of a tractor or a plow horse :) I was born in Hutchinson Ks. (not too far from the town of Yoder) and lived there for 12 years. After a couple close calls with tornadoes, many years of hot summers and cold winters, and a vacation to the west coast in `78 convinced my parents that Oregon was truly God's country. Three months later the family packed up and moved to the small Oregon town of Willamina which is about half way between Salem and the coast. I moved to the Portland area in `85 to go to school after which I got a job and never left. I was glad to read cousin Jacki's roll call and information about the origin of the town of Yoder Or. (which isn't very far from here). I cannot not count the number of times someone has asked me if I'm related to the Yoder's in that area and until now I never knew what the answer was.
