Someone asked me recently if we actually come from Amish heritage or if we just use that for storytelling.
•
Our Amish and Mennonite ancestors immigrated to the U.S. as German and Swiss Anabaptists fleeing religious persecution in the late 1700’s and 1800’s. They then moved to Ohio and settled in the Amish community there in the 1800’s.
•
My Father was raised in the Amish church and my Mother in the Mennonite church, and upon their marriage in 1940 they both joined the conservative Mennonite church. This is the plain lifestyle in which I was raised.
•
I left the Mennonite church at age 23, but our extended family on both sides is still in the Amish and Mennonite culture. So, yes, that is our heritage.
