From Tyler's quarterly historical and genealogical magazine.
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
The book rings with the names of early inhabitants and prominent citizens. For the genealogist there is the important and wholly fortuitous list of tithables of Pittsylvania County for the year 1767, which enumerates the names of nearly 1,000 landowners and property holders, amounting in sum to a rough census of the county in its infancy. Additional lists include the names, some with inclusive dates of service, of sheriffs, justices of the peace, members of the House of Delegates, 1776-1928, members of the Senate of Virginia, 1776-1928, clerks of the court, and judges.
Leigh Coleman had been abducted and missing for four days until she escaped and was discovered badly injured and unconscious in an abandoned cornfield. Her abductors arent aware that Leigh has no recollection of the incident and make several attempts to silence her forever. Detective George Stokes has only one clue but before he can approach his suspects they disappear and take the only piece of evidence that connects them to the crime. Unless Leigh remembers those missing days the Detective cant make an arrest even if he finds his suspects. Will Leighs memory return before its too late or will her abductors get to her first?
