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.)
This volume, with more than twenty-four noted contributors, offers possible evidence of ancient immigrants, lost technologies, and places of power in ancient America long before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. While digging out basements near Los Angeles, homeowners unearth a 3,000-year-old Phoenician altar. A treasure-hunter in Ohio finds more than he expected when his metal detector locates an eastern Mediterranean pendant from 1000 BCE. Two caches of coins minted in Imperial Rome surface along the Ohio River. These are just a few of the examples that illustrate theories that there were foreign influences shaping the prehistory of the Americas.
Nestled between the plains of the Sacramento Valley and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, on the western margin of Amador County, is the beautiful region surrounding Ione and the Jackson Valley. Described as two of the most attractive and fertile areas of the Central Sierra region, both have been home to farmers, ranchers, and merchants for more than 150 years. From the thriving little town of Ione to the "four corners" gathering place known as Buena Vista, the region remains a favorite for residents and tourists alike. Recreational attractions such as the historic Preston Castle and Lakes Camanche, Pardee, and Amador lure visitors from both near and far.
John Brubaker (ca. 1750-ca. 1825) was born in Germany and probably immigrated to America as a boy with his parents. He married Anna Myers, daughter of Jacob Meyer, in 1774, in Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They had eight children, 1775-1794. The family migrated to Franklin County, Virginia, ca. 1789; and moved to Botetourt County, Virginia, ca. 1804. Descendants lived in Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, California, and elsewhere.
