The Beachy Family
Peter Beachy (1725-1805) and his family immigrated from Switzerland to Baltimore County, Maryland before 1768, and in 1783 moved to Somerset (then Bedford) County, Pennsylvania. Descendants (many were old Amish, many were Mennonites) lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and elsewhere. Some immigrated to Ontario and else- where in Canada.
The Daniel Beachy Family of Aurora, West Virginia
Daniel Beachy (1820-1897), son of Jonas Beach and Sarah Gnagey of Springs, Pennsylvania, married Elizabeth Yoder (1825-1892) in 1847. She was the daughter of Jacob and Gertrude Blough Yoder of Summit Mills, Pennsylvania. In 1853 Daniel and Elizabeth moved to Aurora, West Virginia. Ancestry traced to Hans Büttschi of Reutigen, Switzerland who married Margaret Zum Bach in 1647. Descendants lived in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Iowa, Ohio, and elsewhere.
The Amish
The Amish movement, whose members live in 19 states of Canada and Central America are a mystery to just about everyone except themselves. Here is a group which has deliberately passed on just about everything modern society has to offer, extending as far as electricity, gasoline, television, automobiles and movies. Yet Amish children are not educationally deprived in any way and regularly score above average on standardised tests. This book presents background information including a bibliography on this most interesting movement and includes also a review of Supreme Court rulings related to the Amish.
Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies
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 1995 Genealogy Annual
The Genealogy Annual is a comprehensive bibliography of the year's genealogies, handbooks, and source materials. It is divided into three main sections. FAMILY HISTORIES-cites American and international single and multifamily genealogies, listed alphabetically by major surnames included in each book. GUIDES AND HANDBOOKS-includes reference and how-to books for doing research on specific record groups or areas of the U.S. or the world. GENEALOGICAL SOURCES BY STATE-consists of entries for genealogical data, organized alphabetically by state and then by city or county. The Genealogy Annual, the core reference book of published local histories and genealogies, makes finding the latest information easy. Because the information is compiled annually, it is always up to date. No other book offers as many citations as The Genealogy Annual; all works are included. You can be assured that fees were not required to be listed.
