About the Book

The Reuben Yoder Family and Its Ancestry was first published in 1983 and distributed during the 70th anniversary of a family reunion held in 1913, the year following the death of the family patriarch, Reuben Yoder (1831-1912). Reuben Yoder was an Amish Mennonite, the son and grandson of Amish Bishops in Somerset County, PA. He collected extensive records on the descendants of his own grandfather, Bishop Christian Yoder Sr. In this revision to the 1983 work, author Chris Yoder, who went on to edit The Yoder Newsletter for 30 years, adds information to the chapters on Reuben and his Yoder ancestors, coming downward from the immigrant Christian Yoder who arrived in Philadelphia Sept. 21, 1742. He also draws upon the 30 years of Yoder family research in the production of The Yoder Newsletter (see: www.yodernewsletter.org) to present the latest word on the relationships between the various Yoder immigrants to America, and on what is known on the Anabaptist Joder family of Steffisburg, Switzerland in the 1680s and 90s and its relationship to Jakob Amman and other Anabaptist leaders of that time. This new edition was inspired by the Centennial Reunion of the Reuben Yoder family, which will be held in Shipshewana, Indiana in July 2013.
