Welcome to the Church of the Brethren Network of Genealogy & History resources. Perhaps you are like many people, desiring to know more about themselves by getting to know their ancestors. We hope that our resources will offer you a place to start. Review our lists, individual contributions, or surf to other genealogical and historical web sites. You may just find that long lost ancestral link to your family tree. Our genealogy section is divided into five documents: Church Records, Miscellaneous Lists, other genealogical Web Sites, Libraries, and Photographs having genealogical archives. Each section offers a very different resource for locating your ancestors, heritage, ethnic culture, and historical traditions. You may also wish to review Brethren Groups in order to distinguish the many sub-groups using the word Brethren in their denominational title. Thanks for stopping by. We hope you enjoy our resources, and perhaps today you will find that elusive ancestral link!

MRS. HARRIET KLINE DIED MONDAY
Mrs. Harriet Kline of this village died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Paul, in Dowagiac, on Monday night. Harriet Yeck was born near Greencastle ,Pennsylvania, May 3, 1837. When she reached the age of 12, she moved with her parents to Logan County, Ohio, and was married March 13, 1859, to Samuel Kline at Bellefontaine, Ohio. To this union were born eleven
children, the following of whom are still living: Mrs. Martin Gebhard, Mrs. C. E. Osborn, Mrs. E. H. Miller, Mrs. Arthur Paul and two sons, John and Fred. She was grandmother to sixteen children and great grandmother to eight. The deceased, with her husband, moved to Michigan in the early sixties and to Cassopolis in the year 1876, where she resided ever since, Mr. Kline having passed away Nov. 13, 1913. To know Mrs. Kline's sterling qualities and her calm, kindly and brave disposition, was to love her from whom they eminated. A Dunkard by faith, she was charitable and considerate of the thoughts of others. She was conscientious to a degree, full of gentle courage and great fortitude. She met the trials of her life as she met death- bravely and courageously, never fearing, never complaining. To her death was only a journey and she was glad to go. The world was better for her having passed through it. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of Mrs. C. E. Osborn, conducted by Rev. J. W. Springsteen, and burial will be made in Prospect Hill cemetery.
[The Cassopolis Vigilant Thursday, August 25, 1921]

Anna Maria Seifertin
Lettering 1
Lettering 2
I have a kas I am trying to gather information on. It was made for Anna Maria Seifertin, 1820. I know that an Anna Seifertin appears in the Register of the Ephrata Community (1772) and wondered how I go further to establish (or not) lineage. The kas was purchased about 15 years ago in York, PA and I am enclosing pictures of the piece which has German text. Although the
text is in two parts it should be read as if butting up first to second. Thanks for any and all direction you may be able to offer.

I have a Photograph that may connect to a Brethern group. I would appreciate help with identifying it. My reason for believing that these people may be
Brethern is because my grandfather, Lonnie C. Malcolm, attended a Brethern church in Fairmont, Mn. in the early 1900's. His parents, Joseph P. and Laura (Flesher) Malcolm, were born in Highland Cty, Va. in an area called Doe Hill. They moved to Illinois in the 1880's and lived in the rural Bloomington area. They are buried in Whetstone Cemetery, Coles Cty, Ill. I believe that one of the Flesher family donated land near Bloomington to build a Brethern church around the turn of the century. The man holding the baby was identified as (probably) Lonnie Malcolm. The man standing directly behind him, as Joseph P. Malcolm. We don't know who the others might be. The Photo appears to be circa 1905-6. There is a notation on the edge that says: "Sutter 12 council". I believe that one of the Malcolm lines has a marriage to a Sutter who was a member of the Brethern. Also note: Flesher is often spelled Fleisher or Fleischer in old documents. By the time of my birth in 1942, our family was attending a Methodist Church, so any Brethern contact was lost.
Thank you, so much, for any suggestions.

Hope you can help me-I came across a note my father had that belonged to his grandfather, Joseph Slutz (1822-1907). He moved evidently from Lima, Ohio to Anderson County, Kansas. I will attach this note.
Appreciate your time and any help or guidance you may give me.

I have a .jpg picture of the 1817 VALENTINE FLOHR house located in McKnightstown, Adams County, PA. Quite a few Flohr relatives were Pastors in the Church of the Brethren. If you would like a copy of this .JPG, Click on the picture to see an enlargement, and then right click to "Save As".
