Hi Nadine,
Thanks for your interest. My latest file on rootsweb/ancestry contains about 35,000
records (after I update it this evening), about half of them being descendants of Johannes
GERBER d. 1777 Berks Co., PA. I think I have found an early connection between the Amish
and Brethren and this connection involves ZUGs. Barbara ZUG b 1745 and
d. 1812 Brothersvalley, Somerset Co., PA, m Johann Michael BUCHELE (or BEEGHLEY) abt 1772.
This line can be tracked to the Brethren GARBERs in Montgomery Co., OH. Was Barbara ZUG
d/o Christian ZUG b 1710 Hesse Germany and d. 1787 Chester Co., PA? Christian ZUG is
thought to be buried in the LAPP family Cem. in the Chester Valley (north of Philadelphia)
possibly at Whiteland or East Whiteland Twp. I sure would like to see the family of
Christian ZUG. I would also like to see the family of Moritz ZUG b 1715, possibly the
brother of Christian. I would appreciate a look-up in Harry's book. Thanks for your
help.

I was hoping that Harry Zook would answer this thread if he still had
his book available for sale. Since he didn't - perhaps I can offer
lookups in it as I purchased a copy and donated it to my local LDS
library. I would need to know the names of the specific individuals you
are interested in. My line is through Deborah, daughter of Peter Zug, son
of Ulrich and Barbara Bachman Zug, grandson of Hans Zug of Germany.
Deborah married David Miller about 1778 and they were in Kentucky by about
1800. I also own three Brethren History books that I am sure make mention
of early Garber/Gerber families in Pennsylvania. I will try to sift
through them and post what is there in the next day or two. Nadine Holder
