Hi Linda and All,
My Descendants of Johannes Gerber d. 1777 Berks Co., PA that is posted on
rootsweb/ancestry is based, with a few exceptions, on a book by Gingerich and Kreider
"Amish and Amish-Mennonite Genealogies" (1968) which is available in most
genealogy libraries or LDS Family History Centers. I do not own this book and I can't
remember if ZUG/ZOOK is listed separately like my GERBERs are, but if so I would take this
listing as the best starting point.
In my latest file I have a dozen-or-so other GERBER/GARBER families. When completed, the
idea is that most people will be able to find which line a GERBER or GARBER in their
family tree comes from. When looking for ZUG ancestors, perhaps we are talking about a
time period before good records were kept and cemeteries by now have decayed or otherwise
have been destroyed.
The best information on later Mennonites and Amish-Mennonites is Mennobits:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mennobit/ . I am going to check to see if I can
find info on Linda's line, looking for ZOOKs that married descendants of my Johannes
GERBER..

Doug,
I can track the Zug/Zook line to Indiana. Starts with Ulrich Zug and Barbara
Bachaman. Both Ulrich and Barbara died in Chester Co.. PA. Ulrich in 1748
and Barbara in 1758.
Tying my line to yours goes this way.
Hans Zug and Barbara Dierstein were the parents of 4 children. One was Hans
Zug and another one was Peter Zug. Hans was the father of your Christian and
Peter was the father of my Ulrich. I see this differs with your info of
Christian being the son of John b. 1684. I could have some mis info as there were
several Zug families and all using the same names of Ulrich and Christian.
Anyway back to my line. It comes down like this:
Ulrich Zug and Barbara Bachman
Peter Zug and Mary Unknown
Abraham Zuck and Catherine Unknown (Abraham and Catherine were born in
PA and died IN in 1819)
David Zuck and Deborah Unknown was born in PA in 1792 and died in
1842 in IN)
Jonathan Zuck and Elmira Freeman
Mary E. Zuck and William Franklin McVay. (my great
grandparents)
Any info on any of these people that you might like I would be willing to
share.
