Dear rootsweb readers and cousins all,
I have a flurry of Zooks and a slew of Yoders in my late father's
lineage. They are
well-documented thanks to Harry Zook's book, the amazing "Amish and
Amish
Mennonite Genealogies" by Hugh Gingerich and Rachel Kreider, and from
corrections and suggestions obtained through this very rootsweb many
months ago.
Here is the line to my query (quarry?):
Johannes Zug (1770-1853) m. Catharine Weidman
their youngest son Solomon P. Zook married Elizabeth Stutzman
their son John S. Zook (1845-1926) married second Elizabeth Yoder
their daughter, my grandmother, Anna Augusta Zook, married David Edward
Lantz
in Ohio.
I have very little information on the Lantz family who may have been
Amish Mennonite, but the name occurs infrequently compared to some of
the more familiar ones.
Thank you for whatever insight into the Zugs this correspondence may
produce, however I am most anxious to learn more about Lantzes so that
presently-hanging threads in my family research can be joined together.
If you, the reader, have no Lantzes in your tree but have encountered
helpful Amish-Mennonite resources, electronic or paper, I am happy for
the references. (I am already familiar with the Yoder Newsletter and
website as well as the Omni information; also have a book by Raymond
Lantz which, while interesting, led off in directions in his family
which were not also in mine.) Thank you.
