The following list of genealogies is not complete by any means. There are many more printed genealogies which may be found at the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society (address at the end of this list.)

As with any printed genealogy, mistakes are made, and it is always good to search original sources mentioned in the genealogy. Since the Mennonites did not believe in infant baptism, however, these printed genealogies are an invaluable source of information and a very good starting point.
