sad fact of life for Mennonite immigrant lineage. Saddest part is that there aren't that many generations since they rode the boat to the US. I'm sure I'm related to everybody in Moundridge and half of Inman, Buhler and Hillsboro. Oh, and all of the escapees in Turpin, OK.One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more. -

I'm actually not of Mennonite heritage, at least, not that I'm aware of. We moved to Buhler when I was 4, so our family trees probably connect closer to Noah than ourselves.Originally posted by Shoxthemonkey View Post
So, I'm guessing your clan is either a Schroeder, Schmidt, Gaeddert, Goertzen, Ediger, Kroeker, Pankratz, Siemens, Regier/Regehr or Franz. That's 80% of the names on cemetery headstones in this area.Comment

Wow, That's a long list and you only hit 2nd cousins. Try Dick, Dyck, Adrian, Jantz, Stucky, Schrag or Goering and you'll be spot on.

I can't believe I missed some of those. Add Friesen and Ratzlaff to the list. Oh, and Kreihbel, too.Originally posted by Shoxthemonkey View PostComment
