Credits:I recommend that anyone of Kleine Gemeinde Mennonite descent purchase or read Delbert Plett's Kleine Gemeinde Historical Series. Most important to any researcher are the four volumes entitled: Profile, Pioneers and Pilgrims, Leaders, and Dynasties. The Grandma-CD ROM project is also excellent although I do not have access to it myself. The warning regarding just purchasing the CD-ROM is that you may miss the many interesting details and letters written in Delbert's books regarding your ancestors. With the CD all you get is the names and dates which for some is satisfactory, however to create a lifestory about your great-grandma or great-grandpa it is better to get the details. Check local tax records, newspapers, locate their obituaries and interview as many people as possible. It is hard but worthwhile work! Enjoy the site.
