Dedication:

To the memory of:

1. Our forefathers whose devotion and faith has been preserved and passed on to us.
2. To the present generation of our family members scattered through many parts of our country and our world.
3. To the generations of years to come, yet unborn, this record is affectionately dedicated.

-Ezra Beachy, Family Record of Jonas S. Beachy and Fannie Miller, 1979.

If you are descended from Daniel Bender (Abt 1764-1842),Jacob Hochstetler (1704-Est 1776), or Jacob Hertzler (1703-1786), we are certainly some type of cousin. I would love to connect you to my tree!

Welcome!

This site was inspired by the book The Daniel Bender Family History, edited by Lucy Beachy, and published in 1985. I received it as a gift when I was a child, and spent countless hours and days wondering about the lives of all these people in my family.

If you have material that is relevant to my research, or are interested in collaboration, please reach out to me. I would love to work together to build something bigger than we can accomplish alone.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit!
