Former Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society EVENTS Mennonite Life Offers Intro to Cemetery Research Class Mennonite Life offers an Intro to Cemetery Research class on Saturday, June 3, 9:30am – 11:30am.

The cost is $35 per person, and the class will be limited to 30 participants. Register by May 31 at mennonitelife.org or by calling 717-393-9745. If you are beginning family history research, this class, led by James C. Landis, will be invaluable for learning what to expect on your research journey and where to locate private cemetery and burial records. In today's information-intense environment, it is hard to believe this basic fact: there are almost no public records regarding who is buried in which cemetery. Share an article for the Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage journal Do you have a family story that demonstrates what it has meant to be a Mennonite? Consider sharing your family story with Mennonite Life for consideration in Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, a quarterly journal covering history, culture, religious thought and family histories of Amish and Mennonite-related groups originating in Pennsylvania.
