The Ulrich/Baker Ancestral Lines

• IMPORTANT: Last names written on top of chart in BOLD refer to a family line on that page that can be traced back to the Original Amish or Mennonite immigrant to America. Therefore, a bold HOCHSTETLER name means that the line traces back to the originator of this Hochstetler line in America.
• There are Amish Mennonite names that have a letter and number code beside their name. (see below example of Millers). These are identifying codes from THE main resource of Amish Mennonite history by Hugh Gingerich. A code of ML7521, is read RIGHT to LEFT, and each number is a generation. It means that the person is the 1st child, of the 2nd child, of the 5th child, of the 7th child of ML, which is the immigrant MILLER, the originator of this line in America. That person is a direct descendent of an originator of that last name in America. In the above MILLER example; we descend from ML1, ML6, ML7 of the original Amish Mennonite Miller to come to America – in other words – we have lines that trace back to the 1st child, the 6th child and the 7th child of the original immigrant Miller.
• At the time, we have 22 original immigrant lines. Of those lines, due to intermarriage, more than 55 lines descend from those 22 people. (i.e. Grandpa Ira Baker and Grandma Mary Berth Baker BOTH descend from Indian captive boy Joseph Hochstetler, as does Grandma Lilian Eigsti’s step-mother).
