This book was written originally as a family history for the Harder and Quiring family trees. In the process of gathering data I discovered that the wealth of information I was coming across was sometimes hard to find and would add depth to the book. Other researchers were looking for the same information and I could save them the 100's of hours that I had spent looking for it if I documented the sources carefully. The result is a book that is 50% about the Mennonite migrations from Prussia, etc. and 50% about the specific families that are noted in the book. Enjoy! ( )
