I have rather extensive info for Lewis Franklin and his ancestors and descendents. Am a great-granddaughter of John Leroy. I did my senior thesis in college on the migration of Amish Mennonites from Switzerland through Europe and to America, and I'd be happy to help if I can. Someone wrote of Yutzys from Alsace-Lorraine, for example. Well, they are all related, but because of religious persecution some didn't come directly from Switzerland but tried other parts of Europe first. L.F.Y. ancestors ended up in Waldeck, which is the northern part of the modern German state of Hesse, and they came from there in the early part of the 18th century.
