About the Book

Religions in America vary from structured to relaxed; historical to new age. Included in this country's social history are those sects commonly called the "plain religions." Plain religions, also called Plain People, are described as being Christian religious sects within the Anabaptist group that follow practices of simple living, separation from the world, and plain dress. Examples of plain religions include Amish and Mennonite, Huguenots, Hutterites, and Shakers. Though each are researched following standard practices for church records, it is helpful to know how each community is structured so that the correct records can be located. This guide will give you the basics of records, research, and terminology for each religious sect. Each section will also include helpful resources such as brief timelines, information on migration patterns, and of course research links to get you started both online and off.
About the Author: Who am I? I'm a wrangler of words and a keeper of family stories. I'm powered by God & good coffee. My favorite book will always be Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier (and has been since I was in the eighth grade.) I'm in love with the Oxford Comma. I'm hopelessly addicted to having my heart ripped out by BBC dramas. I love to insert references to history, pop culture, and humor into my writing and conversation. I currently have purple hair. I believe Joss Whedon can strike creative lightning at whim. Official Biography: Stephanie Pitcher Fishman is an author and professional genealogist specializing in Midwestern and Southeastern United States family history. She is the author of family history research guides in the Legacy QuickGuide series and Quick & Easy Guides for Genealogists on topics including religious records, census records, and state-specific research techniques. She lectures on topics such as Plain Religions, Quaker research, and introducing family history to children. Her first novel, Finding Eliza, combines everything that she loves: family history, historical fiction, and strong female characters. To learn more, visit: www.StephanieFishman.com.
