April is a great time to visit Holland. It’s the only time I’ve been there for that matter, back in ’89. How nice you go to go, though it was such a short trip you probably had jet lag the whole time you were there. Now you have the pictures and the memories to bask in. Linda Rose

I never had the opportunity to visit Europe. Thank you for sharing them. My ancestors were the contemporary Amish who stayed behind when the 1st wave of Amish immigrated to the Colonies that became the USA. Most people think 100% came to the USA as a group before 1776. The persecution of European Anabaptists had ended by the 1850’s and there was no need to hid and worship in houses afraid and in secret. They were forbidden to marry outside of the church or evangelize the Protestants and Catholics. Contemporary followers of Jacob Ammon not Mennonite until 1870 or so in the USA. Simple meeting houses were built in SW Germany and the 2nd wave of Amish immigration stated to Central Illinois in 1850 and they continued as simple but contemporary Amish. There were probably similar stayed behind communities in Alsace and Netherlands. They never lived in PA or Kansas or Canada. Europe to America.
