Description: This book tells the story of the Eby family, tracing their lineage from their origins among the Vaudois, a persecuted Christian sect in medieval Italy, through their emigration to Switzerland and the Palatinate, and finally to Pennsylvania in the early 18th century. The author delves into the family's religious beliefs, exploring their adherence to the Vaudois faith and later their embrace of Mennonite teachings. The book weaves together genealogical records, personal anecdotes, and historical context to offer a detailed account of the Eby family's journey across continents and their experiences with religious persecution. The story of the Ebys is a microcosm of broader historical trends, reflecting the experiences of religious minorities facing oppression and seeking refuge in new lands. It highlights the tenacity of faith in the face of adversity and the significance of community in navigating societal shifts. The book's insights into the lives of the Eby family, their deep religious convictions, and their pursuit of freedom of worship offer a compelling and intimate perspective on a pivotal chapter in American history.
