Title: Serious Omissions
Review: Serious omissions and poor search capabilities severely cripple this CD-Rom's usefulness for any serious genealogical research. Most of the Amish from the Berks County settlement are not included. Among those left out are Jacob Hertzler, first Amish Bishop in America, Johannes Lantz, and many of the early Yoder settlers. There is no search feature available because most of the CD is nothing more than web pages. There is an ebook included which requires a Windows operating system and the Microsoft ebook reader. The web pages can be read by persons with Macs; however, PC emulation software would be a necessity to view the ebook. Skip this CD and wait for the second edition of Gingerich and Kreider's Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies.
