Researchers have discovered four family heads that are the
    progenitors of the Yoder Amish in America; outlined below, with
    the first-generation families listed. These lists serve as "hyperlinks"
  to the lists of descendants of these family heads. Please bear
  in mind that there are two large files of "unlinked" Yoders, which may or may not eventual prove to be connected
    here, as well as a file of "Alsatian Yoders" which contains
    more lists of Yoder immigrants.
