Comments on STONER BRETHREN

Fellowship of Brethren Genealogists NEWSLETTER,
Summer 1994: This is a very good reference book. It
has beautiful historic and modern pictures and is extremely
well documented with appendixes, notes and references,
bibliography and index. It is full of interesting personal and
historical information and it is easy to follow a generational line.

Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, July 1994: My first
impression of this genealogy was the high quality of its
physical properties - fine paper, sturdy binding, clarity of
typeface, winsome line drawings . . . This excellent genealogy
will prove acutely helpful to Stoner descendants and to
those interested in Brethren history of southcentral
Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Dr. E. Bittinger, Bridgewater, VA: I find it very
interesting, well documented, and an excellent piece of
work. Congratulations! It will become a major point of
reference for Brethren historians and genealogists from
this time on!

Mrs. K. (Stoner) Cameron, Bloomington, MN: . . .
in acknowledging receipt of your beautiful book,
STONER BRETHREN. . . Your diligent research has
clarified so many unanswered questions that all Stoner
researchers, or I should say, genealogists, will be forever
indebted to you.

R. (Richards) Curry, Central Point, OR: My
impression of your book is one of "AWE." You have
given those old Stoner "Bones" meaning, names and
dates, some "Flesh" or life, and reasons for moving
from here and there.

H. A. Diehl, Wilmington, DE: You have put together
a fine book. . . your evidence is overwhelming.

Dr. D. F. Durnbaugh, Elizabethtown, PA: I was
impressed with the thoroughness you have displayed
in gathering your material and writing the book on the
Stoner family. I know that this will be greeted with interest
by many people searching Brethren history and genealogy.

A. Fissel, Woodland, CA: I enjoyed your Stoner
book very much. The research was excellent and all
Stoner descendants owe you a great deal for
identifying our Jacob.

R. (Stoner) Fitzgerald, Chambersburg, PA: What
a great job on the book! I was very grateful to be able
to have the information on John Steiner. . . I hope future
generations appreciate your efforts. I know I do!

Mrs. M. (Lyon) Fox, Hartville, OH: . . . what a treat! . .
Your book is great - in every way. I can say without
reservation that it is the finest genealogical book I've yet
seen. . . Pictures, illustrations, maps - all are excellent. . .
the extent of your research and documentation is truly
remarkable. . . But most important of all, you have
broken new ground - thus making a major contribution
to our knowledge. . . .

R. W. Hendricks, Rochester, NY: I'm impressed
by the obvious quality of the research you did in preparing
and writing it, as well as the excellent job of publishing
and binding. It is a fine piece of work!. . . Thanks again,
and congratulations on an excellent piece of research and
writing.

R. R. Ridgeway, Norwalk, CT: Your STONER
BRETHREN book should certainly make you proud.
It contains more information than I ever expected even
though our family is only a small twig on this giant tree.
Your book presents the information in a clear and
logical order and the text itself makes excellent reading.

Dr. R. G. Roop, University Park, MD: It is certainly
the best "family genealogy book" that I have ever laid
eyes on. It makes for interesting reading. . . . Your book
is tastefully illustrated and represents exhaustive and
accurate research.

Dr. C. E. Schildknecht, Gettysburg, PA: The more
I have examined the book the more I am impressed by
the enormous amount of information, even to recent
years. How did you find time to do all that work? Your
interesting illustrations are also good.

N. E. Stoner, Sun City Center, FL: Mr. Weber
has made a tremendous research effort attempting to
run down each clue to its source and in the process
has added much to our family's history.

Waynesboro Historical Society Newsletter,
Waynesboro, PA: Mr. Weber has thoroughly documented
his research, arranged his product in an easy-to-follow
system, and presented it in an attractively and
substantially manufactured volume.
