I have seen it claimed that my ancestor Christian Neuenschwander
(Nyswanger) of Switzerland who emigrated to Pennsylvania in the early
1700's was married to Maria Magdalena Herr, granddaughter of the
founder of the Mennonites in America. Is there any proof of this?
I'd like to know if Maria Magdalena's surname is actually documented,
or whether this is just speculation.

Also, does anyone know if (or how) Evelyn (Eva) Nyswanger, who m.
Michael Lohr of Germany and lived in York Co., Pa. before relocating
to North Carolina, was related to Christian's family?

Thanks...
