(After the end of WW II, the Hutterites
prospered. From the original three colonies, they have grown to about 300
colonies in Canada and 135 in the United States. Division in the US is 60
in South Dakota, 60 in Montana, 6 in Minnesota, and 4 in Washington. Their
total population is about 60,000.)

This is most interesting, I never heard of the Hutterites before. Were these
in any way related to our colonies that settled in Virginia?
