Until I read this interview, I was unaware of the Swiss Amish in New York. Very enlightening information and I look forward to the 2nd interview. This really intrigues me because my genealogical background is Swiss. This is just one more of the facts in this world that I didn’t know…until now. Thanks for the giveaway and I appreciate the chance to win this book. I hope I do!
