A GIFT TO BE REMEMBERED ======================== 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.

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.

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. . . .
