European research encompasses many faucets of research.  It is beyond the scope of this manual to discuss in great detail the many European settlers that have migrated to Wayne County, OH.  Some discussion is devoted in the chapter on migration that gives more detail to the various ethnic groups in Wayne County, OH.  Germans and Swiss were the most common ethnic groups.  Many of the Swiss families settled in the Kidron, Sugar Creek Township as well as Milton and Green Townships.  A number of these Swiss families were Amish “Anabaptist” Mennonites.  Many were from Bern Canton, Switzerland; Sonnenberg, Switzerland; and Alsace, France.  A more detailed account of these immigrants may be found in the book, Crosswinds: From Switzerland to Crown Hill by James O. Lehman.
