The SSS Family Association was formed in 1976 to promote the history and genealogy of our family. We have over 1700 individuals from the US and Canada on our mailing list. The first Schmucker to immigrate to America in 1754, Christian Schmucker, was an "Anabaptist Teacher" who left Switzerland seeking religious freedom. His route to America took him to Germany and Montbeliard, France and on to America with his family. Members have access to our SSS Family facebook page (restricted) and to the SSS Genealogy database which is housed at the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, Lancaster, PA.
The SSS Family Association will hold its 45th Year SSS Family Gathering in Smithville, Ohio at the Smithville Mennonite Church July 22nd through July 24th.
This family-centered event will feature guest speakers on a variety of topics including: self-guided tours of family historic sites, family DNA, family genealogy, family history, and activities for younger attendees of family members. Planning is in the early stages and we are looking for volunteers for a variety of tasks. Individuals residing in the Smithville-Orrville, Ohio interested in assisting in this effort should contact Stacey Delsh at sdelsh@gmail.com. Download the Fall Winter 2019 Newsletter
