AB - A comparative study of the experience of two groups of Mennonites-those of Swiss/south German origin who migrated from Pennsylvania to Waterloo County between 1800 and 1830, and the Dutch/North Germans who came from Russia to southern Manitoba in 1875. Extensive use is made of farm diaries of the 1890s, especially those kept by David Bergey of the New Dundee area in Wilmot Township, by his father-in-law Moses Bowman, and by Isadore Snyder and Ephriam Cressman (as well as by Manitoba Mennonite farmers). The author finds that, while the Ontario and Manitoba groups differed in various expressions of their cultural backgrounds and in their socioeconomic and physical settings, they shared "the established Mennonite values of a separated, ascetic way of life rooted in the agrarian household and sectarian community."
